BCCI scraps Impact Player rule for 2024-25 edition of Mushtaq Ali Trophy

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to continue with the Impact Player rule in IPL for the next three seasons (2025-27), but will remove it from the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy for the 2024-25 edition. This decision follows criticism that the rule hampers all-rounder development and makes bowling tougher.
