ICC took big decisions on ‘Stop Clock’ and ‘Transgender’ in the meeting held in Ahmedabad
ICC big decisions: The ICC board has introduced a stop-clock system in its meeting held in Ahmedabad on 21 November. Under this regulation, which will come into effect from December 1 and will continue till April 2024, a clock will be used to control the time taken between overs.
Understanding the meaning of this rule, ICC said :-
Understanding the meaning of this rule, the ICC said, “If the bowling team is not ready to bowl the next over within 60 seconds of the completion of the previous over, a penalty of five runs is imposed for the third time in an innings.” Will go.”
The main purpose of this stop-clock is to improve the over rate. As per the current rule, if the fielding team is behind the time by the time the innings ends, they have to bring an extra fielder inside the 30-yard circle. But despite this, there were many instances where teams still fell behind. Now with the introduction of a stop-clock and five penalty runs, teams will be punished more heavily in the match itself, while the old penalties will remain in place.
ICC revised transgender policy :-
The ICC has revised its transgender policy with the introduction of the stop clock. Under the new rules, any player who has transitioned from male to female and has gone through any form of male puberty will not be allowed to participate in women’s international cricket; even if they have undergone any surgery or sex change treatment.
Previously, a transgender woman had to keep testosterone serum at 5 nanomoles or less for a 12-month period. This was in line with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee.
