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 all-rounders as they are not getting enough bowling opportunities.
