The game of cricket is changing and it’s changing for good. Following the invention of the T20 format and the franchise cricket that followed, this game has seen introduction of several new rules. With the Women’s Premier League (WPL) being the talking point&nbsp;as of now, there is one new rule that has been added to its guide book which states that a player can now challenge any on-field decision, and not just dismissals, be it a no-ball and also a wide ball during this tournament and also during the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL).

In the first of its kind move in the T20 cricket across the world, the players, barring the ‘Timed Out’ (Player Review), can now request for a review against any call given by the on-field umpire, something that has never been seen before. These Add-Ons will also be part of the two reviews that each team gets during both innings. However, the leg-byes, will be exempted from this.

"A player may request a review of any decision taken by the on-field umpires concerning whether or not a batter is dismissed, with the exception of 'Timed Out' (Player Review)," the playing conditions for the WPL say. "A player may also be allowed to review any decision taken by on-field umpires concerning wide or no ball."

The first of such instance happened during the inaugural WPL match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants when the on-field umpire signalled a ball bowled by Mumbai’s Saika Ishaque that was going down on the leg side as a wide ball; after which Saika decided to review it and the replays showed it touched batter Monica Patel’s gloves, resulting in the decision to get overturned.

Even during the match between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday at the CCI, Delhi’s Jemimah Rodrigues also decided to use such a review. During the final over in the first innings, Megan Schutt bowled a full-toss that Rodrigues dispatched for a four over the short fine leg.&nbsp;She, however, felt it was above the waist height and decided to challenge it for a potential no-ball. That didn’t happen though because the replays and ball-tracking showed the ball was dipping on to the batter and that she had even crouched a little bit, almost hitting it off on her knees.

As the tournament only got started, there is a likeness that more such instances will be recorded.

India have locked horns with Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Wednesday (November 02), at the picturesque Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue posted a competitive 184/6 riding on KL Rahul's 50 and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 44-ball 64.

After Rahul's fluent knock, the onus fell on Kohli who held one end and took the one-time winners to a score near the 200-run mark. However, a minor controversy broke during the 15th over of the Indian innings.&nbsp;In the final delivery of the 15th over, pacer Hasan Mahmud banged in a short ball it rose on to the right-hander. Kohli immediately gestured at the umpires for a no-ball. The on-field umpire Marais Erasmus gave it a no-ball but Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan wasn't impressed with Kohli's appeal.

Baffled with Kohli's appeal, Shakib and the former Indian captain nearly collided and had a brief chat before they hugged it out and proceedings resumed.&nbsp;The superstar duo had a good laugh and gave a pat on each other's back as the incident was done and dusted then and there.&nbsp;

T20 WC: Shakib Al Hasan baffled as Virat Kohli asks for a no-ball from umpires, duo involved in brief chat

The England versus Pakistan three-match Test series will see TV umpire alone deciding whether a bowler had over-stepped as the front-foot no-ball technology will be used for the first time on trial basis in Test cricket during series, that started on Wednesday.&nbsp;

The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the development with the responsibility of calling no-balls now shifting to the TV umpire. The on-field umpires can call on their colleague in the replay booth for additional assistance if they feel a wicket may have been scalped in an illegal delivery.

However, many experts have said that this procedure will be unfair to bowlers given that they may not realise that they are over-stepping and rectify their run-up until it costs them a wicket.

Under the new system, TV umpire will keep an eye on the front foot after each delivery and tell the on-field umpires if an illegal delivery has been bowled.&nbsp;

"Front foot no ball technology to be used in ICC World Test Championship series featuring England and Pakistan, with the support of both teams," the global governing body tweeted Wednesday.

"Performance of the technology in these Tests will be reviewed before any decisions taken on its future use in Test cricket."

The new rule will also avoid situations like when Richard Illingworth called New Zealand’s Doug Bracewell for a no-ball that bowled Aussie batsman Adam Voges during a Test in Wellington. Voges, who was on seven at that time, went on to score a double century.
