IPL 2025 new replacement rules: IPL 2025 was suspended for a week due to tension between India and Pakistan. Now finally the tournament is going to start again from May 17, which has caused upheaval in all the teams before. In fact, when IPL 2025 was suspended for a week, most of the foreign players returned to their respective countries. Seeing the international cricket schedule, some players will return to India to play IPL and some will not come. In such a situation, some new rules of replacement have been made in the tournament.

New rule of replacement in IPL 2025

Many players will be unavailable after the start of IPL 2025. There will also be some players who will be able to play compared to the league stage, but will miss the playoffs. In such a situation, the new rule says that the players who were brought as a replacement in the middle of the season, the team cannot retain them next season.

At the same time, the replacements that BCCI had approved before the IPL 2025 is suspended can be retained for the next season. This means that the players who come as a replacement after the suspension will have to knock the door of the next season.

Who will come back, who is not?

The IPL 2025 tournament will start again from 17 May. Before that, the biggest question is which foreign players will return to India and which are not? Jose Butler can miss the playoff matches due to the series against the West Indies, while his fellow player in Gujarat Titans Kagiso Rabada may stay out of the rest of the matches due to the WTC final. In view of the World Test Championship, Josh Hazlewood’s presence is under question, but it is being speculated that Pat Cummins and Travis Head can play the rest of the matches of IPL 2025.

Big names like Marco Jansen, Will Jacks and Mitchell Starc are also under suspicion. Aden Markram, one of the main players of Lucknow Super Giants, may also be unavailable for other matches.

Bcci bat size rule in ipl 2025: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made new rules for IPL 2025. Under the new rules, the width of the bat should not be 10.79 cm, the bat thickness 6.7 cm and the length of the bat should not exceed 96.4 cm. Balls have been investigated in the Indian Premier League earlier, similarly in IPL 2025, the batter’s bat is being investigated continuously. Now a case related to the Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match has come to light, in which Sunil Narine and Enrique Nortze were caught openly dishonestly.

In the match played last Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders had to score 112 runs to win Punjab Kings. Before the start of KKR’s innings, the length of the batter Sunil Naren’s bat was found to be more than the fixed limit. Sunil Naren’s bat was examined by Reserve Umpire Syed Khalid. This all -rounder of the West Indies was standing with Angkrish Raghuvanshi, on one side the bat of Naren did not pass in the test, while Raghuvanshi got a clean chit.

Sunil Naren was asked to change his bat before the start of the innings. The good thing for Punjab was that Naren was dismissed for only 5 runs. On the other hand, the Enrique Norteze of Kolkata was also caught with a big bat from the limited limit. The KKR team lost 9 wickets on a score of 95, so Nortze came to bat in the 16th over, they were also asked to replace the bat.
