Ahead of the 10th edition of Australia's Big Bash League (BBL), the tournament has introduced three new rules - Power Surge, X-factor Player and Bash Boost - for the event starting from December 10. The raft of changes are designed to "blow up" what he considers the regular patterns of a T20 contest, league's consultant Trent Woodhill said. Power Surge: The Power Surge will consist of a two-over period during which the fielding team is allowed only two players outside the inner fielding circle. X-factor Player: An X-factor Player is named as either the 12th or 13th player on the team sheet. Bash Boost: The Bash Boost rule will be a bonus point awarded halfway through the second innings.
