ICC announces new cricket rules as playing conditions change across formats

The International Cricket Council announced new rules for playing conditions across the Test, ODI and T20I formats. These changes range from ball usage to concussion replacements, and were recommended by the ICC Men's Cricket Committee, headed by Sourav Ganguly. The new playing conditions commenced with the first match of the new World Test Championship on June 17, played between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh The new playing conditions for ODIs and T20Is will commence during the same Sri Lanka against Bangladesh series, with the first of three ODIs from July 2, and a three-match T20I series from July 10. Here are a list of the changes that have been introduced: Stop clock After a successful introduction in white-ball cricket, Test cricket will also see a stop clock. This means after 1 over is completed, the bowling team needs to be ready to bowl the first ball of their next over within 60 seconds. Failure to do so for the third time in an innings (following two warnings) will result in a five-run penalty imposed against the fielding team on each occasion. Two warning sanctions will be reset to zero after 80 overs have passed, in line with a new ball becoming available, and again after any future blocks of 80 overs in that innings. Number of balls per ODI innings Two new balls will be used for the first 34 overs of an ODI innings. After this, the fielding team will choose one of the balls for the remaining overs. Boundary catches A fielder who makes airborne contact with the ball beyond the boundary must then land and remain inside the boundary. A fielder, after making their first contact with the ball subsequently leaves the field of play, can only make contact with the ball once more while airborne beyond the boundary. Having done so, they must land and remain wholly within the boundary. This applies even if another player completes the fielding. This change will be implemented in international cricket before it is included in the MCC Laws of Cricket next year. Deliberate short runs Adding to the present five-run penalty for a deliberate short run, the fielding team will also choose which of the two batters takes strike for the next delivery. DRS wicket zone The wicket zone will now be the actual outline of the stumps and bails. Concussion protocols Teams will now be required to nominate their designated concussion replacements for the match. This curbs the advantage previously held by home teams, who have typically been able to choose from a larger pool of potential replacements. A player diagnosed with a concussion during a match must observe a minimum stand-down period of a minimum of seven days before returning to play. This change has been recommended by the ICC Medical Advisory Committee to support players' safety and well-being. Further changes to be trialled In addition to these changes, additional ones will be implemented from October 2025 for an initial 6-month period. Replacement players (domestic first-class cricket) A player who suffers a serious injury on the field of play at any time after the match has started (including any pre-match warm-up period) may be replaced for the remainder of the match by a fully participating like-for-like player. Wide Ball Trial (ODI and T20I cricket) The position of the batter's legs at the point of delivery will now be used as the reference point for a wide, even if the batter subsequently moves across to the off side. A ball that passes the popping crease between the leg stump and the protected area marker will not be called a wide. To help with this, the protected area marker line will be extended to the popping crease and act as a guide for the umpires. Any leg side delivery that passes behind the batter's legs and outside of the line at the time the ball reaches the popping crease may still be called a wide. Previously, a wide had been called for a delivery that would not have been called wide if the batter had retained their normal batting position.

Seales fined for breaching ICC Code of Conduct

Fast bowler Jayden Seales of the West Indies has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the opening day of the first match of their ICC World Test Championship series against Australia in Bridgetown on Wednesday. Seales was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ' using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.' In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Seales, for whom it was the second offence in a 24-month period, taking his tally of demerit points in a 24-month period to two. Seales received his earlier demerit point during a Test match against Bangladesh in Kingston, Jamaica, on 3 December 2024. The incident occurred in the 55th over of Australia's innings, when Seales, after dismissing captain Pat Cummins, gestured in the direction of the pavilion. Seales admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Javagal Srinath of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite levelled the charge. Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points. NOTES TO EDITORS: * When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned ** Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player *** Demerit Points to remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel's disciplinary record for a period of twenty-four (24) months from their imposition following which they will be expunged

UAE: Two drivers from Bangladesh, India win Dh150,000 each at Big Ticket Weekly e-Draw

Two expats, one from Bangladesh and another from India, have won a whopping Dh150,000 each in the third weekly Big Ticket e-draw of June. Naushadh Chathery, a 37-year-old house driver from Kerala has been living in Dubai for the past 15 years, while his family remains in his hometown. He first heard about Big Ticket 20 years ago and has been purchasing tickets ever since, sometimes on his own, and other times with a group of 10 friends. For this draw, he opted for the 'Buy 2, Get 4 Free' bundle with his friends, and it was one of the free tickets that led to their win. 'I am truly happy. Even though it's a small win, it has given me hope to keep trying. We plan to split the cash prize among our group, and I'll be saving my share. My aim now is to win the grand prize, so I'll continue buying tickets," he said. Mohammed Chowdhury, a 41-year-old house driver and small business owner from Bangladesh has been living in Abu Dhabi for the past 20 years. He first heard about Big Ticket 10–12 years ago through friends and has been participating with them every month since. For this draw, he purchased the 'Buy 2, Get 4 Free' ticket bundle with his group, and it was one of the free tickets that secured their win. 'I couldn't believe it, I'm so happy. It's an unexplainable feeling. Right now, the plan is to split the cash prize among my 10 friends, and then I'll decide what to do with my share. My eyes are now on the grand prize, so I'll definitely keep trying my luck. Big Ticket is really helping people's dreams come true, and I encourage my friends and everyone else to take part," Chowdhury said. This month, three weekly e-draws have already been conducted, and only one more remains before the grand finale. All eyes are on the Dh25 million grand prize, which will be awarded during the live draw on July 3. In the final weekly e-draw of June, three lucky participants will each win Dh150,000.
