Expansion
The Marylebone Cricket Club has made changes to the rules related to catch-out and mankading. Along with this, the use of saliva has been permanently banned. Now when a batsman is caught out, the new batsman will have to play the first ball. At the same time, Mankading has now been made part of the run out and a batsman who is dismissed in this manner will be considered run out. The rule of Mankading has always been in controversies. Making it part of the run out will make it easier for the bowlers to take wickets in this manner.
What is the new catch out rule?
Under the new rule of cat out, now the new batsman will always have to play the first ball. According to the old rule, when a batsman was caught out and both batsmen crossed each other in an attempt to run away, the batsman at the other end played the next ball and the new batsman remained non-striking. Now when a batsman is caught out, the new batsman will have to play the first ball even if both the batsmen have changed their ends while running. If a batsman is caught on the last ball of the over, then the batsman standing at the other end will play the first ball of the next over.
Mankading’s rule also changed
When a non-striking batsman leaves the crease before the bowler has bowled the ball, the bowler can get him out by scattering his bails. This is called Mankading. Earlier Mankading’s rule was considered against the spirit of the game and the bowler who took wickets in this manner was heavily criticized. Now this rule has been made part of run out. After this, the batsman who is dismissed in the Mankading manner will be considered run out. Usually spin bowlers run out a batsman in this manner.
Ban on use of saliva
Now the use of saliva for fast bowlers has also been banned. The use of saliva was banned during the Corona period to reduce the possibility of epidemic infection. After this it was realized that the non-use of saliva did not affect the swing of the bowlers. After this, the use of saliva has been banned permanently. Traditionally it was believed that the use of saliva helps the fast bowler to swing the ball.
