T20 teams can now be given the option of having 4 extra players so that the playing XI can be changed during the match. The player to be taken after the change in the playing XI will be called the Impact Player. It can be used by both teams only once during the match.
The BCCI is currently implementing this rule on an experimental basis in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy starting October 11. According to media reports, BCCI has sent a circular to all the state associations in this regard.
Let's understand how the Impact Player rule will apply
Before the toss, teams will have to name 11 players as well as four impact players. Teams will have to inform the field umpire and fourth umpire. The impact player cannot be used in place of the suspended player during the match. The impact player can be used before the 14th over of both innings.
The player who is brought out in the middle of the match and brought to the Impact player will not be brought back inside the ground for the whole match. He can't even field as an extra player.
The batting team will be able to use the impact player during a fall or break. He can be sent for batting, but the player on whose behalf he will join will not be able to come during the fielding in the match.
If a team bowling brings in an impact player instead of a bowler who has also completed his entire over, it will not affect the impact player. Impact players will also be able to bowl 4 overs.
Last year the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was won by Tamil Nadu.
what's the rule now
Currently, in T20, teams have to give the name of the 12th player along with the players of the playing XI. The 12th player is used by teams during fielding, but the 12th player can neither bat, bowl nor keep a wicket.
These rules are applicable in Big Bash League
This rule is applicable in Australia's T20 league Big Bash named X Factor. In this, every team can include the 12th or 13th player in the playing-11 before the 10th over of the first innings. During this, he can be replaced by players who do not bat or bowl more than one over.
ICC's super sub rule has failed
The International Cricket Council introduced a super sub rule in 2005. Under this, teams were allowed to keep the 12th player. Teams could use him in place of one of the players in the playing XI during the match.
Under this rule, the super sub was only allowed to do one thing. That is, the super sub has been brought in for a batsman, so he could have batted. Couldn't bowl. If included as a bowler, he could only bowl. He was not allowed to field. This rule was abolished by the ICC only after 9 months.
