The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 ended months ago, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the IPL Governing Council held a meeting today, in which they discussed several things, one of which was the Impact Player rule. It has been a concern for several teams, and players have also raised their voices against it.

The all-rounder system has completely vanished from the league, and teams do not play an all-rounder despite being available, as they play a specialist batter or a bowler.
