One-Day cricket will never be the same again. From July 30 when the tri-series in Sri Lanka involving India kicks off, the rules of the abridged version will be radically altered because teams will have 12 players instead of the traditional 11.
The ICC chief executives’ committee (CEC) headed by Sunil Gavaskar has approved the introduction of football-style replacements which will permit sides to replace a player at any stage of a match. The replaced player will be ruled out of the rest of the match while the replacement can assume any remaining batting or bowling duties. Both players will receive a cap.
The CEC has also approved the introduction of another innovation into all one-day internationals by increasing the fielding restrictions to 20 overs instead of the existing fifteen, of which only ten would have to come at the start of the innings. The other ten would be fitted in later, in two blocks of five, at the discretion of the fielding captain.
The additional ‘close-catcher’ field restrictions will only apply for the first 10 overs. These two innovations will be on trial for 10 months and will be reviewed next year.
