ICC New Cricket Rule: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has made some changes in the rules of cricket. The ICC Men Cricket Committee had recommended to change these rules. It has got the green signal from the ICC. These changes will be applicable from June 17.

In the recent T20 series between India and England, there was a lot of controversy on the Constitute Substitute Rules. This rule has been amended. Also, the use of two balls in ODIs has also been changed now.

Now before the match starts, both teams will have to hand over the list of five players each for the conversion substitute. Also, the replacement should be exactly like a play player. If a fast bowler is out due to conversion, then only a fast bowler will come in his place.

There was a dispute in India-England T20 series

During the T20 series between India and England, Harshit Rana was fielded as Shivam Dubey’s Concisition Substitute. After the defeat in this match, the England captain questioned this rule. Shivam is an all-rounder, he bowls at a moderate pace along with batting, but Harshit Rana was replaced, who is primarily a bowler. Harshit Rana took 3 wickets and won the match to India. Then it was said that India benefited from this rule.

Changes in two balls of ODIs also

Currently, a new ball is used from both sides in ODI International. But now this rule has been changed. Now two balls will be used from the first over to 34 overs. Then from the remaining overs, the team will have to choose one of the two balls, and the rest of the over will be thrown from that selected ball again. If the match is 25 or less due to rain, then the match will be with one ball.
