ILT20 2024: New Rules

The International League T20 has introduced two new rules for the 2024 edition of the league.

These two rules are

  • Wildcard Rule: This rule allows all six franchises to add two more players to their squads, and these two extra players can join their team at any time in the league. This rule was introduced to mitigate the scenarios when players are not fully available or are ruled out due to unforeseen injuries.

  • Super-Sub Rule: This rule allows teams to substitute one player during the game. The player can be substituted any time after completing the 1st over of the match or before the start of the 2nd innings. A substitute cannot be recalled and replaced by the main player or any other additional substitutes.
