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.

  1. Use of saliva to polish the ball

  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

Nuwan Thushara Moves Court Over IPL 2026 NOC Dispute

Published

By

Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has initiated legal action against Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), seeking court intervention to secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC) that would allow him to participate in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL).

The matter was taken up before the Colombo District Court, which has scheduled the next hearing for April 9. Thushara has named several top SLC officials as defendants, including President Shammi Silva, Secretary Bandula Dissanayake, Treasurer Sujeewa Godaliyadda, and CEO Ashley de Silva.

According to court filings, Thushara was picked by Royal Challengers for the 2026 IPL season, having previously featured in the tournament in both 2024 and 2025 after receiving the necessary clearance from SLC. However, the board has declined to issue the NOC this year, citing his failure to meet required fitness standards.

Thushara, in his petition, has challenged this decision, stating that his contract with SLC expired on March 31, 2026, and that he had already informed the board of his intention not to renew it. He further claims he had been made aware that he was not in contention for national selection, making the fitness-based refusal unreasonable.

The pacer has also argued that his current fitness levels are consistent with those maintained during previous seasons when he was granted NOCs. He warns that the denial could cost him his IPL contract, resulting in significant financial loss and missed career opportunities.
Through the case, Thushara is seeking legal recognition of his right to obtain the NOC, along with court orders compelling SLC to grant him clearance to play in the IPL and other overseas leagues.
