Dear all,

It's time for some intensive action, raining fours, sixes, and wickets striking off guard with the advent of T20 cricket.

We are so sad to announce that the two ODIs are cancelled due to workload concerns of many players. However, the action of limited overs is not over yet, as the matches will shift from ODI to a T20 packed series.

This WILL be the last matches of the season, so play well!

Details of the series:

1. Number of matches - 3 T20I matches across the month of October.

2. Overs - 20

3. Over limit per bowler - 5. This requires AT LEAST FOUR bowlers from each side. 

4. Back runs - Depend on the availability of players.

5. Match ball - Poll will be created for the same, regarding which ball to be used.

6. Match dates - Will be shared. In case any important player has another match clashing with any match(es) of the series, it will be postponed or the number of matches can be reduced in extreme cases.

7. Toss time - 8:00 AM IST (GMT 05:30)

8. Match time - Match will start at 8:10 AM IST. 

9. Scoring - Yes, all matches will be shared on CricHeroes (if possible).

10. Overthrow runs - Allowed, may be disabled depending on the number of players.

Rules of the game:

All rules will be the same as AWC Birthday Special 40-Over Cricket Match with some additional rules as follows:

1. Team changes can be done in between matches. 

2. Talking or sledging is not allowed once a player enters his delivery stride; or if there is no delivery stride, starts his bowling action. A no-ball shall be counted and Free Hit will be given if a player does so, and no arguments or excuses will be entertained.

3. Whether the pitches are marked or not, will be decided.

4. Winning trophy and a cash prize (if deemed secure) will be awarded to the captain who won the most number of matches (out of 5). This is not confirmed yet.

5. In case a match is tied, Super Over will not be done, and the match will be deemed 'tied'.

6. Drinks break will be given after 6, 13 and 18 overs of each innings.

We wish you best of luck for all matches!

Thanks.

Astitva Rana.
