During IPL 2024, many questions were raised on the impact player rule. Many veterans believed that due to the impact player, the importance of all-rounders in the team is ending. Many cricket experts had also demanded the removal of the rule. However, the BCCI has not held any hearing in this matter.
The ‘Impact Player’ rule will continue
Let us tell you that along with the new rules, the BCCI has also announced that the impact player rule will continue in IPA 2025. Not only in the 2025 IPL, but this rule will continue in the cycle from 2025 to 2027. BCCI introduced the rule of impact player in 2023. From the beginning, people have different views about this rule. It is believed that big scores are being seen in IPL only with the arrival of impact players. Big scores provide good entertainment to the fans. In such a situation, BCCI would not want to reduce the entertainment of the fans in any way.
