It's fine for now but all-rounders could lose out at some stage: Phillips on Impact Player
It's fine for now but all-rounders could lose out at some stage: Phillips on Impact Player
NEW DELHI: (Mar 27) The Impact Player rule in the IPL is working at the moment but it could pose issues for the development of all-rounders at some stage, reckons New Zealand and Gujarat Titans all-rounder Glenn Phillips.
The rule has divided opinions but the BCCI has extended it to at least the 2027 edition.
It essentially gives teams the license to go hard from ball one with the cushion of an extra batter in the form of an Impact Player. Similarly, teams can also bring in a specialist bowler instead of an all-rounder.
