BCCI Seeks IPL Franchises' Feedback on Impact Player Rule and Cricket Operations
The BCCI has reopened discussions on the Impact Player rule ahead of the next IPL season by seeking feedback from all 10 franchises. This follows concerns raised during the IPL 2026 season about the rule's impact on bowlers and the balance of the game, despite earlier indications it would continue. The board is also collecting input on other cricket operations such as PMOA, umpiring, and playing conditions. Prominent players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have expressed opposition to the rule, while BCCI officials have noted varied match outcomes under the current system.
