DRS gets green signal for BBL & WBBL from next season, X-factor scrapped

In the latest developments in Big Bash League, the Decision Review System (DRS) has received a green signal and will be implementeꦿd from the upcom🌺ing 2022-23 season of BBL and WBBL.

Big Bash League’s boss Alistair Dobson said, “The league is delighted to introduce DRS … in line 𝐆with the very best cricket competitions in the world. Implementing DRS has been a challenging task for the BBL, which is the most logistically complex T20 league in the wo🌼rld.”

Along with the introduction of DRS, the league has also scrapped the X-Factor and Bash Boost rules. In the X-factor, the captain has to name 2 players other than the playing 11 and after the 10t﷽h over, each team can swap one player from the 2 X-factor players.

Another big rule to be implemented in✅ the upcoming BBL season is that each team will get 79 minutes to complete 20 overs. In case any team fails to reach the time limit, only 4 players will be allowed to be placed outside the 30-yard circle, instead of 5, for the remainder of the innings.
