New ICC Rule In T20I World Cup 2022: No Use Of Saliva To Shine The Ball

It was also decided that the playing conditions for all men's and women's ODI and T20I matches will be amended to allow hybrid pitches to be used, if agreed by both teams.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday introduced multiple changes to playing conditions including permanently banning the use of saliva to shine the ball. A slew of changes announced by BCCI president Sourav Ganguly-led ICC Cricket Committee will come into effect on October 1.

With the T20 World Cup 2022 to be held in Australia around the corner, new rules will be on full display during the tournament.

As per the new rules now, 'Mankading'(bowler running the non-striker out) is no longer to be considered under the 'Unfair Play' and will be considered a legitimate run-out.

Let us have a look at some other rule changes which will be coming into effect soon. 

Other Rule Changes Will Come Into Effect from October 1, 2022:

When a batter is out caught, the new batter will come in at the end the striker was, regardless of whether the batters crossed prior to the catch being taken.

Incoming batter ready to face the ball: An incoming batter will now be required to be ready to take strike within two minutes in Tests and ODIs, while the current threshold of ninety seconds in T20Is remains unchanged.

Striker's right to play the ball: This is restricted so as to require some part of their bat or person to remain within the pitch. Should they venture beyond that, the umpire will call and signal a Dead ball. Any ball which would force the batter to leave the pitch will also be called No ball.

Running out of the non-striker: The playing conditions follow the Laws in moving this method of effecting a Run out from the 'Unfair Play' section to the 'Run out' section.

Bowler throwing towards striker's end before delivery: Previously, a bowler who saw the batter advancing down the wicket before entering their delivery stride, could throw the ball to attempt to Run out the striker. This practice will now be called a dead ball.

Other major decisions: The in-match penalty introduced in T20Is in January 2022, (whereby the failure of a fielding team to bowl their overs by the scheduled cessation time leads to an additional fielder having to be brought inside the fielding circle for the remaining overs of the innings), will now also be adopted in ODI matches after the completion of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League in 2023. 

It was also decided that the playing conditions for all men's and women's ODI and T20I matches will be amended to allow hybrid pitches to be used if agreed by both teams. Currently, hybrid pitches can only be used in women's T20I matches.
