ICC Cricket New Rules: The ICC said that the ban imposed on the use of saliva in June 2020 has been done forever. Due to the Corona epidemic, cricket was put within the bio-bubble and the use of saliva to shine the ball was banned. The ICC decided to make this ban permanent after a period of two years, when bio-bubbles are no longer mandatory. According to the new rules, when a batsman is caught out, the new batsman will take the strike, even if the previous two batsmen have crossed each other while taking a run before the player of the opposition team takes the catch. This rule was revealed to the world in March 2022 and will be implemented officially from October 1.

ICC Cricket New Rules: Along with saliva, the ICC has moved the runout of a non-striker batsman out of the crease from unfair play to the ‘runout’ category. This method of dismissal will now be considered a regular runout instead of Mankading. The ICC has also reduced the time taken by the new batsman to come to the crease. In the first ODI and Test matches, a batsman had three minutes to come to the crease and take strike after the fall of the wicket. As per the new rules, in both the formats the batsman has to take the strike within two minutes of the fall of the wicket. In T20 Internationals, this time will be 90 seconds as before.
