  • ICC has changed the law of stumping review

    ICC has changed the law of stumping review

    The International Cricket Council (ICC) has changed the law of stumping review, according to which ‘the field umpire can only check the batter’s crease position’.

    Old Rule:

    According to the media report, if the off-field umpire had approached the third umpire to clear his doubts about the appeal of stumping by the fielding side in cricket, other types of outs including catches behind the wickets would have been checked and there would have been a chance to get a wicket, but this law has been changed since December 1.

    If the on-field umpire had checked the stumping, the bowling side would have got a free review. Now a straight and clear law has been introduced in this regard, in which it will be seen only from the side angles whether the batter was outside the crease at the time of stumping or not.

    New Rule:

    If the field umpire seeks the opinion of the third umpire, then he will make a decision only regarding stumping, even if there is any other type of dismissal, the decision will not be given in favor of the bowling side, for this a review will have to be taken.

    Another law change made it clear that if a player suffering from a concussion is currently suspended from bowling, his replacement will not be allowed to bowl. Only 4 minutes will be given to decide whether to assist or take off the field, the TV umpire will now be able to check all types of no balls, not just front foot.
