The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all set to implement the stop clock rule which has been under trial since December 2023 in white-ball cricket to stop unnecessary time wasting. ICC, the apex body of cricket is currently experimenting with the&nbsp;60-second stop-clock rule similar to tennis, where the fielding team needs to restart play immediately after the end of each over. According to sources, the rule will be implemented in both T20Is and ODIs and its implementation could be seen during the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA.

<h2>ICC to implement stop clock rule</h2>

Similar to tennis, where 30 seconds are given for the serving player to restart play, the ICC is also aiming to reduce time wastage&nbsp;during cricket matches, especially in white-ball cricket. The rule will see the fielding side given 60 seconds to change ends after the end of the over but will be monitored by the on-field umpire and the third umpire if necessary. While the stop clock is set to start immediately after the end of the over, umpires reserve the right to penalise a team depending on several factors like DRS calls or any unforeseen circumstances.

<h2>What will be the penalty?</h2>

According to sources, the umpires will give two warnings to the fielding side for violation of the stop clock rule before penalising the side. The penalty will be five runs for every offence committed after the first two warnings. In case of drinks break and DRS calls on the last ball of the over, the on-field umpires reserve rights to when to start the stop clock.

A similar rule is also in place for the batting side, where a batter has to enter the field within 90 seconds after the fall of the previous wicket. However, the batter could be given out only if the bowling team decides to appeal. During the ODI World Cup in India in October-November 2023, Angelo Matthews became the first player to be timed out when Bangladesh decided to appeal when he arrived late in the middle.

The stop clock rule was initially trialled by the ICC in December 2023. The trial period is supposed to end in April but in the meanwhile, the ICC and its cricket committee are believed to have found merit in making the rule permanent. It will now be a universal rule for every ICC whiteball game.

ICC to introduce stop-clock rule on permanent basis in white-ball cricket

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has amended its rule books in the New Year to avoid players taking advantage of the&nbsp;loopholes. According to the amendment, the TV umpire will no longer check for caught behind when he is checking for stumping. Earlier, the loophole allowed the fielding side to review the incident without the use of a Decision Review System (DRS) and hence the ICC has now tightened its grip on such incidents. The rule change will mean, that teams will have to use DRS to challenge for the caught behind and can no longer use the 'fake appeal' to review the on-field umpire’s call.

<h2>ICC to avoid loopholes</h2>

"The change confines a stumping review to only check for stumped, therefore preventing the fielding team a free review for other modes of dismissal (i.e, caught behind) without choosing a player review," read ICC's new amendment.

In 2023, Aussie wicketkeeper Alex Carey made use of the loophole&nbsp;which allowed him to challenge the caught behind call without the use of DRS. He appealed for stumping which forced the leg umpire to go through protocols directed for such incidents. According to the previous protocols, umpires were entitled to check for those caught behind even if the appeal was for stumping. However, this won’t be the case anymore and teams will have to use DRS to challenge such calls. The umpires will be provided only camera frames essential for stumping reviews.

The new rules have come into effect from 12 December 2023 and if a team wants to review a caught behind appeal they will have to use the DRS.

In another change of rule, a concussion substitution cannot bowl if the player he is substituting is suspended from bowling at the time of the concussion. The ICC also has limited to four minutes of the time set for on-field injury assessment and treatment.

ICC to no longer review caught behind while checking stumping appeals

The International Cricket Council (ICC) approved the new changes to the pitch and outfield monitoring regulations on Tuesday (Nov 21). The ICC held its general meeting on Tuesday where several topics were on the agenda including the pitch regulations which have now got the green light. On the other hand, the ICC will also trial the stop clock which will be used to regulate time wasting from a bowling side.

<h2>ICC to implement new regulations</h2>

The main purpose of the stop clock will be to regulate the time-wasting approach of the teams during the bowling stint. Recently, it has been seen teams wasting unnecessary time during the match, especially during the breaks. To prevent this, ICC has approved a tennis-like feature that will see teams get penalised for not starting play on time. In tennis, there is a 25-second stop clock from where the server must serve or end up getting penalised.

If the bowling team fails to start play before 60 seconds from the end of the last over, then a five-run penalty will be imposed. This rule will be in effect for the ODIs and T20Is series starting from December 2023 to April 2024 and will be in use from the upcoming series between England and the West Indies. The ICC will then review the trial phase before implementing it on a regular basis for which the decision will be taken during the Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

If the trail goes according to plan, it will be in use for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA later in 2024.

<h2>ICC bans transgender athletes</h2>

"The changes to the gender eligibility regulations resulted from an extensive consultation process and are founded in science and aligned with the core principles developed during the review.

"Inclusivity is incredibly important to us as a sport, but our priority was to protect the integrity of the international women's game and the safety of players,” ICC CEO Geoff Allardice after the meet.

The review before taking the decision was led by the ICC Medical Advisory Committee chaired by Dr Peter Harcourt and his team and is bound for international contests only. The sanctions of the ICC are not bound to individual board members and imposing of them solely depends on each member.

ICC approves changes to pitch and outfield monitoring; start stop clock trial

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has introduced a fresh set of rules which are set to have a significant impact on the game. ICC have announced a host of changes to the playing conditions which were approved by the ICC Cricket Committee led by BCCI president Sourav Ganguly. The new rules will come into effect from October 01, 2022.

With the T20 World Cup 2022 around the corner, the new rules are set to be implemented in the tournament and can have a huge impact. As per the new rules, 'Mankad'(bowler running the non-striker out) is no longer under the 'Unfair Play' section and will be considered a legitimate run-out.

The use of saliva to shine the cricket ball has also been permanently banned. ICC banned the use of saliva for the first time in 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, however, the rule is now set to be implemented permanently. As per the new rules, the incoming&nbsp;batters will now have only two minutes to take charge at the crease after the dismissal of their teammate.

Here is a look at the new ICC rules:

Ban on saliva: The use of saliva to shine or polish the cricket ball will be banned permanently in international cricket. The long-standing practice had been abolished for the first time in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. The rule is now set to be implemented permanently and the players will not be allowed to use saliva on the ball to generate swing. The players can continue using sweat to shine the ball instead of saliva.

Batter returning when caught:&nbsp;The new batter coming in will have to take strike when a batter is caught, regardless of whether the two batters crossed each other on the pitch during the dismissal. Earlier, if the batter had crossed the non-striker before the catch, the non-striker was allowed to take strike.

'Mankad' not unfair:&nbsp;Running out the non-striker for backing up too much will no more be considered unfair and referred to as 'Mankad'. The mode of dismissal has now been moved from the 'Unfair Play' section to the 'Run out' section. Running out a non-striker will now be considered a regular run-out.

Incoming batter ready to face the ball:&nbsp;The incoming batter will be allowed only two minutes to settle down and take the strike in both ODIs and Tests. The 90 seconds rule in T20Is will remain intact.

Bowler throwing the ball at the striker's end before the delivery:&nbsp;As per the new rule, a bowler will not be allowed to attempt to run out a batter on the striker's end if he is advancing down the wicket before the bowler's delivery stride. The bowler was earlier allowed to attempt a run-out but it will now be deemed a dead ball.

Striker's right to play the ball: A batter will require to keep some part of their bat or their body inside the pitch while facing a delivery. It will be called a dead ball if a batter stands beyond the pitch. Any delivery which forces the batter to leave the pitch will also be called a no-ball

Five runs penalty on unfair fielding movement: Any attempt to distract the batter by the fielding side with an unfair or deliberate movement while the bowler is running in to bowl the delivery will result in a five-run penalty. The batting side will be awarded five runs and the delivery will be adjudged as a dead ball.

Penalty for slow over rate: In January this year, the ICC implemented a new in-match penalty for teams failing to complete their overs in the allotted time in T20Is. Failure of the fielding team to bowl their overs in the scheduled time led to an additional fielder being brought inside the fielding circle for the remaining overs during the match.

The rule is now set to be implemented in ODIs as well following the conclusion of the &nbsp;ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League in 2023. The rule has already cost matches to a few teams for maintaining a slow over rate.
