MUMBAI: Even as it has decided to continue with the Impact Player rule in the high-profile India Premier League (IPL) for the next three seasons-2025-27, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, in a rather surprising decision, has decided to scrap the controversial rule, which allows a team to substitute a batsman or bowler at any point during the match, for the forthcoming edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy.
While sending the guidelines to all the state associations about the rules and regulations of all the other domestic tournaments on August 5, Amit Siddheshwar, the BCCI's Manager, Cricket operations, had mentioned: "Men's T20 Playing conditions will be shared shortly."
