Happy Birthday To Current Indian Coach as well. Iconic player of 2007 and 2011 WC wins. Without him, it would have been impossible.
 
The SMAT decision was confirmed to the state association by the BCCI through a communication on Monday evening. The Syed Mushtaq Ali starts across the country on November 23. It will run till December 15. In a short communication, the BCCI has said, "Kindly note that the BCCI has decided to do away with the provision of 'Impact Player' for the ongoing season."

The Impact Player rule was introduced in the SMAT on an experimental basis a couple of seasons ago, subsequently and expectedly adopted in the IPL as well. While it added excitement for broadcasters, turning the league into a massive visual spectacle with high totals posted and chased, it did not exactly resonate as well with the players. Many captains and coaches felt the rule was not in the best interest of the competition. Additionally, it hindered the development of all-rounders, as teams began preferring specialist batters and bowlers over all-round players.
