New rules when caught out, several changes in cricket law

Maybe one of the lower order batsmen made a catch in the sky. At that time, the non-striker batter ran to the end of the striking.

The lower order batter made his way to the dressing room and a recognized batter who went from non-strike to strike may have won the game by an edge.

Such incidents are seen all the time in cricket. However, there is no such opportunity from the front. The Marylebourne Cricket Club (MCC), the cricket’s governing body, has made a number of changes since October 1 this year.

One of the most notable changes is that the new batsman will strike after the catch out. The previous rule of cricket was that in the case of a catch-out, the non-striker would be the one to strike if he had crossed the half-yard mark at 22 yards.

But under the new rules, wherever the non-striker batter is, the new batter will get the strike. However, if it is the end of the innings, the new batsman will go to the non-striker end.

Dead ball rules have also been changed. If a stranger or animal suddenly enters the field or the game is interrupted for any other reason, the ball at that time will be declared dead ball.

In addition, if the bowler goes to run out the striker batter before entering the ball delivery step, then that ball will also be considered dead.

In modern cricket, batsmen are seen to confuse the bowler by moving back and forth in front of the crease. In that case maybe a batsman goes too far forward and then backwards again and the ball can actually cross the wide line.

MCC is also bringing change in this place. From now on the wide ball will be caught based on where the batter stands.

In addition, if the fielders took undue advantage or cheated, the ball would have been declared dead earlier. But from now on penalty will be given. In case of any such incident, 5 runs will be added to the scorecard of the batting team.

Corona says the use of saliva at this time has been discussed for a long time. The MCC is finally going to impose a permanent ban on the use of saliva. Using saliva will henceforth be subject to ball distortion.

MCC is also giving legitimacy to the controversial Mancad Out. Breaking the non-striker end stamp before the ball is considered an ‘unfair play’ will now be considered a clean runout. Although the rule of getting out was already there.
