a decision will be taken soon
The BCCI secretary said that recently we had a meeting with the franchise owners, in which the 'Impact Player' rule was discussed in depth. This rule has both advantages and disadvantages. Its disadvantage is that it limits the role of an all-rounder. However, its positive aspect is that it gives an Indian player a chance to showcase his talent. The game is the most important, we will take a decision on this soon.
Who benefits from the impact player rule?
Under this rule, teams are allowed to include an additional player, who can only bat or bowl. Because of this, young and inexperienced all-rounders are not getting a chance to play. Also, teams like Punjab Kings have also benefited from this rule. In IPL 2024, Punjab included Ashutosh Sharma as an 'impact player', who performed very well and proved to be the emerging player of the season.
