IPL라이브 바카라 Player Replacement Rule Explained

As per the BCCI guidelines, IPL teams can sign replacement players for unavailable members of the roster by picking players from the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP). The player can be signed for the entirety of the season – and his contract can be extended – for a fee which must not be greater than the player he is replacing.

The mid-season replacement of a player who has already played a match in that IPL season can only be done in the following situations:

The player in question was injured on or before the 12th match of the IPL season – extended from the Match 7 limit in IPL 2024 – and his season-ending injury must be confirmed by a doctor nominated by the BCCI.

The team must also show that the player in question would have been otherwise available without the injury. “...As a result of the injury or illness the player would miss the remaining league matches in that season,” the BCCI guidelines read.

In such instances, the teams can sign a replacement player from the RAPP list – including those who are currently acting as net bowlers for other teams – at their base prices not exceeding the salary cap of the injured player.

The replaced player라이브 바카라 salary will not count towards the team라이브 바카라 salary cap for the present IPL season, but if the team chooses to extend his contract, he will be counted among the other players from the next season onwards.
