ICC Announces Five-Run Penalty for Batters Wasting Time
- The ICC introduced changes to Playing Conditions across international cricket to curb time-wasting, clarify fielding laws, and standardize equipment.
- T20Is now feature a fixed 15-minute interval, reducible to 10 minutes if time is lost, while Umpires gained discretion to determine when a ball is "finally settled."
- New regulations clarify that an overthrow requires an attempt to hit the stumps, not a simple misfield, while a catch during run-outs requires complete control; merely touching the ball is insufficient.
- These changes apply to series beginning on or after October 1, and cricket for Women will adopt three distinct size and weight specifications for balls.
- Repeated offenses will incur five penalty runs for the fielding side, and further violations could also attract Code of Conduct action under the new Playing Conditions.
