The landscape of the international cricket could see important alterations in the coming years, according to reports indicate the International Cricket Council (ICC) It is contemplating several important changes of rules. According to Cricbuzz, the Cricket Committee of the ICC has submitted proposals that affect the international one day (hate), the test cricket and the World Cup of Children under 19, although any approved change will not come into force until the next Dissemination cycle begins.
Hatred of two new rules of balls established for modification
Perhaps the most discussed proposal is to modify the controversial rule of two new balls in the hatred. Introduced to allow teams to use a new Kookaburra White ball from each end to the start of an entry, the rule has faced criticism of reducing the role of the investment later in the entrances.
Instead of completely defleasing the rule, the ICC Committee suggests a modification. Under the proposed change, the equipment will continue to use the two new balls for the first 25. After 25 more, the bowling side would select one of these two balls to use for the rest of the entrances.
This proposed retouch aims to balance. It directs to the observations of players and officials that the Kookaburra White Ball is often worn, discolored, or loses shape around the 35 -year -old mark according to current regulations. By allowing a single slightly older ball to be used in the last half of the entrances (from more than 26 to 50), the ICC hopes to better preserve the state of the ball while reintroducing the possibility of reverse swinging during crucial death. This could help to restore a more uniform balance between BAT and dance in the 50 more format.
Try the cricket clock to tackle slow rates
Another significant proposal aims at the lasting problem of the slow test of the test cricket. Following the successful implementation of a party timer in white ball formats (Odi and T20IS), the Committee suggests the introduction of a 60 -second clock between test matches.
The main objective is to foster a more important pace of play and ensure that the teams strive constantly to complete the 90 points a day scheduled. The clock has been shown effective in the limited abandonment cricket, and the Committee thinks that it can be successfully translated into the longest format, improving the viewer’s experience and keeping the pace of the game.

Format of the World Men’s World Cup T20
The third key proposal consists of a format change for the World Cup under the age of 19. It is currently played as a 50-year-old tournament (Hate), the Committee suggests to move it to the T20 format.
This recommendation bases the precedence of the female game, where two editions of the Women’s U19 World Cup have already been successfully staged as T20 events. Adopting the shortest format of the U19 men’s tournament could align it with the growing overall role of Cricket T20 and potentially creating a different development path for young players.
Calendar for the implementation of new rules
It is crucial to keep in mind that these are currently proposals of the ICC Cricket Committee directed by Sourav Gangul. Any change ratified by the ICC Board would only be implemented from the next ICC issuing rights cycle, which begins in 2028.This time offers a broad opportunity for more discussions, improvement and preparation before remodeling key aspects of the international cricket. The focus is to improve the balance, rhythm and relevance of the game in its different formats.
