“You’re talking about strategies, you’re talking about tactics, all that will come into play. And the fact remains that you can bring a substitute by the end of the 14th over. So, the captain needs to be very flexible, they need some more inputs from the coaching staff. So, all that one can see in the coming domestic tournament”, Saba Karim added.

BCCI is said to have decided upon introducing this unique rule in order to make the contests more interesting. The Indian Cricket board will run the impact player rule in domestic cricket first. It is set to benefit teams with substitute players, especially with the growing popularity of the T20 games.

The rumored upon concept will see substituted players actively participate in a match. It is also being reported that BCCI could look to implement the rule in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League, if it receives positive response during the trial period.
