Impact Substitute Player

Fan Engagement

Fans vote in real-time to decide which corporate player bats next or bowls when an Impact player is introduced. The decision is binding and adds unpredictability. This will require a new fan engagement app that can be used for selling branded merchandise and pre/post game engagement including access to cricket grounds.
