The International Cricket Council (ICC) is planning to change the law of using two different balls from two different ends in an innings to balance the competition between batters and bowlers in a one -day format.
According to Kirk Info, a proposal was made at an ICC meeting held in Harare last week, according to which a ball will be used since the 35th over of the innings.
The proposal was presented by the ICC Men’s Cricket Committee, headed by former Indian captain Saru Ganguly, to the board of the board.
According to the suggestion, each innings will start with two balls, but the fielding side will have the option to choose from which ball for the rest of the overs after the 34th over. The ball that will not be chosen will be kept as a surplus ball.
The cricket committee presented the idea of 25 overs for the change of the ball, which could not be received by the committee members. The cricket boards will submit their opinion by the end of this month, and if the law agrees, it will be finalized at the annual ICC general meeting in July.
