The appeal for stumping will now only include side-on camera photos, though, owing to a recent rule change.
Digital Desk: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has implemented a significant alteration to the playing conditions. Umpires will now exclusively use the Decision Review System (DRS) to examine side-on replays of stumping instances. This change came into effect on December 12, 2023. As such, a team must now use a different DRS option specified for the caught-behind appeal if they want to challenge a caught-behind decision made during a stumping.
Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey routinely used the review system for caught-behind appeals following a stumping during the series against India in early 2020, instead of using the team's Decision Review System (DRS) option.
The appeal for stumping will now only include side-on camera photos, though, due to a recent rule change. Instead of looking for any possible snick, the umpires will only use these pictures to determine their call.
"The change confines a stumping review to only check for stumped, therefore preventing the fielding team a free review for other modes of dismissal (i.e, caught behind) without choosing a player review," according to the amendment.
Concussion replacement rule clarification has been added by the ICC, which has also made significant modifications to it. If the player a replacement is for has already been suspended from bowling at the time of the concussion incident, the new rules prohibit that player from bowling.
In addition, the ICC implemented a four-minute time restriction for the assessment and treatment of injuries sustained on the field. This precaution minimizes disruption with the game while guaranteeing that players receive timely medical assistance.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also chosen to keep the two bouncers per over and "Dead Ball" rules in place. These regulations were first adopted for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy in the previous year. They will now be applied for the Ranji Trophy, which starts on Friday.
