Big change to cricket's most controversial rule amid shake-up (Fox Sports)

The International Cricket Council today announced a host of rule changes – including a significant change to the most controversial dismissal in the sport.

If they make such an attempt, it will be called a dead ball. Indian spin star Ravi Ashwin has been a notable proponent of the infamous dismissal, which was long viewed as an act of sportsmanship. “The ban on saliva use has been in place for over two years in international cricket as a Covid-related temporary measure and it is considered appropriate for the ban to be made permanent,” an ICC statement said. The ICC said the ban on saliva to shine one side of the ball to help it swing through the air, brought in May 2020 as a temporary measure to prevent coronavirus transmission, would stay. “Previously, in case the batters crossed before a catch was taken, the new batter would be at the non-striker’s end,” ICC said. The running out of a non-striker encroaching out of his crease by the bowler is now legitimised after being moved from the “Unfair Play” section of the rules to the “Run Out” section.

[Cricket](/topic/cricket)Council ( [ICC](/topic/icc)) today announced a slew of changes to its Playing Conditions which will come into effect on October 1. This practice will now be called a Dead ball. Earlier, running out a non-striker for backing up too much was considered unfair but such dismissals have often triggered heated debates on spirit of the game with several players such as off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin advocating for it as a fair mode of dismissal. Should they venture beyond that, the umpire will call and signal Dead ball. Any ball which would force the batter to leave the pitch will also be called No ball.

International cricket makes strange permanent rule change (The Comeback)

The use of saliva to polish a ball has now been permanently banned in international cricket after it was initially a COVID-19 precaution.

In fact, it’s already been in effect for over two years after the ICC first banned the use of saliva as a COVID-19 precaution back in 2020. But it’s no longer just a temporary measure with the ICC saying “it is considered appropriate for the ban to be made permanent.” Sanitary or not, using saliva to impact performance has become common across many sports in all parts of the world.
