“The Over Rate regulation was arrested in the 13.8 clause from the condition of the play, which stipulates that the field side must be in a position for the first ball bowl of the final from innings by the time scheduled or rescheduled to the end of the innings,” ICC stated.
“If they are not in such a position, one fewer fielder will be allowed outside the 30 yard circle for the remaining inning.” The change was recommended by the Cricket ICC committee, which routinely discussed ways to increase the pace of the game in all formats, after considering reports on the effectiveness of similar regulations entered in playing conditions for the ECB.
In other changes, solving optional drinks two minutes and thirty seconds can be taken at the midpoint of each round which depends on the agreement between the members of each series.
