US EditionICC Makes Key Changes to Two-Ball Rule in ODIs and Use of Concussion Substitutes in Matches: Reports
- The International Cricket Council has sanctioned updates to the playing conditions for men's international cricket, which will be implemented starting June 17 for Test matches, followed by July 2 for One Day Internationals and July 10 for Twenty20 Internationals.
- These changes respond to concerns about game balance and concussion substitute controversies, including India’s use of a bowling allrounder as a concussion sub earlier this year.
- ODI matches will now use two new balls until the 34th over, then only one chosen ball from the 35th to 50th over, while concussion substitute protocols require teams to name five substitutes by role before Tests.
- The ICC explained that the change is designed to restore fairness between batting and bowling and to guarantee that concussion substitutes are genuinely like-for-like, while the MCC has updated rules to prohibit 'bunny hop' catches beyond the boundary line.
- These updates intend to reduce ambiguity in substitutions and improve fairness across formats, suggesting a tighter regulation on player replacements and match conditions going forward.
