ICC’s New Cricket Rules That’ll Come Into Play From October
Friday, September 8, 2017 IST
Cricket has changed over the years. From 60 overs to T20s, from caps to helmets, from trousers to track pants. There was a time when there was no third umpire and now, the on-field umpires go upstairs for the smallest of things.
So naturally, as the game has evolved, the rules need to change too. Rules that are implemented to make the game as fair as possible. After a meeting earlier this year, the ICC agreed to make changes to some rules and all members agreed to adhere to those changes.
So as of October 1st, 2017, new cricket rules will be in effect and here's all you need to know about those changes.
1. The new run-out rule
Countless times we have seen that once the bat is inside the crease, it can suddenly pop up in the air. And if the bails are dislodged just then, the batsman is ruled out. Well, not anymore.
According to the new rule, once the bat has touched the ground beyond the crease, it means the batsman is in. Even if the bat somehow pops back up beyond the line and the stumps light up, it won't matter. The batsman will be ruled to have made his ground and therefore, not out.
2. The red card
Just like football, this new rule gives the umpires the authority to send players off for serious misconduct/violence on the field. This will ensure that the gentleman's game, is played like it is supposed to be.
Other issues of misconduct will be dealt according to the already established ICC rules.
