BCCI confirmed Impact Player rule in the IPL until at least 2027
BCCI confirmed that the Impact Player rule will continue in the IPL until at least 2027. This decision follows extensive discussions among stakeholders regarding the rule's effectiveness and its impact on gameplay. The Impact Player rule, introduced in the previous season, allows teams to substitute a player mid-innings, providing strategic flexibility and enhancing match dynamics.
In addition to confirming the Impact Player rule's continuation, the BCCI is also expected to announce new player retention rules ahead of the upcoming mega auction.
As franchises prepare for the auction, the BCCI aims to balance continuity with competitiveness while addressing concerns about player withdrawals and availability. Overall, these developments show a proactive approach by the BCCI to enhance the IPL's appeal and maintain its status as a premier cricketing event.
