ICC New Cricket Rules: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has made a big change in the rules of the game. The ICC has changed the rules ranging from playing XI to the use of balls in the overs of the match. According to the report published in Cricbuzz, these new rules in Test cricket will be implemented since this World Test Championship (WTC) final.

Big change in cricket rules

The ICC has made a big change in ODI cricket. In the ODI match, two new balls are used for a full 50 overs from both sides. But after the changes in the rules, both the balls will be used for the first 34 overs in an innings, but after 34 overs, the bowling team will have to select only one ball and the second ball will be reserved.

ODI matches are used for 25 overs or less due to rain or any other reason due to any obstruction, then only one ball will be used in an innings. Rules will also be changed regarding the Decision Review System (DRS), but information about it has not been revealed yet.

5 backup players will be available in the match

On the other hand, if the player replaced between the match is also injured, then the umpire will have the right to give any new option.

World Test Championship final

The final of the World Test Championship will run from 11 June to 15 June. This match will be played between South Africa and Australia. New ICC rules will not be applicable in this match. New rules can be implemented only after WTC Final in Test matches.
