ariety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavour.” These William Cowper lines spring to mind after the recent ICC rule changes that will soon come into force and transform cricket in multiple ways. Most experts believe these changes will be both ‘khatta-meetha’ but agree they will definitely speed up match es which may eventually help the financial health of the sport. Most of the changes will come into effect from October 1 and were ratified by the Chief Executives’ Committee (CEC) on the recommenda tions of the ICC Cricket Com mittee led by BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.

ICC’s effort to speed up the game and prevent unneces sary delays also reflects in another change. From now on, all incoming batsmen will have to take strike with in two minutes in both Tests and ODIs. In T20s, the cur rent rule of 90 seconds will remain unchanged. The ear lier time allowed was 3 min utes but less time now will imply reducing time for ad vertisements which may re sult in loss of TV revenue!
Another crucial change is that incoming batters will have to take strike even if the previous batsman was caught out and the two batsmen had crossed each other. In tight fin ishes with just a few wickets remaining, this rule change will benefit the bowling team a lot. Moreover, the fielding side will now be penalised 5 runs in case of any unfair movement while the ball is in play. Also, batsmen have to keep some part of their bat within the pitch or otherwise it’ll be declared a dead ball.

Their on-field impact will be strongly felt at next month’s T20 World Cup, the first ICC event where the new rules will come into effect!
The other big change is to completely do away with us ing saliva to polish the ball. This rule was already in ef fect since the Covid-19 crisis but has now been permanent ly put in place after much deliberation. The use of sa liva along with sweat would often be the method to keep one side of the ball shining which would aid in reverse swing as one side got scruffed up. Already for the last 2 years, many former cricket ers have been pointing to the diminishing art of reverse swing bowling as sides fail to look after the ball well after 25-30 overs. Now, with the prohibition in place, many experts feel that the art of reverse swing might just be come a lost skill!

One of the most significant changes is removing the “un fair play” tag when the nonstriker is run out by a bowler for backing up too far and put ting it in the normal “run-out” section. This mode of dismiss al was in the news in the last few seasons of the IPL when Ravi Ashwin was ‘Mankad ing’ batters on the non-strik er’s end. In 1948, Vinoo Mankad had thwarted the at tempt of Bill Brown to gain a few yards at the bowler’s end by running him out – an act that led to much debate on whether it lived up to the spir it of the Gentleman’s game!
