Web Desk (LTN NEWS): ICC has introduced seven more new rules while making changes to the rules of the game of world cricket.
According to a statement released on the ICC website, the new and amended rules have been introduced and will come into effect from October 1. Under the new rules, after being caught out, a non-striker player i.e. a batter standing on the bowler’s side will not be able to cross.
After being caught out, the new player will take the place of the dismissed player, and the non-striker cannot cross and play. According to the statement, during Corona, ICC stopped bowlers and fielders from spitting on the ball, however, maintaining this ban, no bowler or fielder will be able to spit on the ball.
The arrival time of the new batsman has also been reduced to two minutes, so in Tests, in ODIs, the new player has to arrive at the crease within two minutes, in T20 the duration will be 90 seconds. If the new batter is late beyond the stipulated time, the captain of the fielding team is authorized to dismiss him under the ‘Time Out’ rule.

Under the new law, any batsman must remain on the pitch while playing the shot and if the bowler’s ball falls off the pitch, the batsman or part of his body must be on the pitch. If the batter goes outside the pitch and plays the shot, it will be declared a dead ball and the ball falling outside the pitch will be declared a no ball
A Run-out by a bowler to a non-striker i.e. a batter standing on the bowling side will be considered a regular run-out.
Earlier this rule was called ‘minked’ but the ICC has changed it to the term normal run-out. If the bowler throws the ball towards the batsman coming out of the crease before delivering the ball, it is called a dead ball.
The law to reduce the number of fielders outside the circle at a slower over rate in T20 cricket will also be implemented in ODI cricket after the completion of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League 2023. The law is already in force in the T20 format
