It Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)in collaboration with the International Cricket Council (ICC)He has announced a change of reference to the laws of the cricket, aimed at the controversial capture of the bunny-hop limit. This new rule, which will enter into force in the play conditions of the ICC from June 17, 2025 and formally written to the laws of the MCC in October 2026, aims to clarify what is a fair capture near the limit and addresses concerns about the spirit and equity of the recent spectacular, but contentious efforts.
MCC makes the capture illegal with a significant modification
The capture of “rabbit-hop”, immortalized by Michael nasses at her Big Bash League 2023 And others have been a source of debate and debate. In these cases, Fielders jumped to intercept a ball near the limit, would throw it in the air while in the air outside the ropes, it would land outside, and then jump again to push the ball to the capture or complete the capture, sometimes with several touches in the air. Although legally under the ancient law, these catches left many fans and players who questioned their equity, as campers could manipulate the laws to avoid granting six of ways that seemed to challenge the spirit of the game.
Under the new rule, these aerial maneuvers, aerial from outside the limit, will be considered illegal. Now, if a camper jumps from outside the limit and touches the ball, he must completely disembark inside the playing field for the capture of counting. If the camper ends out of touching the ball or makes a subsequent contact with the floor out of the ropes during this installment, a limit will be awarded. MCC note on Member Councils explained that this change was needed because the previous law caused “Some unusual appearance that, in most cricket audience, feel unfair“. The new amendment will come into force on June 17.

What is still allowed? The art of spectacular saves
It is important to emphasize that all the captures of the acrobatic limit are not prohibited. The new law still allows folders to push the ball from within the limit, to leave due to the impulse, and then to immerse or re -enter to complete the capture, it provided its first contact with the ball while put on the ground inside the playing field. This distinction retains the emotion of the athletic field as it draws a clear line against the “rabbit-hop” technique that trusted in a repeated air touch from outside the limit.
The precise writing of the law states that a camper who is in the air and contacts the ball after jumping from outside the limit must land and remain inside the playing field until the ball dies. Any subsequent contact with the ground outside the limit during this installment, whether or not the camper is in contact with the ball, it results in a limit, not a wicket.
