8] Judging a wide
● Umpires are instructed to apply very strict and consistent interpretation in order
to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. Any¹ offside or legside delivery
which in the opinion of the umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable
opportunity to score shall be called a wide.
● A penalty of one (1) run for a wide shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in
addition to any other runs, which are scored or awarded. All runs, which are run
or result from a wide ball, which is not a no ball, shall be scored wide balls.
9]Bowling
Mode of delivery
● The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm
the umpire shall call and signal no ball, and the ball is to be re-bowled overarm.
● It is unfair if the bowler fails to notify the umpire of a change in his mode of
delivery. In this case the umpire shall call and signal no ball.
● If the bowler has been considered to throw the ball by the umpire it shall result in
a no ball
● If the bowler throws the ball towards the striker's end before entering his delivery
stride, the umpire shall call a no ball
● The ball shall be fairly delivered in respect of the arm if, once the bowler's arm
has reached the level of the shoulder in the delivery swing, the elbow joint in not
straightened partially or completely from that point until the ball has left the hand.
If deemed unfairly delivered by the umpire it shall result in a no ball.
● The umpire shall call a no ball if other than in an attempt to run out the non-
striker the bowler breaks the wicket at any time after the ball comes into play and
before he completes the stride after the delivery stride
● If the bowler delivers the ball without some part of his front foot (either grounded
or raised) behind the popping crease, or if his back foot does not "land within and
not touching the return crease", this delivery is ruled a no ball
● The umpire shall call and signal no ball if a ball which he considers to have been
delivered, without having previously touched the bat or the striker either i)
bounces more than twice or ii) rolls along the ground before it reaches the
popping crease
● It costs one (1) run and his next delivery is designated a "free hit", from which the
batsman can only be dismissed through a run out, as is the case for the original
"no ball"
10]No ball and Free Hit
● The delivery following a no ball called (all modes of no ball) shall be a free hit for
whichever batsman is facing it
● If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a
wide ball), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is
facing it
● For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that
apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball
● Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of
striker. However, if the wicket-keeper is standing up at the stumps he is allowed
to move back to a more traditional position for safety reasons.
● A penalty of one (1) run shall be awarded instantly on the call of no ball
● No ball shall also be called and signalled with respect to the following:
o Position of wicket-keeper
▪ After the ball comes into play and before it reaches the striker, it is
unfair if the wicket-keeper significantly alters his position in relation
to the striker's wicket, except for the following:
● Movement of a few paces forward for a slower delivery,
unless in doing so it brings him within reach of the wicket
● Lateral movement in response to the direction in which the
ball has been delivered
● Movement in response to the stroke that the striker is playing
or that his actions suggest he intends to play
o Limitations of on side fie
o Fielders not to encroach on pitch
o Dangerous and unfair bowling
o Deliberate bowling of high full pitched balls
o Infringement on any fielding restrictions
▪ A maximum of two (2) fielders can be outside the thirty (30) yard
circle in the first six (6) overs. These overs are known as Power
Play.
▪ For the remaining fourteen (14) overs not more than five (5) players
can be outside the thirty (30) yard circle
▪ Only five (5) fielders can field on the leg side at any point of time
▪ At the instant of the bowler's delivery there shall not be more than
two (2) fielders, other than the wicket-keeper, behind the popping
crease on the on side, commonly referred to as being "behind
square leg"
11]Substitutes and Runners
● A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted under any circumstances.
● In case a batsman is unable to continue batting due to any injury sustained
during the innings , the batsman may leave the field as retired hurt and return
once fully recovered.
● A substitute is a replacement player who joins the match, after it has
commenced, to replace an existing player who is incapable of continuing to play
the match due to injury or illness suffered during the match
● The inclusion of the substitute is on the approval of the umpire
● Substitutes may only field for the injured player. However, a substitute may not
bat, bowl, wicket-keep or act as captain. The original player may return if he has
recovered
12]The “12th man" can be used as a substitute any time by the fielding team, a practice mostly takes place when one of the players is injured. The 12th man can field and take catches. But, the player is not allowed to bat or bowl. However, as per the new rule, the “impact player" will be able to do both.
