Too early to have Impact Player rule in SA20: Graeme Smith

Chennai, Sep 09: SA20 League Commissioner and former South Africa captain Graeme Smith says the event is open to experimenting new things like the IPL's Impact Player rule but for now, he is focussed on keeping it simple for the fans.

The much talked-about Impact Player rule, which allows teams to replace a player of choice at any point in the game, was introduced in the IPL in its gone-by season and had opinions divided on whether it was eroding the role of an all-rounder with teams opting for big-hitters on most occasions.

Smith said SA20 intends to stick to simple and traditional cricket for now.
