New Rules

Impact Player

*Along with the starting XI, teams would name four substitutes in their team sheet at the toss, and use one of the four during the match. *The player can replace any member of the starting XI at any point before the end of the 14th over of either innings, and would be able to bat and bowl his full allotment of overs. *The tactical scope of the Impact Player rule is vast, with no real restriction on the role he can play. For example, the Impact Player can replace a batter who has already been dismissed, and still get to bat - as long as the team only uses 11 batters or he could replace a bowler who has already sent down a few overs and still get to bowl his full four-over quota.
