The function will now be necessary in all Full Member ODI and T20I matches starting June 1, 2024. According to the cease clock rule, which was trialled in males’s white-ball cricket, the fielding facet should start a brand new over inside 60 seconds of the earlier over’s completion.
“An electronic clock, counting down from 60 to zero, will be displayed on the ground, with the onus on the third umpire to determine the start of the clock,” a press release from the ICC learn.
The cease clock will limit the period of time taken between overs, that means that the bowling staff will must be able to bowl the primary ball of their subsequent over inside 60 seconds of the earlier over being accomplished. Failure to take action for the third time in an innings (following two warnings) will end in a five-run penalty being imposed towards the fielding staff.
There are just a few exceptions to this rule, and the clock, if already began, will be cancelled in sure conditions. These embrace:
“When a new batter comes to the wicket between overs. An official drinks interval has been called. The umpires have approved the onfield treatment of an injury to a batter or fielder. The time lost is for any circumstances beyond the control of the fielding side,” ICC stated.
“The ICC Board and Committee meetings are the forum for us to discuss the long-term future of the international game and at this set of meetings, we spent a number of hours constructively considering the structure of the global cricket calendar. Whilst there are no easy answers, there is a commitment to exploring how context can be delivered and further options will be considered at upcoming meetings,” ICC Chair Greg Barclay stated, in accordance with the assertion.
The event will kick off on June 1 and can be co-hosted by the West Indies and the US. (With ANI inputs)
