The three main format of cricket, Tests, ODIs and T20s are different from each other and their strategies, time limits and sports style are also different. But great performance in these formats often opens new opportunities for players. If a player shows the best game in ODIs, then the chances of selection in his Test team increases. Often, the question arises in the minds of cricket fans that after winning how much a team gets a chance to play a Test match after winning.

Many people feel that it depends on the victory-defeat or performance of a team, but the reality is slightly different from it. Let us know what are the rules of ICC for this.

What does ICC rule say?

According to the rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the right to play Test cricket is given only to the full member countries. That is, the Test status is determined not by winning the match of a team but on their cricket structure, facilities and standards. Test cricket is known as the oldest and prestigious format in the world. In these five -day matches, there is a real test of players’ technology, fitness and mental strength.

But not every team gets this opportunity. For this, two levels have been created in the membership system of the ICC, full member and Associate Member. Only full members can play Test matches, while Associate member countries allow ODI or T20 International matches.

Which criteria sees ICC

The ICC sees many criteria to give Test status to a team. It first includes the domestic cricket structure of that country, quality of stadiums, economic status of the cricket board, number of players and demonstrations, government support and local development of cricket at the local level. If a country proves to be strong on all these aspects, then it is approved to play the test.

What was the tradition earlier

According to the reports, it was a tradition earlier that a team had to defeat at least five Test playing countries, but this rule never officially implemented. This was just an informal belief to decide whether the team is worth playing or not. In fact, countries like Afghanistan and Ireland were given Test status in 2018, while they had won a few winning in limited overs cricket to that time.

That is, overall it can be said that a country gets the opportunity to play a Test match, not by the count of victory but on the foundation of cricket. When a team prepares itself at every level, then it is allowed to land on the biggest stage of cricket.

Wide ball rules in cricket: Test cricket and white ball format vary the rules regarding wide balls. On the one hand, the rules regarding the wide ball in the white ball format are very strict, because every ball in this format makes a difference. At the same time, in Test cricket, a little strictness is taken on the wide ball. Because the balls here do not make much difference. Now the question is, how many wide balls can a bowler put in an over? Know the answer here.

White ball cricket is about 89 centimeters from wide line stumps and a return crease at some distance. But in Test matches, there is no white line on the pitch for wide balls, there is only a white line with returns. Let us know that in a Test match, the wide is given only when the ball is far away from the batsman’s reach. At the same time, wide ball becomes very important in ODI and T20. Because every ball and every run in this format has a lot of impact on the results of the match.

How much wide can bowlers can put in an over?

According to the rules, there is no limit to how much wide ball the bowler can put in one over. That is, if the bowler throws a wide ball again and again, every time the wide will be counted and the over will not be complete until six right balls are thrown.

For example, if a bowler throws 10 consecutive wide balls, the umpire will give a run every time and the bowler will have to do the bowler again. Until he throws 6 balls, the over will not end.

Can an umpire take action by repeated throwing wide?

Let us know that if a bowler is deliberately putting wide balls continuously, especially on the leg side, then the umpire first warns that player. At the same time, even after the warning, the bowler is repeatedly putting wide balls, so the umpire can also remove that bowler from bowling.
