IPL 2025: Saliva ban removed, slow over-rate rule tweaked, Impact Player rule to stay
Op IndiaThe Board of Control for Cricket in India has made some significant changes in rules for IPL 2025, which begins on March 22. BCCI has introduced rule changes in IPL 2025, including the lifting of the saliva ban, the continuation of the Impact Player rule and slow over rate ban cannot be imposed on Captains anymore, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal to ANI The removal of the saliva ban, introduced as a COVID-19 precautionary measure, is a major move. Several fast bowlers have opined that the ban impedes their effectiveness by not allowing reverse swing, which has become uncommon in white-ball cricket, including ODIs, where two new balls are utilized. Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya had received a one-match ban after the team’s last encounter in IPL 2024 against the Lucknow Super Giants for maintaining a slow over-rate. The much-debated Impact Player rule, introduced in IPL 2023, will continue to be a part of the tournament.
