    'Power Surge, X-factor', Cricket Australia unveils new rules in BBL
  • Cricket Australia (CA), on Monday, introduced three new rules that will be implemented in the upcoming edition of Big Bash League (BBL).

    'Power Surge', 'X-Factor Player', and 'Bash Boost' have been announced as the new rules, which will further give an edge to the batting side.

    Notably, the impending BBL season is set to begin on December 10.

    Here are further details.

  • Power Surge

    Teams can call for Power Surge from the 11th over

  • The 'Power Surge' is a two-over period, during which the fielding team is allowed to place only two players outside the 30-yard circle.

    Interestingly, the batting side can call for this at any point from the 11th over of their innings.

    Meanwhile, the Powerplay, where mandatory fielding restrictions are in place, has been shortened to four overs (0-4).

  • Information

    The X-factor player can join the team after 10th over

  • An 'X-factor Player' can join in as either the 12th or 13th player on the team sheet. He could be called beyond the 10th over of the first innings, and replace any player who is yet to bat or has bowled no more than one over.

  • Bash Boost

    What is Bash Boost?

    What is Bash Boost?
  • The 'Bash Boost' is a bonus point awarded halfway through the second innings.

    Notably, the team chasing will receive the bonus point if they are above the 10-over score of their opposition. If they are trailing, the fielding side will receive the point.

    Moreover, teams will also now be awarded three points for winning the match, instead of the traditional two.
