“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.”

IPL 2022 Rule Change – IPL Rule Change No-2: In another change, the BCCI have also increased the number of DRS referrals. Now the teams will be able to use 2 referrals per innings instead of 1.
Furthermore, in a rule recently endorsed by the MCC, a new batsman will strike after a dismissal even if the batsmen have crossed during a catch.
“Upon a catch dismissal, irrespective of whether the batsmen have crossed or not the incoming batsman will take the strike, except if it’s the last ball of the over,” the BCCI informed the teams.
The BCCI also suggested said that in case of a Super Over to break a tie in the playoffs final is not possible, then the team that has finished higher in the league will be declared winners.
“If conditions do not permit a Super Over, or subsequent Super Overs within the time available to determine the winner as described, then the team which, at the end of the relevant regular season, finished in the higher position in the league table will be deemed the winner of the relevant play-off match,” the rules state.
The IPL 2022 will take place in Mumbai and Pune and the playing conditions have stated that the BCCI has the discretion to conduct the play-offs at any other venue.
The playoffs are likely to be conducted at another venue, with Ahmedabad and Kolkata as potential options.
