The ICC met in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering a change in two ball rules in ODIs. In a meeting held at Harare, Zimbabwe this week, it was recommended to use only one ball from the 35th over of the innings.
This decision can be taken in view of the dominance of the batsmen in the ODI format. Mains Cricket Committee Chairman Sourav Ganguly has proposed to the ICC. According to this, each innings will start with two new balls, as it is now. But the bowling team will have to decide from which ball the team wants to play after the 34th over.
It was recommended to change the ball in the first 25 overs
The Cricket Committee meeting considered changing the ball after 25 overs. But it did not get support from several members. He said that it would be more right to decide which ball should be continued to decide only after using the ball for 17 overs. The board can tell its decision on this at the end of this month.
Two ball rules were implemented in October 2011.
Batsmen get benefit
Since October 2011, the rule of two new balls in ODIs is applicable. Currently, two new balls are used from both sides in ODIs. In such a situation, the ball remains strict, which gives the batsmen a chance to score openly.
A member of the ICC told the news agency, the committee has thought about changing three rules. Using a ball in ODI cricket, converting clock timer and under -19 Men’s World Cup from 50 overs to T20 to check the over rate in Test matches.
60 second stop clock in Test cricket too
The board has also considered a 60 -second stop clock in Test cricket. The rule has been implemented in T20 and ODI since 2024 to deal with slow over rate.
In such a situation, it can also be applied in test format. In terms of timer clock, 60 seconds are given between overs. In the middle of it, you have to start a second over. If a team does not complete their over from the scheduled time, then they have to bring an extra fielder to the 30-quarter circle.
The bowling team in the stop clock rule will get 60 seconds time to start the second over.
Under-19 World Cup now in T20 format
The committee in the Under-19 Men’s World Cup, which is currently played in 50 overs format. Thought to convert it into T20. However, confirmation has not yet been received on this. The committee members also discussed the bonus-point reward at the World Test Championship. However, it was later denied.
