Changes in ICC Playing Rules

Published

on

The ICC has announced a few changes to the playing conditions that will come into effect from October 1, 2022.

  1. Player transfer when the ball is caught

Even if a batsman crosses the batsman before taking the catch, the new batsman must eventually come into bat.

Earlier, if the batsmen crossed before taking a catch, the not-out player would bat and the new batsman would stand at the other end.

  1. Use of saliva to polish the ball

As a temporary measure related to Covid, this ban has been in force in international cricket for more than two years and it is considered appropriate to make the ban permanent. During the ban on the use of saliva, players resorted to using sweat to polish the ball, which proved effective.

  1. Timing of arrival of new batsman to bat

While a batsman is required to prepare to bat within two minutes in Tests and ODIs, the current 90-second limit remains unchanged in T20Is.

  1. Unfair movements by the fielding side

Any unreasonable and deliberate movement of the bowler while running to bowl can now result in the umpire awarding five penalty runs to the batting team in addition to a dead ball call.

  1. Other Major Decisions

In-match penalty, introduced in T20I matches in January 2022 (which forces a fielding team to bring an extra keeper into the bowling circle for the remainder of the innings for failure to bowl their overs at the stipulated interval), ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2023 This rule will also be adopted for ODIs after the Super League ends.

මීට පෙර, උඩපන්දුවක් ලබා ගැනීමට පෙර පිතිකරුවන් හරස් කළහොත්, දැවී නොගිය ක්‍රීඩකයා පන්දුවට පහර දෙනු ඇති අතර නව පිතිකරුවා අනෙක් අන්තයේ රැදී සිටී.

  1. පන්දුව ඔප දැමීම සඳහා කෙල භාවිතය

කොවිඩ් ආශ්‍රිත තාවකාලික පියවරක් ලෙස මෙම තහනම වසර දෙකකට වැඩි කාලයක් ජාත්‍යන්තර ක්‍රිකට් ක්‍රීඩාවේ ක්‍රියාත්මක වන අතර එම තහනම ස්ථිර කිරීම සුදුසු යැයි සැලකේ. කෙල භාවිතය තහනම අතරතුර, ක්‍රීඩකයින් පන්දුව ඔප දැමීමට දහඩිය භාවිතා කිරීමට යොමු වූ අතර එය ඵලදායී බව ඔප්පු වී ඇත.

  1. පන්දුවට පහර දීමට නව පිතිකරු පැමිණීමේ කාලය

පිතිකරුවෙකු ටෙස්ට් සහ එක්දින තරඟවලදී මිනිත්තු දෙකක් ඇතුළත පහර දීමට සූදානම් වීම අවශ්‍ය වන අතර, T20Is හි දැනට පවතින තත්පර 90 සීමාව නොවෙනස්ව පවතී.

  1. පන්දු රැකීමේ පාර්ශ්වයෙන් අසාධාරණ චලනයන්

  1. අනෙකුත් ප්‍රධාන තීරණ

AIFF Faces FIFA, AFC Ban Threat as October 30 Deadline Looms

Published

on

By

Indian football is staring at yet another international suspension as FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have jointly warned the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to ratify its long-pending constitution by October 30, 2025, or risk a complete ban from world football.

In a strongly-worded two-page letter sent on Tuesday (August 26) to AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey, FIFA and AFC expressed “profound concern” over the failure to finalise and implement a revised constitution, a matter pending before India’s Supreme Court since 2017.

If suspended, India’s national teams and clubs would be barred from all international competitions, while the country’s ambitious 2036 Olympic Games bid in Ahmedabad could also be thrown into uncertainty.

FIFA & AFC Ultimatum

The letter, signed by FIFA’s Chief Member Associations Officer Elkhan Mammadov and AFC Deputy General Secretary Vahid Kardany, set out three urgent requirements for the AIFF:

1. Obtain a definitive Supreme Court order approving the revised constitution.

2. Ensure full compliance with FIFA and AFC statutes.

3. Formally ratify the constitution at the next AIFF General Meeting.

Failure to comply, they warned, would trigger sanctions, including full suspension of AIFF membership.

Previous Suspension in 2022

This is not the first governance crisis to hit Indian football. In August 2022, FIFA suspended the AIFF for “third-party interference” after a court-appointed Committee of Administrators temporarily ran the federation. That ban lasted just two weeks, lifted only after fresh elections were held in which Kalyan Chaubey defeated football legend Bhaichung Bhutia.

Domestic Fallout – ISL in Crisis

The deadlock has already disrupted Indian football at the domestic level. The Indian Super League (ISL), India’s top-tier professional league, has been put “on hold” by Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), the AIFF’s commercial partner, due to uncertainty over its Master Rights Agreement, which expires in December 2025.

At least three clubs have suspended operations or delayed salaries, while all 11 ISL clubs have warned of an “existential crisis.” Reports from FIFPRO further highlight cases of players’ contracts being terminated, leaving livelihoods at risk.

The Supreme Court of India will hear the matter again on August 28, a session that could determine the immediate future of the ISL and India’s football calendar.

What’s at Stake

If AIFF fails to meet the October deadline, India could lose:

• Participation in FIFA and AFC tournaments.

• Entry rights for national teams and clubs in international competitions.

• Momentum in its 2036 Olympics bid.

• Credibility with players, fans, and commercial partners.

For now, the football fraternity in India waits anxiously for the Supreme Court’s verdict and AIFF’s ability to steer through yet another governance storm

Exclusive: AFC Fines Sri Lankan Footballer Over “Free Palestine” Message

Published

on

By

Colombo – June 13
Sri Lankan national footballer Mohamed Thilham, who recently made headlines after displaying a “PRAY FOR FREE PALESTINE” message on his undershirt during post-match celebrations, has now been officially penalized by international football authorities.

Following Sri Lanka’s 3-1 victory over Chinese Taipei in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers on June 10 at the Colombo Racecourse Stadium, Thilham—a non-playing substitute—unveiled the message, drawing both praise and criticism from various quarters.

⚠️ AFC Sanctions Player with USD 2,000 Fine

FIFA, in coordination with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), has now issued a formal disciplinary notice to the player, imposing a USD 2,000 fine. This letter, according to sources within the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL), was sent addressing to Thilham, underscoring AFC stance on politically charged expressions at official matches.

According to FIFA’s Disciplinary Code, players are prohibited from displaying political, religious, or personal slogans during matches or official ceremonies. While Thilham’s gesture occurred after the final whistle, FIFA and AFC treat any action within the stadium environment as part of official conduct.

⚽ FFSL Under Scrutiny for Disciplinary Action

FFSL President Jaswar Umar previously stated that the act “was not authorized by the federation” and “violates international football disciplinary norms.” He also confirmed that the FFSL would take internal disciplinary action against the player.

However, this incident has reignited public debate over the role of athletes in social advocacy and the limits imposed by international sports law. While some supporters see Thilham’s actions as courageous and morally driven, others have raised concerns about the player’s career stability and future opportunities under increasing scrutiny.

📝 Editorial Insight

At Sri Lankan Sports TV, we initially chose to withhold the content of the message in our match coverage—out of responsibility to the player’s career and to respect global sports protocol. However, the message went viral after several social media users circulated the full image, seemingly with the intention of sparking controversy.

The resulting spotlight has unfortunately led to a formal penalty, underscoring the real-world consequences that athletes may face when international regulations intersect with personal conviction.
