From Boundary Catches To Concussion Protocols: ICC Announces Playing Conditions Changes Across Formats
The Decision Review System Zone: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a set of changes in regard to the use of balls in ODIs, boundary catches and concussion replacements for both Test and white-ball formats. One of the most significant being, in efforts to fasten the pace of the game and over rates, a stop clock to speed up the longest format.
The stop clock, already tried successfully in white-ball cricket, now become a permanent feature in Tests. Fielding sides will be required to begin a new over within 60 seconds of completing the previous one. Failure to comply will lead to penalties, two warnings per innings, followed by a five-run penalty for every subsequent breach. These warnings will reset after every 80 overs, in line with the availability of a new ball.
This change is designed to reduce delays and encourage faster over rates, a long-standing concern in Test cricket.
