After the opening over, each side will be able to replace an individual at any point during the game. The side has the option to bring in a Super-Sub immediately into the second inning if they so want. After being substituted, a player is not allowed to play the remainder of the game.
The on-field umpire will indicate to the scorers (wrists crossed above the head) that the Super-Sub has been introduced. The head coach will suggest the Super-Sub to the fourth umpire. Super-Subs can be used at any point during an over, after the match has begun. It can also be done after the drop of the wicket in the event of a batsman.
When a wicket falls, the bowling side may also use a Super-Sub. However if the wicket falls in the middle of the over, the Super-Sub is not allowed to deliver the remaining deliveries.
Beyond the initial cap of 22 players, each side may add up to two more players to its roster. This is not required; it is an option. Franchises may spend up to 10% of their salary cap, or $250,000, on Wildcard players. This is provided if they have already spent the entire $2.5 million on salaries.
Teams may use the leftover funds and, if necessary, an additional sum up to $250,000. Keeping in mind the limits of Wildcard player budget if they still have space in the initial $2.5 million pay cap. During the season, wildcard players are allowed to enter ILT20 at any point. Wildcard players are not transferable to other Wildcard players or replacements.
“The Wildcard will help the teams further strengthen their squad” : David White
David White, ILT20 CEO spoke about the two new rules as he said, “We are excited to introduce the Super-Sub and Wildcard in the ILT20 Season 2. The Wildcard will help the teams further strengthen their squads in the lead-up and during the season while the Super-Sub provides the teams, the tactical option of replacing a player during a match.”
The ILT20 CEO added, “The ILT20 saw some thrilling on-field action in Season 1, the two new Season 2 features are set to make the tournament even more interesting and engaging for both the spectators at the stadiums and viewers from around the world.”
