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.
