CRICKET WON’T BE SAME POST COVID-19

·    ICC has laid down some new rules to resume cricket

No Cricket has been played for more than 4 months due global pandemic Covid-19.Well, Cricket has to resume at some point of time, Bundesliga Football tournament has also been resumed during the period with special care and precautions, So, ICC has brought up some new rules to resume cricket.

International Cricket Committee held a meeting which was led by former Indian veteran spinner, Anil Kumble and the committee has decided that in order to resume cricket there has to be some new rules implemented for the safety concerns of the players.

The new rules are listed below:
1.    Ban on using SALIVA to shine the ball, instead
2.    SWEAT can be used to shine the ball
3.    No HAND-SHAKES before and after the match
4.    Umpires to wear HAND GLOVES
5.    LOCAL umpires can be used due travel restrictions
6.    Each team will be given an EXTRA DRS per inning of the match
7.    No CELEBRATIONS after a wicket
8.    Umpires will not hold players stuff

The old-age trick to shine a cricket ball using saliva has been banned hope so temporarily by the ICC, but has allowed the use of sweat to shine the ball. According to the ICC’s medical committee the corona virus can’t be transmitted through sweat but can transmit via saliva. Well, this means the bowlers will face more difficulties in coming times. Already, Cricket is been called ‘Batsman’s Game’ and adding this new rule to the tally will make that statement even more strong.

Spit-and-polish: Challenges of enforcing saliva ban as cricket ...Shining The Cricket Ball With Saliva Could Be Banned By ICC

Another eye-catching rule introduced was the using of local umpires for International Cricket due travel restrictions in various countries, the quality and lack of experience in standing for bigger games can affect the decision-making of the local umpires, so ICC has decided to add up an extra DRS per inning each side, which would bring a lot more balance.

What is DRS: All the rules, number of chances and components ...

Well, Cricket won’t be same during this tough period, and this would continue for a while till the invention of corona vaccine.
