as follows: India’s new domestic season begins with Ranji TrophyThe Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has implemented several significant changes to the playing conditions.
A retired batsman is considered out unless injured.
One of the most notable changes is the new rule regarding retired batsmen. If a batter withdraws for reasons other than injury or illness, he will be immediately ejected and will not be able to return to bat even with the consent of the opposing captain. These rules apply to all BCCI domestic competitions, including multi-day competitions and limited-overs competitions.
Strict rules against saliva and interrupted execution
For bowling, BCCI Tightened restrictions on using saliva on balls. If a team is found to have sprinkled saliva on the ball, the ball must be replaced immediately and a penalty may be assessed.
The BCCI has also revised its rules regarding stoppage of runs. Now, if a batsman decides to stop scoring after a cross and a boundary is incurred due to an overthrow before he crosses again, only 4 boundaries will be scored. These changes are in line with what was agreed at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
