The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has announced amendments to the rules of international cricket on Wednesday, but they will be implemented only after October 1 this year. That is, the rules of cricket will change before the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia.
Cricket Law 41.3 - No Saliva
The MCC has now banned the use of spit to shine the ball in cricket. Earlier it was implemented only because of Covid-19, but now MCC is making it a law. The players were using sweat to shine the ball and it was equally effective. The new law will not allow saliva to be applied to the ball, as players use products containing sugar to apply their saliva to the ball. In this case, the use of saliva on the ball will be treated as if any other improper method of changing the position of the ball is used.
Law 18 - The new player will take the strike after the player is out
According to the new rules of MCC, after any player is out, only the new player on the field will take the strike, even if the players have changed the strike before the last wicket. Till now, if the player who played the shot reached the bowling end before being caught out, then the new batsman remained at the non-striker end. Now in case of any dismissal, only the new player will take the strike.
It was also tried for the first time in The Hundred League by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) at the suggestion of the MCC.
Law 38- Mankading will be run out
The ICC has also made a big change regarding Mankading. Earlier it was considered against the spirit of the game as per Cricket Law 41, but now it will be kept under Law 38, i.e. run out.
Where did Mankading come from?
The Mankading rule is applicable in cricket, but it is considered conduct contrary to the spirit of the game. When the batsman of the non-striking end comes out of the crease before the bowler has bowled and the bowler stops his hand and drops the bails of that end, it is called Mankading. Jos Buttler was the first batsman to be dismissed in this way in IPL.
During a test match between India and Australia, Vinoo Mankad of India dismissed Will Brown of Australia in a similar manner. Since then this method was called 'Mankading' based on the surname of Vinu.
This rule applies in cricket, but opinion is divided. Some knowledgeable and former players are in favor of this, while some say that this method of dismissing the batsman is against the spirit of the game.
Law 20.4.2.12 - Dead Ball
Dead ball rules have also been changed. If any person, animal, or object in the match field causes damage to either side, it shall be considered a dead ball. If the game is affected due to a sudden fan entering the field or a dog suddenly entering the field, the umpire will call and signal a dead ball.
Laws 27.4 and 28.6 - Fielder's mistake
If any member of the fielding team is seen to be making wrong movements, then 5 runs will be given a penalty to the batting side team. Earlier in this case it was termed as a dead ball. In such a situation, if the batter used to hit a good shot, then those runs were not considered. Now this will not happen.
