BCCI long expressed their interest in introducing the change in T20s. Before the SMAT20, the Indian cricket board intimidated all state units by introducing ‘new dimensions’ into the game.
“With the ever-growing popularity of T20 cricket, it is imperative that we look at introducing new dimensions which will make this format more attractive and interesting not only for our viewers but also the participating teams from a strategic viewpoint. The BCCI would like to introduce the concept of ‘Impact Player’ wherein participating teams could replace one member of its playing XI during a T20 match based on the context of the game,” the BCCI had said in a statement to the state units earlier this year.
