Big change in cricket rules
The ICC has made a big change in ODI cricket. In the ODI match, two new balls are used for a full 50 overs from both sides. But after the changes in the rules, both the balls will be used for the first 34 overs in an innings, but after 34 overs, the bowling team will have to select only one ball and the second ball will be reserved.
ODI matches are used for 25 overs or less due to rain or any other reason due to any obstruction, then only one ball will be used in an innings. Rules will also be changed regarding the Decision Review System (DRS), but information about it has not been revealed yet.
