Delhi Capitals (DC) bowling coach, James Hopes, reckons that the Impact Player rule, introduced in the Indian Premier League last season, could soon be used in other leagues around the world too.

During the post-match media interaction after DC’s thumping six-wicket win over Gujarat Titans (GT), Hopes said that teams go really hard due to the Impact Player rule. “The extra batter [impact sub] has the ability to do that [batsmen going hard]. We try to keep options open with it. Whether I think it’s [impact sub rule] good or bad for the tournament, I am not going to say it here. We have to make it work, and I think it will start creeping into some of the tournaments around the world,” he said.
