## History

[edit]

The ISPL was inspired by a cricket talent hunt which took place in 2021 in the Dharavi slums, with the idea being to help poorer athletes have a chance to play professional cricket.[6]

Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar has been named as the Core Committee member of the tournament alongside BCCI treasurer Ashish Shelar and Amol Kale. Former Indian team head coach Ravi Shastri has been appointed as the chief mentor of the tournament.[7]

The first season had an overall viewership of 11 million, and 500,000 fans attending the matches.[8] The ISPL has announced plans to start a 6-team Middle East edition in the future.[9]

### Gameplay modifications

[edit]

The following rule modifications to the T10 format are in effect in ISPL matches:[14][15][16]

* Powerplay rules: There is a mandatory powerplay for the first two overs of each innings, and then the batting team may elect to take a one-over 'batting powerplay' between the third and ninth over. During the mandatory powerplay, only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle, while three fielders are allowed outside of the circle in the batting powerplay.
* Tip-Top Toss: Instead of a coin toss, the following procedure is used: initially, the two team captains stand opposite each other, and then walk in a straight line towards each other, with each step required to be from heel-to-toe. The team captain who is able to step on top of the other team captain's foot wins the toss.[17][18]
* 9 Street Runs: If the ball is struck out of the field and lands among the spectating audience, nine runs are scored rather than six.
* 50-50 Over: The bowling team's captain has to pick a minimum of five bowlers from his playing XI, any one of whom can be challenged by the batting team to bowl one '50-50 Over'.[14] In the 50-50 over, the batting team states the minimum number of runs they believe they will score in the next over; the number chosen must be at least 16. If the batting team successfully scores this minimum number of runs, 150% of the runs that they scored in the 50-50 Over will be added to their final match score. (e.g. scoring 18 runs in the over results in a total of 27 runs being added to the final score of the batting team as a result of the over.) However, if the batting team fails, only 50% of the runs scored during the 50-50 Over are added to their final match score.[19][18]
* Tape-Ball Over: While the majority of the match is played with a tennis ball, two overs in each innings have to be bowled with a tape ball.[18] However, a tape ball cannot be used for a 50-50 Over.
* Playing XI: All players are divided into one of five zones that they were sold from: North, South, East, West and Central. Every squad in the ISPL can have a maximum of 16 players, with the playing XI having to include one player from each of the North, South, East, West and Central zones, as well as at least one U-19 player.
* Substitutions: Each team can pick two substitutes during a match; an injured player can only be replaced by a player who went unsold from the same zone.

## Player auction

[edit]

96 players were selected out of a pool of 350 players.[20] A total of ₹4.91 crore (US$590,000) was spent on the players selected.[12][21]

### ISPL 2024 team spendings
