ICC has changed 8 new rules after WTC final 2025

While the Spotlight in World Cricket is set on the England vs India Test series, the ICC has launched a wave of changes in all formats after the final 2025 of the World Test Championship (WTC). Its purpose is to improve the flow and fairness of the game, these new rules-eight of the eight new World Test Championships bicycles (2025–27).

The major update here is to break:

1. Stop clock introduced in Test cricket

After tests in limited overs formats, the ICC has now brought the stop clock for testing. Fielding teams will have to start a new new within 60 seconds of the last one. Two warnings will be issued before the fine of five runs is implemented. The clock resets every 80 overs, making slow rates more expensive. Rule 2025-27 is already in the game before the start of the WTC cycle.

2. Single ball in Odis after 35th over

We had also covered this single-ball rule earlier. Just before 2015, ICC brought ODI to a new rule in cricket, where teams had to bowl with 2 balls, each 25 overs.

In a big innings, Odis will still continue One ball Instead of using two new balls, beyond 35th. The move is likely to bring reverse swing and spin back in the final stages of the game, especially in the subcontinent. With each ball used from one end for only 25 overs, the ball has very little opportunity for age and behaves unexpectedly in the overs of death.

3. Saliva rule was taunted

Whereas Applying saliva remains restrictedThe umpire is no longer Mandatory To change the ball. They can now use conscience, change it only when the ball position is clearly changed. However, deliberate violations still attract a five -run punishment.

4. DRS protocol for secondary dismissal

If a batsman reviews the back of a hold and is not found out, the umpires can now continue the same review to investigate for LBW. Without Changing the original “out” decision. This means that if the ball tracking “calls the umpire” returns, the batsman stays out.

5. Chronological review order

In the scenarios associated with several appeals (eg LBW and Run out), the TV umpires will now address events in the order they have done. If the first result in dismissal is, the latter review becomes irrelevant.

6. Fairness of catch also reviewed without cheek

Earlier, the no-ball was once called, the fairness of a catch was not reviewed. Now, the third umpire would judge the grip regardless of that. If fair, batting team only gets no-ball run; If not, all complete runs will be counted.

7. Small run intentionally punished

If the batsmen are deliberately caught at least, the fielding teams will be allowed to choose that the next delivery is to be faced. The fine of five runs remains intact.

8. Airborne border is now illegal

The magnificent “bunny hop” catchs like Michael Neser in BBL-where the fielders tap the ball out of the border, which are illegal before jumping back before jumping back. Fielder can only make One Contact with the ball during the airborne beyond the border and should return inside to complete the catch.
