This year, the T20 introduced two new concepts — the Decision Review System (DRS) and the mid-season transfer window. While the DRS has received good response from teams, the football-style transfer window found no takers. The transfer window started from April 30 and ended on the afternoon of May 11. Under the rules laid down by the T20 Governing Council, only uncapped players, who have played a maximum of two matches at the halfway stage of the tournament, would be eligible for the mid-season trading. The loaning of players could take place only if the concerned franchise responds positively.
