Sammy fined for breaching ICC Code of Conduct
West Indies coach Daren Sammy has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct on the second day of the first match of their ICC World Test Championship series against Australia in Bridgetown on Thursday. Sammy was found to have breached Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an International Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match Official or team participating in any International Match, irrespective of when such criticism or inappropriate comment is made.' In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Sammy's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period. Sammy was penalized for criticising one of the umpires during the press conference at the end of the second day's play. The criticism of the umpire related to several incidents that occurred throughout the match. Sammy 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

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.
