Super-subs to make an appearance at ILT20 2024
Written by I Dig SportsJust like in the case of an Impact Player, the replaced player cannot take any further part in the match.
While not mandatory, teams can introduce the Super-sub at any point after the first over the match, or even at the start of the second innings.
The one key condition set by the ILT20, though, is that a minimum of two UAE players must be part of the playing XI at all times.
In its inaugural edition earlier this year, the ILT20 allowed a maximum of nine overseas players in a playing XI along with a minimum of two UAE players. So, if the Super-sub is a UAE player, he can replace a fellow local or an overseas player.
In the updated playing conditions, teams will need to submit squads of 18, which will include at least four UAE players along with two Associate overseas players, on the eve of the match.
The batting team can bring out a Super-sub at the completion of an over, at the fall of a wicket, or in case a batter retires (injured or voluntarily). In case a Super-sub replaces a retired batter, it will be logged as a wicket. The bowling team can also get the Super-sub at the fall of a wicket, but the player will not be allowed to complete an unfinished over. A Super-sub, though, can bowl his full quota of overs regardless of the number of overs delivered by the player replaced.
