ICC is going to change some rules from 1 October. This blog is about the new changes made by ICC.
1.RUN OUT RULE:
Earlier the rule stated that if the batsman had his bat in air(even after crossing the line) at any point of time at the time bails are clearly dislodged from the wickets then he would be considered out.
But according to new rules if he gets his bat on ground at before the bails get dislodged he would be considered not out.
2.The DRS rule
Earlier each team could get only two reviews per innings. Every inncorrect review would result in termination of the review.
But according to the new rules if during a review the third umpire has to stick to field umpire's call in case the bowl hits the wickets partially. Then the review would remain. Also after 80 overs no additional review would be given to the team.
3.Thickness of bat
Earlier there was no limitation for the thickness of the edges.
But now the maximum thickness of the bat can be 67mm. Although there is no change in the length of the bat.
4.Red card
Now the umpire can send out a player by giving him a red card. Although there are no yellow or green card. A red card can be given only if a player commits a level four offense i. e if a player threatens or hurts a player physically.
5. Catch Rule
Earlier we used to see some acrobatic catches on the boundary line.
But now according to the new rule the last impact on the ground would be considered for the catch i. e if the player takes the catch and goes out of the boundary line with or without the ball the catch would be considered invalid and the batsman will not be considered out.
6.The helmet rule
Earlier if catch was taken after striking the helmet it would be an invalid catch.
But now it would be considered a valid catch.
