Digital Desk: According
Digital Desk: The International cricket Council (ICC) has
banned the use of saliva to polish the ball in International Cricket on Tuesday
as a part of a slew of other changes to the game’s rules.
The International Cricket council has banned the use of
Saliva as a COVID-19 related temporary measure more than two years ago, but the
game’s governing body now says “ it is considered appropriate for the ban to be
made permanent.”
The ICC’s men’s cricket committee recommended changes to
several playing conditions, which the Chief Executive committee has now
approved.
“ I was pleased with the productive contribution of the committee
members, which resulted in key recommendation being made, “ Sourav Ganguly,
chairman of the cricket committee, said in a statement. “ I want to thank
everyone for their valuable input and suggestions.”
The changes will take effect on October 1.
If the umpire observes any unfair movement while the bowler
is running in to bowl, he may award the batting side five penalty runs.
Furthermore, the umpire will call it a dead ball.
The ICC has also imposed penalties for slow over-rates in
ODIs, as it does in T20s.
In T20s, if a team fails to bowl its quota of overs in the
allotted time, it must bring an extra player inside the 30-yard circle for the
remainder of the innings.
The new ODI format will be implemented at the end of the
World Cup Super League next year.
