On the eve of the IPL Auction for 2023 season, BCCI announced that a new "Impact Player" rule will be enforced this IPL. We break down the rules, look how powerful it is, how teams can use it, and who are some prime contenders for each team to be called an "Impact Player" .

Then we switch gears and discuss the World Test Championship table. We look at some of the scenarios, both theoretical and practical which could happen to decide the finalist of the WTC final in 2023.  

IPL is not the only T20 league which is changing the rules, the recently launched SAT20 also tweaked a few rules. Some good, some not so good. We discuss.  

From a new T20 league to an old vanguard which is not doing so well. We look into the scheduling, the financials and other issues that the Big Bash League and Cricket Australia are facing as its popularity suffer year on year.
