Hence, an Impact Player can replace a player from the Playing XI before the start of the game or after an over. The captain will have to nominate the impact player before the match.
“Only an overseas player who is part of 4 substitutes named in the team sheet can be used as an Impact Player. If a team introduces an overseas player as an Impact Player in a match, in no circumstance can a 5th overseas player take the field,” BCCI confirmed in a note to the franchises as per Cricbuzz.
