Delhi: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved two important changes in male cricket. The new system has been implemented in the protocol in the protocol, amending the rule of using two balls in ODIs and conversion in all formats. The new rules will be applicable in Test cricket from June 17, from July 2 in ODIs and from July 10 in T20.
New rule of two balls in ODI cricket
Till now, two new balls were used in an innings in men’s ODIs – one ball from every end. According to the new rule, two new balls will be used by the first 34 overs of the innings. After this, one of the two balls will be selected for bowling from the 35th over to the 50th over and from that both will be bowled from both ends.
According to the ICC, the purpose of this change is to establish a balance between the batsman and the bowler. If the ODI match is reduced to 25 overs or less before the first innings starts, the bowling team will have only a new ball to use for the entire innings.
New system in conversion subsidy rules
From now on, every team will have to nominate five substitute players before the match starts –
- -A wicketkeeper
- -A batsman
- -A fast bowler
- -A spin bowler
- -A all -rounder
The purpose of this change is to avoid any kind of controversy about the players at the time of exchange of their role. In January this year, India fielded bowling all -rounder Harshit Rana in place of batting all -rounder Shivam Dubey in the fourth T20 against England, who took 3 wickets for 33 runs. However, there was a lot of debate about this change. After the new rule, such disputes will be avoided.
If the substitute player also suffers head injury and has to be changed, then the match referee can approve someone else out of the five players named under the existing ‘as the player as option’.
