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