Impact Player rule scrapped for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024

The Impact Player concept was introduced in SMAT couple of years ago and was later extended to the Indian Premier League.

“Kindly note that the BCCI has decided to do away with the provision of the ‘Impact Player’ for the ongoing season,” the BCCI informed the state associations on Monday.

The BCCI's decision to do away with the Impact Player comes shortly after it decided to retain the rule in the IPL till 2027. With record 250 plus total seen in the IPL this year, the Impact Player experiment was questioned by many including India skipper Rohit Sharma.
