The BCCI will also have an All Stars game between top international players before the start of IPL for a charitable cause.

This year's IPL will also see the introduction of concussion substitutes, a rule that has been the focus of several debates since its inception in Test cricket last year.

With the T20 World Cup scheduled for October, the IPL will be a great chance for players to make their case for national selection.

The auction ahead of this year's edition of the IPL, which was held in December 2019, saw 62 players finding new teams.
