The increase in the number of referrals (DRS) from one to two per innings, Covid-19 allowances and Super Over rules, among others are the major changes to the playing conditions, which will be seen during the upcoming IPL 2022, starting March 26. Covid-19 might be perceived as a lesser threat around India at the moment than it was even a few months ago, but there will be alteration to the rule about the inability to field a XI because of any kind of virus situation in a team during the IPL. The BCCI has said the matter will be referred to the technical committee if rescheduling the game is not possible.
"Unable to field a team on account of Covid for any match due to having less than 12 players available in the playing XI (of which at least 7 must be Indian) plus 1 substitute fielder. The BCCI, at its discretion, will attempt to reschedule the match for later in the season. If this is not possible, the issue will be referred to the IPL Technical Committee. The decision of the IPL Technical Committee will be final and binding," said a BCCI communique. This is a change from the previous rule which said that the board "will attempt to reschedule the match for later in the season. If this is not possible, the franchise will be deemed to have lost the match with its opponent being awarded 2 points."
