What is the latest Impact Player rule in cricket?

Published

on

The BCCI is set to introduce the Impact Player rule in the upcoming season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy domestic men’s T20 tournament, which begins on October 11.

What exactly is this law?

Each team will nominate four substitutes on the team sheets at the toss, only one of whom may be used as an Impact Player during the match. Both teams can only use one Impact Player. This is not mandatory.

An Impact Player can replace any player in the starting XI before the 14th over of an innings. The captain, head coach or manager must inform the on-field or fourth umpire before the end of the current over. A batting team can introduce an Impact Player when a wicket falls or at the break of the innings. After an Impact Player is introduced in a match, the player can bat and bowl his entire four overs in consecutive innings. If a player is injured, the Impact Player can only be introduced at the end of the over in progress and is eligible to bat. Only 11 players can bat at any time.

Can the substitute continue to participate in the game?

No, the substitute can no longer participate in the game – not even as a substitute keeper. But if a player is injured while fielding in the middle of an innings, the current playing conditions will apply as calculated under MCC Law 24.1 – Replacement Keepers. However, if the injured player is replaced by an Impact Player, he can no longer participate in the match. Otherwise, the Impact Player can be introduced only after the end of the innings for the fielding side.

If an Impact Player is used by a team and an injury occurs, MCC Law 24 – Fielder’s Absence; Substitutes – will be implemented. If the umpires are satisfied that a fielding player is injured or ill during the match, a substitute fielding player will be allowed to field in place of an injured player. The substitute should not bowl or act as captain.

Will Impact Player Rule be used in IPL 2023?

There is no official communication on whether BCCI plans to introduce the rule in IPL.

ක්‍රිකට් ක්‍රීඩාවට අලුතෙන්ම එන Impact Player නීතිය කුමක්ද? 

BCCI විසින් ඔක්තෝම්බර් 11 වනදා ආරම්භ වන Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy දේශීය පිරිමි T20 තරඟාවලියේ ඉදිරි වාරයේදී Impact Player නීතිය හඳුන්වා දීමට නියමිතයි.

ඇත්තටම මොකක්ද මේ නීතිය

සෑම කණ්ඩායමක්ම කාසියේ වාසියේ දී කණ්ඩායම් පත්‍රවල ආදේශක හතරක් නම් කරනු ඇති අතර, ඔවුන්ගෙන් එක් අයෙකු පමණක් තරඟය අතරතුර Impact Player ලෙස භාවිතා කළ හැකිය. කණ්ඩායම් දෙකටම භාවිතා කළ හැක්කේ එක් Impact Player එකක් පමණි. මෙය අනිවාර්ය නොවේ.

Impact Player හට ඉනිමක 14 වැනි ඕවරයට පෙර ආරම්භක XI හි සිටින ඕනෑම ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු ආදේශ කළ හැකිය. නායකයා, ප්‍රධාන පුහුණුකරු හෝ කළමනාකරු වත්මන් ඕවරය අවසන් වීමට පෙර පිටියේ සිටින හෝ සිවුවැනි විනිසුරුට දැනුම් දිය යුතුය. පන්දුවට පහර දෙන කණ්ඩායමකට කඩුල්ලක් වැටෙන විට හෝ ඉනිමේ විවේකයේදී Impact Player එකක් හඳුන්වා දිය හැකිය. තරඟයකදී Impact Player හඳුන්වා දීමෙන් පසු, ක්‍රීඩකයාට පන්දුවට පහර දිය හැකි අතර ඔහුගේ සම්පූර්ණ ඕවර හතරම අඛණ්ඩ ඉනිමකදී යැවීමට හැකිය. ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු ආබාධයට ලක් වන්නේ නම්, Impact Player හඳුන්වා දිය හැක්කේ ක්‍රියාත්මක වෙමින් පවතින ඕවරය අවසානයේ පමණක් වන අතර පන්දුවට පහර දීමට සුදුසුකම් ලබයි. ඕනෑම අවස්ථාවක පන්දුවට පහර දිය හැක්කේ ක්‍රීඩකයින් 11 දෙනෙකුට පමණි.

ආදේශක ක්‍රීඩකයාට තවදුරටත් ක්‍රීඩාවට සහභාගි විය හැකිද?

නැත, ආදේශක ක්‍රීඩකයාට තවදුරටත් ක්‍රීඩාවට සහභාගී විය නොහැක – ආදේශක පන්දු රකින්නෙකු ලෙස පවා නොවේ. නමුත් පන්දුවාරයක් මැද පන්දු රකිමින් සිටියදී ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු ආබාධයකට ලක් වුවහොත්, MCC නීතිය 24.1 – ආදේශක පන්දු රකින්නන් යටතේ ගණනය කර ඇති පරිදි වත්මන් ක්‍රීඩා කොන්දේසි ක්‍රියාත්මක වේ. කෙසේ වෙතත්, තුවාල ලැබූ ක්‍රීඩකයා වෙනුවට Impact Player නම්, ඔහුට තවදුරටත් තරඟයට සහභාගී විය නොහැක. එසේ නොමැතිනම්, Impact Player හඳුන්වා දිය හැක්කේ පන්දු රකින පැත්ත සඳහා පන්දුවාරය අවසන් වූ පසුව පමණි.

Impact Player කණ්ඩායමක් විසින් භාවිතා කර ආබාධයක් සිදුවුවහොත්, MCC නීතිය 24 – ෆීල්ඩර් නොපැමිණීම; ආදේශක – ක්රියාත්මක වනු ඇත. තරඟය අතරතුර පන්දු රකින ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු ආබාධයකට ලක්ව හෝ රෝගාතුර වූ බවට විනිසුරුවන් සෑහීමකට පත් වුවහොත්, ආබාධයකට ලක් වූ ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු වෙනුවට ආදේශක පන්දු රකින්නෙකුට පන්දු රැකීමට අවසර ලැබේ. ආදේශකයා පන්දු යැවීම හෝ නායකයා ලෙස කටයුතු නොකළ යුතුය.

IPL 2023 දී Impact Player නීතිය භාවිතා කරයිද?

BCCI IPL හි රීතිය හඳුන්වා දීමට සැලසුම් කරන්නේද යන්න පිළිබඳව නිල සන්නිවේදනයක් නොමැත.

கிரிக்கெட்டில் சமீபத்திய தாக்க வீரர் விதி என்ன?

அக்டோபர் 11 ஆம் தேதி தொடங்கும் சையத் முஷ்டாக் அலி டிராபி உள்நாட்டு ஆடவர் டி20 போட்டியின் வரவிருக்கும் சீசனில் இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயர் விதியை பிசிசிஐ அறிமுகப்படுத்த உள்ளது.

இந்த சட்டம் சரியாக என்ன?

ஒவ்வொரு அணியும் நாணயச் சுழற்சியில் அணித் தாள்களில் நான்கு மாற்று வீரர்களை பரிந்துரைக்கும், அவர்களில் ஒருவரை மட்டுமே போட்டியின் போது இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயராகப் பயன்படுத்தலாம். இரு அணிகளும் ஒரு தாக்க வீரரை மட்டுமே பயன்படுத்த முடியும். இது கட்டாயமில்லை.

ஒரு இன்னிங்ஸின் 14வது ஓவருக்கு முன் தொடக்க XI இல் உள்ள எந்த வீரரையும் ஒரு தாக்க வீரர் மாற்ற முடியும். கேப்டன், தலைமைப் பயிற்சியாளர் அல்லது மேலாளர் தற்போதைய ஓவர் முடிவதற்குள் களத்தில் இருக்கும் அல்லது நான்காவது நடுவருக்குத் தெரிவிக்க வேண்டும். ஒரு விக்கெட் விழும்போது அல்லது இன்னிங்ஸின் இடைவேளையின் போது ஒரு பேட்டிங் டீம் ஒரு தாக்க வீரரை அறிமுகப்படுத்தலாம். ஒரு போட்டியில் இம்பாக்ட் ப்ளேயர் அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்பட்ட பிறகு, அந்த வீரர் தனது நான்கு ஓவர்களையும் ஒரு தொடர்ச்சியான இன்னிங்ஸில் பேட் செய்து பந்து வீச முடியும். ஒரு வீரர் காயம் அடைந்தால், இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயரை ஓவரின் முடிவில் மட்டுமே அறிமுகப்படுத்த முடியும் மற்றும் அவர் பேட்டிங் செய்ய தகுதியுடையவர். எந்த நேரத்திலும் 11 வீரர்கள் மட்டுமே பேட்டிங் செய்ய முடியும்.

மாற்று வீரர் விளையாட்டில் தொடர்ந்து பங்கேற்க முடியுமா?

இல்லை, மாற்று வீரர் இனி விளையாட்டில் பங்கேற்க முடியாது – மாற்று கீப்பராக கூட இல்லை. ஆனால் ஒரு இன்னிங்ஸின் நடுவில் பீல்டிங் செய்யும் போது ஒரு வீரர் காயம் அடைந்தால், MCC சட்டம் 24.1 – ரீப்ளேஸ்மென்ட் கீப்பர்களின் கீழ் கணக்கிடப்பட்ட தற்போதைய ஆட்ட நிலைமைகள் பொருந்தும். இருப்பினும், காயம்பட்ட வீரருக்குப் பதிலாக இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயர் சேர்க்கப்பட்டால், அவர் இனி போட்டியில் பங்கேற்க முடியாது. இல்லையெனில், ஃபீல்டிங் தரப்புக்கு இன்னிங்ஸ் முடிந்த பிறகுதான் இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயரை அறிமுகப்படுத்த முடியும்.

ஒரு இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயர் அணியால் பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டு காயம் ஏற்பட்டால், MCC சட்டம் 24 – ஃபீல்டர் இல்லாதது; மாற்றுகள் – செயல்படுத்தப்படும். போட்டியின் போது ஒரு பீல்டிங் வீரர் காயம் அல்லது உடல்நிலை சரியில்லாமல் இருப்பதாக நடுவர்கள் திருப்தி அடைந்தால், காயமடைந்த வீரருக்கு பதிலாக மாற்று பீல்டிங் வீரர் பீல்டிங் செய்ய அனுமதிக்கப்படுவார். மாற்று வீரர் பந்துவீசவோ அல்லது கேப்டனாக செயல்படவோ கூடாது.

IPL 2023 இல் Impact Player Rule பயன்படுத்தப்படுமா?

பிசிசிஐ ஐபிஎல்லில் விதியை அறிமுகப்படுத்த திட்டமிட்டுள்ளதா என்பது குறித்து அதிகாரப்பூர்வ தகவல் எதுவும் இல்லை.

Group C Still Up for Grabs as Four Teams Eye Quarterfinal Spots in Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025!

Published

By

The Lifebuoy Bodywash Ball Blaster 2025 Schools Football Championship Group C stage remains finely poised — with all four schools still in contention to reach the quarterfinals. With Gateway College having completed all their matches, the final fixtures will decide the fate of St. Benedict’s, St. Patrick’s, and St. Joseph’s Colleges.

Current Standings:

SchoolMWLDGSGAGDPoints
Gateway College310264+25
St. Benedict’s College210132+14
St. Patrick’s College201134-11
St. Joseph’s College101013-20

Gateway College – Top for Now 🟢

Gateway College leads with 5 points after finishing all their group-stage matches. Their unbeaten record gives them a strong edge, but their qualification still depends on the final two matchdays. They’ll be watching closely as St. Benedict’s and St. Patrick’s fight for crucial wins.

St. Benedict’s College – Advantage in Hand ⚪

With 4 points from 2 games, St. Benedict’s College holds the upper hand. A victory in their next match will guarantee a quarterfinal spot, potentially as Group winners. A draw could still be enough, but a defeat would leave them vulnerable to a late surge from the other two schools.

St. Patrick’s College – Still in the Race 🟡

With 1 point from 2 games, St. Patrick’s still has a chance to qualify — but only if they win the remaining match. They’ll also need to improve their goal difference, currently at -1, to stay competitive in case of a tie on points.

St. Joseph’s College – A Must-Win Situation 🔵

After losing their opening game, St. Joseph’s College faces a do-or-die scenario. With two matches left, the Josephians must win both — and by convincing margins — to stay in contention for a top-two finish. Anything less will end their campaign.

Qualification Scenarios:

  • 🏆 If St. Benedict’s wins next match: Gateway and Benedict’s advance.
  • 🤝 If St. Benedict’s draws next match: Gateway likely through; second spot open between Benedict’s and Patrick’s.
  • If St. Benedict’s loses: St. Patrick’s or St. Joseph’s could qualify by winning their remaining games.

The Group C showdown promises edge-of-the-seat drama as school football’s finest battle for survival in the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025. Every point counts — and one mistake could end a dream run.

Stay tuned to Sri Lankan Sports TV for live coverage, photos, and exclusive post-match reactions from the players and coaches.
