Over all these previous, in all the 10 previous seasons there have been many changes made in the rules of IPL, so many new rules were brought in and many rules were removed.
All these years we have seen many team struggling who have struggled to keep up with the demanding fixtures of the league, mainly due to injuries of the players.
Now, because of the same reasons Indian Premier League has introduced a new move in which the teams will be allowed to a mid-season transfer window in which the teams can switch to make a new team just like how it happens in football. However, there will be a few conditions for a player to be eligible for that window.
This will be the first time in 11 years, that the teams will undergo a ransfer window which will be active from Match 28 and Match 42. During this time, the teams will also be able to exchange the uncapped players alongwith those players who have played not more two matches in the league till now.
Apart from this, the two teams will also be able to negotiate and buy their favorite players from the team. However, the only important thing which needs to be kept under mind is, the only players who have only played two or lesser matches will be eligible for this new rule.
The skipper of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma has supported this new rule, talking about it he said:
“The mid-season transfer window will give the teams an opportunity to see what they need in the squad and other teams will also be looking at what players they can get,”
He added:
“It completely depends on the franchise if a situation comes when we need to get a player or give a player. It is good for the tournament and will add even more value to it”.
For this new changes, a few names available for the swap includes, Adam Milne(MI), JP Duminy (MI), Sandeep Lamichhane (DD), Alex Hales (SRH), Colin de Grandhomme (RCB), Moeen Ali (RCB) and David Willey (CSK).
