The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) started with a bang as fans have got to see close encounters, high scoring run-chases, outstanding catches and whatnot. Most of the teams have managed to found the perfect combination for them, but a few are still struggling. 

Moreover, some sides even have great players warming the bench, who have not played a single game in the tournament thus far. For instance IPL legends Ajinkya Rahane and Chris Gayle have failed to play even one game for Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab respectively. 

In this case, a brilliant concept of the mid-season transfer can further spice things up in the IPL.

What is the IPL 2020 mid-season transfer?

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) allows the franchises to internally trade uncapped as well as the capped players in the ongoing IPL edition. 

What are the rules and timings of IPL 2020 mid-season transfer?

The transfer will only be applicable at the half-way mark after all the eight franchises had played at least seven matches each.

A player is only eligible for mid-season transfer if he had not played more than two matches at that stage.
