The move would allow captains to come with the different team sheets and as per the toss result they will hand over their final Playing XI with the appropriate impact player included.
“Currently the captains have to exchange the team lists before the toss. This has been changed to exchange of teams immediately post the toss, to enable teams to choose the best XI depending on whether they are batting or bowling first. It will also assist the teams to plan for the impact player,” ESPNcricinfo reported.
Hence, the IPL joins the SA20 as the second T20 franchise event to permit teams to disclose their starting lineup following the toss.
Teams list 13 players on the squad sheet for the SA20, which recently held its maiden season, before declaring their final XI after the toss.
The IPL has adopted a similar strategy currently, with another crucial element being neutralising the influence of dew, which has historically had a significant impact on matches at various Indian grounds, negatively affecting teams that bowl second.
Other IPL playing condition tweaks:
Over rate penalty of only four fielders outside the 30-yard circle for every over not completed in the allocated time.
Unfair movement of the wicketkeeper will result in a dead ball and 5 penalty runs.
Unfair movement by a fielder will result in a dead ball and 5 penalty runs.
