The BCCI is planning to use the impact player concept in the 2019 IPL season in an effort to provide teams more tactical flexibility. Under this system, the captains will have the option to change one member of the starting XI with a replacement player at any time. The Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament in October was when BCCI first tested the method, and the state teams mostly applauded the decision.
The issue was discussed before the IPL Governing Council on Thursday night, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Regarding the implementation of tactical substitution, a memo has already been written to the franchisees.
Under the condition of anonymity, a franchise IPL source spoke to PTI and said, The topic has been discussed at the IPL GC meeting and BCCI will reveal the specifics soon.The playing rules used for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy will be used while the specifics are still being worked out. A team may have four pre-determined substitute players that can be listed as tactical substitutions, and one of them may be deployed in a match situation, according to the impact player.Any such replacement must, however, enter the game before or before the conclusion of the 14th over of a team’s innings, if necessary.The IPL in 2023 will take place from April to October.HOW DO THE IMPACT PLAYER RULES WORK, THEN?If Prithvi Shaw of the Delhi Capitals is dismissed cheaply and the club believes that Yash Dhull, one of the four substitutes, is a power hitter similar to Shaw, he can bat.
Similar to this, in the case of a bowling team, MS Dhoni can replace Deepak Chahar with Sam Curran (if CSK chooses him) before the 14th over and instruct him to bowl his entire four-over quota in order to gain the most advantage if he feels the conditions at the Eden Gardens are favourable for seam and swing.The BCCI had stated in a note to state units prior to the Mushtaq Ali Trophy, With the ever-growing popularity of T20 cricket, it is imperative that we look at introducing new dimensions which will make this format more attractive and interesting not only for our viewers but also the participating teams from a strategic viewpoint.Comment your views below.
