One League Being Successful Makes A Lot Of Sense For Others To Follow Suit, Says Anjum Chopra On Super-sub Rule In ILT20
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders: The second season of the International League (IT) T20 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will feature a Super-sub rule, and all six participating teams will have the option to substitute one player at any stage of the match after completion of the first over of the innings. If needed, the super-sub rule can be used by the teams right from the beginning of the second innings.
Former India captain Anjum Chopra, who will be commentating on ILT20 season two happening from January 19 to February 17, believes the success of impact player rule in the IPL in 2023, which is the base for the super-sub ruling, has shown other leagues a path to follow.
“It’s nice as in India we saw this rule in the form of Impact Player in domestic cricket a year and a half back before the IPL. Also, most other leagues have started utilising that rule, so Super-sub is a nice thing as long as it doesn’t take too much time on the ground with the changes, which doesn’t because the umpire has to just give the indication that the Super-sub change is going to be made.”
