BCCI Secretary Jay Shah says the ‘Impact Player’ rule, which has divided opinions in the ongoing IPL, can be revisited if that’s what the stakeholders want given that it was introduced as a “test case”.
The impact player rule has had a heavy bearing on the ongoing edition with teams crossing 250-run mark as many as eight times so far. Players, coaches as well as experts have pointed out the challenges which the impact player rule poses to the bowlers, saying that it allows teams to have extended batting line-ups.
India captain Rohit Sharma has stated that the rule hurts allrounders as they are not getting enough bowling opportunities.
“Impact player rule was brought in as a test case. On the bright side, it is providing additional playing opportunities to two Indian players,” he said in an interaction with select media at the BCCI office here on Thursday.
“Isn’t it important that two Indian players are getting a chance? The game is also becoming more competitive,” he added.
Shah said all stakeholders will sit down in a meeting likely to be held after the T20 World Cup to decide on it.
