Jhulan Goswami Hopes To See Impact Player Rule In Women's Domestic Cricket Next Season
The impact player rule has already been implemented in the ongoing IPL 2023 and the newly-introduced rule allows a player to do everything, the moment he takes the pitch.
India’s legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami stated that she will not get surprised if the impact player rule will be introduced in the domestic circuit for women from the next season and also in the Women’s Premier League. The impact player rule has already been implemented in the ongoing IPL 2023 and the newly-introduced rule allows a player to do everything, the moment he takes the pitch. As per the rule book "Impact Player can only be an Indian player unless the franchise has fewer than four overseas players in the Playing XI.
“The rule has definitely enhanced a lot of things. As team management, you can pick when you want to use a batter or a bowler. Hopefully, in the coming year, we will see the same rule in the domestic season for women’s cricket also. I will not be surprised if that rule is implemented in the coming season,” said Goswami in an interaction conducted by Jio Cinema.
“First you have to implement it in domestic cricket and then in the other tournaments so that players can understand what the rule is. In the future, WPL will definitely see the impact player rule,” said Jhulan Goswami, the Bengal-based bowler.
The Bengal-based legend also spoke about Rohit Sharma’s form in the ongoing IPL 2023 and according to her, Rohit’s form is not a concern for the Mumbai Indians.
“I don’t think Rohit Sharma’s form is a concern. He has not fired but still Mumbai Indians won their last game quite comfortably. We know what Rohit Sharma can do, he is one big game away,” she said.
“As a unit Mumbai Indians have (also) not bowled well but their batters are competing, and have scored runs in (almost) each game. The batters have tried to compensate for that, this is how the game is played,” Goswami added.
