Furthermore, a change has been made to the rules regarding the impact player in this domestic tournament. From now on, teams will have the option to field an impact player at any time during the match, in addition to selecting their first eleven before the toss. Alongside the regular playing eleven, four substitute cricketers can be nominated as impact players.
These changes have been implemented in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy starting from the previous season, where the impact player was fielded after the 14th over.
