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.

Published

By

The race for qualification in Group B of the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025 Schools Football Tournament is heating up, with three top schools still in contention for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Royal College Leads the Pack

Royal College, Colombo currently sits on top of Group B after an impressive 5-0 victory, showcasing both dominance and attacking flair. With two crucial matches left, Royal remains the favorite to finish as group leaders — but the battle is far from over.

Aligar Central’s Mixed Fortunes

Aligar Central College, last year’s runners-up and inaugural Ball Blaster champions, have had a mixed campaign so far. After one win and one narrow loss — the latter coming from an unfortunate own goal — the team still remains firmly in the race for qualification.

Kalutara Muslim Still in the Hunt

Kalutara Muslim Central College, one of the most competitive sides in this year’s tournament, has only played one game so far — securing a 1-0 win. With two matches still to play, they remain a real threat to the current table leaders.

Maris Stella Struggling for Form

Maris Stella College, on the other hand, has had a tough run, losing both their opening fixtures and conceding nine goals in the process. They will now look to finish strong and disrupt the group standings in the remaining matches.

With the Group B stage still wide open, the coming matchdays promise thrilling encounters as Royal, Aligar, and Kalutara fight for the top two quarterfinal spots in the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025.

The Group A stage of the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025 Schools Football Championship is heating up, with Zahira College Colombo emerging as the clear frontrunner after an unbeaten run in their first two matches. With six points and an impressive 8–2 goal difference, Zahira are well on course to top the group and secure a direct berth to the quarterfinals.

Zahira’s attacking flair and tactical balance have made them one of the most complete teams in this year’s tournament. Their consistent performances have set the tone in Group A, making them strong contenders for the overall title.

Behind them, the battle for the second qualifying spot is intensifying between Darussalam College and Gampola Zahira College. Both teams currently sit on three points each, but Darussalam have played one match more, leaving Gampola Zahira with a crucial game in hand.

Kingswood College, despite showing moments of promise, have struggled to convert opportunities into results and remain winless after three outings.

With two group matches remaining, the race for quarterfinal qualification is expected to go down to the wire. Zahira Colombo, the current Group A leader, will likely face Vaddakkachchi Central College (D2) from Group D in the knockout stage, while the second-placed team will meet Hameed Al Husseinie College (D1) — setting up thrilling contests ahead.
