The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is off to a flier. While a couple of teams have found their combinations right, some others are yet to hit the strides. They will be eyeing the mid-season transfer to acquire some quality cricketers to strengthen the squad for the second half of IPL 2020.
The special feature has been introduced by BCCI which will change a lot of dynamics in the tournament. The franchises will do a lot of homework and solve the loopholes in the mid-season transfer before IPL 2020 moves ahead to the business end.
What is mid-season transfer?
BCCI has introduced an innovative idea of the mid-season transfer last season when they allowed franchises to internally trade uncapped players. However, no team used their right. This season the apex body has expanded and the capped player will also be a part of mid-season transfers.
