ICC Summary

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the global governing body for International cricket, encompassing mens, womens and youth participation and competition. It is responsible for the administration of mens and womens cricket including the management of playing conditions and ofcials for Test Match and One-Day International (ODI) cricket and the staging of international cricket events for men, women and juniors. It is also responsible for the global expansion of the game through a major international Development Program. Full Members are the governing bodies for cricket of a country recognised by the ICC, or nations associated for cricket purposes, or a geographical area, from which representative teams are qualied to play ofcial Test matches (10 Members). Associate Members are the governing bodies for cricket of a country recognised by the ICC, or countries associated for cricket purposes, or a geographical area, which does not qualify as a Full Member, but where cricket is rmly established and organised (35 Members). Afliate Members are the governing bodies for cricket of a country recognised by ICC, or countries associated for cricket purposes, or a geographical area (which is not part of one of those already constituted as a Full Member or Associate Member) where the ICC recognises that cricket is played in accordance with the Laws of Cricket (60 Members).

ICC History

On June 15th, 1909, representatives from England, Australia and South Africa (Foundation Members) met at Lords and founded the Imperial Cricket Conference. Membership was conned to the governing bodies of cricket within the British Commonwealth where Test Match cricket was played. In 1926 India, New Zealand and West Indies were elected as Full Members. They were joined by Pakistan in 1953, Sri Lanka in 1981, Zimbabwe in 1992 and Bangladesh in 2000. South Africa, one of the three original Foundation Members, ceased to be a member of the ICC on leaving the British Commonwealth in 1961, but was re-elected as a Full Member in 1991. In 1965, the organisation was renamed the International Cricket Conference and new rules were adopted to permit the election of countries from outside the British Commonwealth. This led to the expansion of the ICC, with the admission of Associate Members. In 1989 new rules were adopted and the name changed to the Inter national Cricket Council. The motivating factor behind this was the need to move the organisation from being a forum for discussion, in which only recommendations to Members could be made, to a body where binding decisions can be taken for effective management of the international game. Four years later in 1993 the ICC appointed David Richards, a former chief executive of the Australian Cricket Board as its rst chief executive and established a new administrative head ofce at Lords cricket ground. In 1997, the ICC Development Program was launched, and the game has since spread to 104 Members worldwide. In July 2001, Malcolm Speed succeeded David Richards as Chief Executive Ofcer. Upon his appointment, he set about recruiting an experienced management team drawn from throughout the cricket world so that today the ICC boast a professional staff capable of effectively leading the game.

2005 was a momentous year in the history of the ICC with the organisation taking responsibility for the administration of womens cricket for the rst time. It was also the year that it left Lords Cricket Ground after a 96-year association. Staff from the ICCs ofces in London and Monaco merged at new premises in Dubai in August 2005. Percy Sonn became the rst African to head the ICC when he was named ICC President in July 2006. After his death in 2007, he was replaced by South African Ray Mali, and it was in his home country that the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 tournament was staged. In 2008, the ICC went into a new era as a new Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat, joined the organisation. After almost four years of operating in Dubais Media City, the ICC moved on 16 April 2009 into its very own home in Dubai Sports City a 38,000 square foot building located adjacent to the Dubai Sports City Academy. In July 2010, Sharad Pawar became the new President of the ICC.

Only those nominated as substitute elders shall be entitled to act as substitute elders during the match, unless the ICC Match Referee, in exceptional circumstances, allows subsequent additions. All those nominated including those nominated as substitute elders, must be eligible to play for that particular team and by such nomination the nominees shall warrant that they are so eligible. In addition, by their nomination, the nominees shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by all the applicable ICC Regulations pertaining to international cricket and in particular, the Clothing and Equipment Regulations, the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel (hereafter referred to as the ICC Code of Conduct), the Anti-Racism Code for Players and Player Support Personnel, the Anti-Doping Code and the Anti-Corruption Code.

In all other Test Matches, the third umpire will be appointed by the Home Board and he shall act as the emergency umpire and ofciate in regard to TV replays. Such appointment shall be made from the Elite Panel, the International Panel or the TV Panel. The Home Board shall also appoint a fourth umpire for each Test Match from its panel of rst class umpires. The fourth umpire shall act as the emergency third umpire. In DRS Test Matches the fourth umpire shall be appointed from the International Panel or the TV Panel. Neither team will have a right of objection to an umpires appointment.

3.1.7

3.1.8

3.1.9 3.2

Third Umpire/Decision Review System The Home Board shall have the right to decide whether or not the DRS is to be used in a home series after consultation and agreement with the Visiting Board. Following such decision: 3.2.1 In matches where the DRS is used, the playing conditions set out in Appendix 2 A shall apply.

3.2.2 In matches where the DRS is not used, the playing condition set out in Appendix 2 B shall apply. 3.3 Law 3.2 - Change of umpire Law 3.2 shall be replaced by the following: An umpire shall not be changed during the match, other than in exceptional circumstances, unless he is injured or ill. 3.4 Law 3.4 - To inform captains and scorers The following shall apply in addition to Law 3.4 (i): The Home Board may provide for the ringing of a bell, which shall be rung 5 minutes before the termination of an interval, when the umpires shall go to the wickets.

STANDARD TEST MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

Laws 3.8 & 3.9 shall be replaced by: 3.5.2 The umpires shall be the nal judges of the tness of the ground, weather and light for play. See clause 3.5.3 below and Law 7.2 (Fitness of the pitch for play). 3.5.3 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light a) b) All references to ground include the pitch. See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch). If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the elders of the power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place. The umpires shall disregard any shadow on the pitch from the stadium or from any permanent object on the ground. c) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions. They shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that conditions are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game. If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place.

d)

3.5.4 Play may be suspended due to safety and security concerns by the umpires on the advice of the ICC Match Referee, the head of the relevant ground authority, the head of ground security or the police. 3.5.5 Where play is suspended under clause 3.5.4 above the decision to abandon or resume play shall be the responsibility of the ICC Match Referee who shall act only after consultation with the head of ground security and the police. 3.6 Light Meters 3.6.1 It is the responsibility of the ICC to supply light meters to the match ofcials to be used in accordance with these playing conditions.

3.6.2 All light meters shall be uniformly calibrated. 3.6.3 The umpires shall be entitled to use light meter readings as a guideline for determining whether the light is t for play in accordance with the criteria set out in clause 3.5.3 (b) above.

66

3.6.4 Light meter readings may accordingly be used by the umpires: a) b) 3.7 To determine whether there has been at any stage a deterioration or improvement in the light. As benchmarks for the remainder of a stoppage, match and/ or series/event.

Use of articial lights If in the opinion of the umpires, natural light is deteriorating to an unt level, they shall authorize the ground authorities to use the available articial lighting so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions. The lights are only to be used to enable a full days play to be completed as provided in clause 16 below. In the event of power failure or lights malfunction, the provisions of clauses 15 and 16 below shall apply. Note: Home Boards may, prior to the commencement of the series, seek the approval of ICC to amend this playing condition to provide that articial lights will not be used at specic venues.

3.8

Advertising on grounds, perimeter boards and sightscreens 3.8.1 Advertising on grounds The logos on outelds are to be positioned as follows: a) b) Behind the stumps a minimum of 25.15 yards (23 meters) from the stumps.

Note: Advertising closer to the stumps as set out above which is required to meet 3D requirements for broadcasters may be permitted, subject to prior ICC approval having been obtained. 3.8.2 Perimeter Boards a) Advertising on perimeter boards placed in front of the sightscreens is permitted save that the predominant colour of such advertising shall be of a contrasting colour to that of the ball. Advertising on perimeter boards behind the stumps at both ends shall not contain moving, ashing or ickering images and operators should ensure that the images are only changed or moved at a time that will not be distracting to the players or the umpires. In addition, the brightness of any electronic images shall be set at a level so that it is not a distraction to the players or umpires. Sightscreens shall be provided at both ends of all grounds. Advertising shall be permitted on the sightscreen behind the striker, providing it is removed for the subsequent over from that end. Such advertising shall not contain ashing or ickering images and particular care should be taken by the operators that the advertising is not changed at a time which is distracting to the umpire.

The on-eld umpires and ICC Match Referee shall consult with both captains. If the captains agree to continue, play shall resume.

7.2.2 7.2.3

7.2.4 If the decision is not to resume play, the on-eld umpires together with the ICC Match Referee shall consider whether the existing pitch can be repaired and the match resumed from the point it was stopped. In considering whether to authorise such repairs, the ICC Match Referee must consider whether this would place either side at an unfair advantage, given the play that had already taken place on the dangerous pitch. 7.2.5 7.2.6 If the decision is that the existing pitch cannot be repaired, then the match is to be abandoned as a draw. If the abandonment occurs on the rst scheduled day of the match, the ICC Match Referee shall consult with the Home Board with the objective of nding a way for a new match to commence on the same date and venue.

16 LAW 16 - START OF PLAY; CESSATION OF PLAY

Law 16 shall apply subject to the following: 16.1 Start and Cessation Times The Home Board shall determine the hours of play, subject to there being 6 hours scheduled play per day, and subject to: 16.1.1 Minimum Overs in the Day Subject to clause 16.1.2 below: a) On days other than the last day, play shall continue on each day until the completion of a minimum target of 90 overs (or a minimum of 15 overs per hour) or the completion of the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, whichever is the later but provided that play shall not continue for more than 30 minutes beyond the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time (permitted overtime). For the sake of clarity, if any of the minimum target number of overs have not been bowled at the completion of the permitted overtime, play shall cease upon completion of the over in progress. The overs not bowled shall not be made up on any subsequent day. On the last day, a minimum of 75 overs (or a minimum of 15 overs per hour) shall be bowled during the playing time other than the last hour of the match where clause 16.1.6 below shall apply. If any of the minimum of 75 overs, or as recalculated, have not been bowled when one hour of the scheduled playing time remains, the last hour of the match for the purposes of clause 16.1.6 shall be the hour immediately following the completion of these overs.

b)

16.1.2 Reduction in minimum overs Except in the last hour of the match, for which clause 16.1.6 makes provision, if play is suspended due to adverse weather or light or any other reason (other than normal intervals) for more than 1 hour on any day, the minimum number of overs shall be reduced by 1 over for each full 4 minutes of the aggregate playing time lost. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate of 1 hour shall be inclusive of any time that may have been brought forward from previous days due to playing time lost on such previous days under clause 16.1.3 (b) below.

16.1.3 Making Up Lost Time a) On The Day Subject to weather and light, except in the last hour of the match, in the event of play being suspended for any reason other than normal intervals, the playing time on that day shall be extended by the amount of time lost up to a maximum of 1 hour. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum of 1 hour shall be inclusive of any time that may have been added to the scheduled playing time due to playing time having been lost on previous days under clause 16.1.3 (b) below. b) On Subsequent Days If any time is lost and cannot be made up under clause 16.1.3 (a) above, additional time of up to a maximum of 30 minutes per day shall be added to the scheduled playing hours for the next day, and subsequent day(s) as required (to make up as much lost time as possible). Where appropriate this additional time shall be added prior to the scheduled start of the rst session. In circumstances where it is not possible to add this additional time prior to the scheduled start of the rst session, the additional time may be added to the second and/or the third sessions (see also clause 16.1.4). When such additional time is added, the minimum overs for that day shall be increased by one over for each four minutes of additional time or part thereof. c) On the Last Day only (Refer Appendix 3) Clause 16.1.3 (a) applies. However, for the purposes of this clause, the denition of playing time shall exclude the last hour. No time is made up in respect of any interruptions that commence after the start of the last hour. Should play be interrupted prior to the last hour being signalled, the playing time lost will be made up (subject to the maximum of 1 hour described in (a) above) with the previously scheduled time for the last hour being updated to reect the time made up during this interruption. In order to determine the minimum overs to be bowled prior to the last hour and the rescheduled starting time for the last hour, it is necessary to complete the template in Appendix 3. 16.1.4 Change of Intervals a) If play has been suspended for any reason other than normal intervals for 30 minutes or more prior to the commencement of the scheduled or rescheduled tea interval on that day, the tea interval shall be delayed for 1/2 hour. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause a) above, the timings of intervals can be altered under Law 15.5 at any time on any day if playing time has been lost irrespective of whether the time has been lost on that day or on any previous days.

b)

16.1.5 Change of Innings Where there is a change of innings during a days play (except where the change of innings occurs at lunch or tea or when play is suspended for any reason) 2 overs will be deducted from the minimum number of overs to be bowled. The over in progress at the end of an innings is regarded as a completed over for the purposes of determining the minimum number of remaining overs to be bowled in the day.

Law 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 will apply except that a minimum of 15 overs shall be bowled in the last hour and all calculations with regard to suspensions of play or the start of a new innings shall be based on 1 over for each full 4 minutes (refer clause 16.1.9 below). On the nal day, if both captains (the batsmen at the wicket may act for their captain) accept that there is no prospect of either side achieving a victory, they may agree to nish the match after (a) the time for the commencement of the last hour has been reached OR (b) there are a minimum of 15 overs to be bowled, whichever is the later. 16.1.7 Notwithstanding any other provision, there shall be no further play on any day, other than the last day, if a wicket falls or a batsman retires or if the players have occasion to leave the eld during the last minimum over within 2 minutes of the scheduled cessation time or thereafter. 16.1.8 An over completed on resumption of a new days play shall be disregarded in calculating minimum overs for that day. 16.1.9 Stumps Drawn Except on the nal day: a) In the event of play being suspended for any reason at or after the most recently scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, stumps shall be drawn upon play being suspended. In the event of the players already being off the eld for a suspension of play at the most recently rescheduled cessation time, then stumps will be drawn at that time. the total number of overs bowled with the ball currently in use: and the minimum number of overs remaining to be bowled in a day.

If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved no extra time shall be allowed. If it is decided to play such extra time on one or more of these days, the whole period shall be played out even though the possibility of nishing the match may have disappeared before the full period has expired. Only the actual amount of playing time up to the maximum 30 minutes extra time by which play is extended on any day shall be deducted from the total number of hours of play remaining, and the match shall end earlier on the nal day by the amount of time by which play was previously extended under this clause.

16.3 Minimum Over Rates The minimum over rate to be achieved in Test Matches will be 15 overs per hour. The actual over rate will be calculated at the end of the match by the umpires and will be the average rate which is achieved by the elding team across both of the batting teams innings. In calculating the actual over rate for the match, allowances will be given as follows: 16.3.1 The time lost as a result of treatment given to a player by an authorised medical personnel on the eld of play; 16.3.2 The time lost as a result of a player being required to leave the eld as a result of a serious injury; 16.3.3 The time taken for all third umpire referrals and consultations and any umpire or player reviews; 16.3.4 The time lost as a result of time wasting by the batting side; and 16.3.5 The time lost due to all other circumstances that are beyond the control of the elding side. 16.3.6 2 minutes per wicket taken, provided that such wicket results in the subsequent batsmen immediately commencing his innings. For the avoidance of any doubt, no time allowance will be given for the nal wicket of an innings or where a wicket falls immediately prior to any interval; 16.3.7 4 minutes per drinks break taken (one per session). If a side is bowled out in 31/2 hours or less (taking into account all of the time allowances set out above) in any particular innings, no account will be taken of the actual over rate in that innings when calculating the actual over rate at the end of the match.

The DRS includes: The process for the referral by the on-eld umpires of a decision to the third umpire and/or the consultation process (between the on-eld umpire(s) and the third umpire) initiated by the on-eld umpire(s) as set out in paragraph 2 below and which have been collectively termed in these playing conditions as an Umpire Review; and The process initiated by the players for the review of an on-eld umpires decision (by means of a consultation between the on-eld umpire(s) and the third umpire) as set out in paragraph 3 below and which has been termed in these playing conditions as the Player Review.

1.2 1.3

The Home Board will be required to ensure that the television technology specications set out in Appendix 2A(I) are provided. In particular, the Home Board is to ensure that a separate room is provided for the third umpire and that he has access to the television equipment and technology as specied in Appendix 2A(I) so as to be in the best position to facilitate the referral and/or consultation processes referred to in paragraphs 2 (Umpire Review) and 3 (Player Review) below. The ICC shall appoint an independent technology expert (ICC Technical Ofcial) to be present at every series to assist the third umpire and to protect the integrity of the DRS process.

1.4

UMPIRE REVIEW
In the circumstances detailed in paragraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 below, the on-eld umpire has the discretion whether to refer the decision to the third umpire or, in the case of 2.2.(a), to consult with the third umpire before making the decision and should take a common sense approach. Save for requesting the umpire to review his decision under paragraph 3 (Player Review) below, players may not appeal to the umpire to use the Umpire Review - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the player could be liable for discipline under the ICC Code of Conduct. The third umpire shall call for as many replays from any camera angle as is necessary to reach a decision. As a guide, a decision should be made within 30 seconds whenever possible, but the third umpire shall have the discretion to take more time. 2.1 Run Out, Stumping and Hit Wicket Decisions a) The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit wicket to the third umpire. b) An on-eld umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his hands. c) In the case of a referral of a hit wicket or stumping decision, the third umpire shall rst check the fairness of the delivery (fair delivery the feet or full toss above waist height). If the delivery was not a fair delivery he shall indicate that the batsman is not out and advise the on-eld umpire to signal no ball. See also paragraph 3.10 below.

d) If the third umpire decides the batsman is out a red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-eld umpires that the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision will be taken by the on-eld umpire. (As an alternative to the red/green light system and where available, the big replay screen may be used for the purpose of conveying the third umpires decision.) e) When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire believes that the batsman may instead be out by any other mode of dismissal, beyond that initially consulted upon, he shall initiate the process described in paragraph 3.3 below as if the batsman has been given not out. This will not count as a Player Review for the purposes of paragraph 3.5. 2.2 Caught Decisions In the event of an appeal for a caught decision: a) Clean Catches i. Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether or not a catch was taken cleanly, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire.

ii. Should both on-eld umpires be unable to make a decision, they may consult by two-way radio with the third umpire. Following such consultation, the nal decision will be made and given by the bowlers end umpire, who will take into account the on-eld umpires initial views and any other advice received from the third umpire. iii. The third umpire has to determine whether the batsman has been caught. However, in reviewing the television replay(s), the third umpire shall rst check the fairness of the delivery (fair delivery the feet or full toss above waist height) and whether the batsman has hit the ball. If the delivery was not a fair delivery or if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball he shall indicate to the on-eld umpire that the batsman is not out caught, and in the case of an unfair delivery, advise the on-eld umpire to signal no ball. See also paragraph 3.10 below. iv. When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire believes that the batsman may instead be out by any other mode of dismissal, beyond that initially consulted upon, he shall initiate the process described in paragraph 3.3 below as if the batsman has been given not out. This will not count as a Player Review for the purposes of paragraph 3.5. b) Bump Ball i. Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether a catch was taken from a bump ball or not, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire.

ii. Should both on-eld umpires be unable to make a decision, the bowlers end umpire shall be entitled to refer the decision to the third umpire to review a TV replay(s) of the batsmans stroke as in paragraph 2.1 (b). iii. The third umpire has to determine whether the ball was a bump ball or not. However, in reviewing the television replay(s), the third umpire shall rst check the fairness of the delivery (fair delivery the feet) and whether the batsman has hit the ball. If the delivery was not a fair delivery or if it is clear to the third umpire that the

87

03

STANDARD TEST MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

batsman did not hit the ball he shall indicate that the batsman is not out and, in the case of an unfair delivery, advise the on-eld umpire to signal no ball. See also paragraph 3.10 below. iv. The third umpire shall communicate his decision by the system as in paragraph 2.1 (d). v. When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire believes that the batsman may instead be out by any other mode of dismissal, beyond that initially consulted upon, he shall initiate the process described in paragraph 3.3 below as if the batsman has been given not out. This will not count as a Player Review for the purposes of paragraph 3.5.

2.3

Boundary Decisions a) The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer to the third umpire for a decision about whether the eldsman had any part of his person in contact with the ball when he touched the boundary or when he had any part of his person grounded beyond the boundary, or whether a four or six had been scored. A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter. Note: If the television evidence is inconclusive as to whether or not a boundary has been scored, the status quo will remain, and it shall be treated as runs scored by the batting side. b) An on-eld umpire wishing the assistance of the third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the on-eld umpire by this method. c) The third umpire may initiate contact with the on-eld umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows a boundary line infringement or incident that appears not to have been acted upon by the on-eld umpires.

2.4

Batsmen Running to the Same End a) In the event of both batsmen running to the same end and the umpires are uncertain over which batsmen made his ground rst, the on-eld umpire may refer the decision to the third umpire. b) The procedure in paragraph 2.3 (b) shall apply.

PLAYER REVIEW
The following clauses shall operate in addition to and in conjunction with paragraph 2 (Umpire Review). 3.1 Circumstances in which a Player Review may be requested a) A player may request a review of any decision taken by the on-eld umpires concerning whether or not a batsman is dismissed, with the exception of Timed Out (Player Review). b) For the avoidance of doubt, no other decisions made by the umpires are eligible for a Player Review. c) Only the batsman involved in a dismissal may request a Player Review of an Out decision and only the captain (or acting captain) of the elding team may request a Player Review of a Not Out decision. d) A decision concerning whether or not a batsman is dismissed that could have been the subject of a Umpire Review under paragraph 2 is eligible for a Player Review as soon as it is clear that the on-eld umpire has chosen not to initiate the Umpire Review.

88

STANDARD TEST MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

3.2 The manner of requesting the Player Review

03

a) The request should be made by the player making a T sign with both forearms at head height. b) The total time elapsed between the ball becoming dead and the review request being made should be no more than 15 seconds. The on-eld umpire should provide the player with a prompt after 10 seconds if the request has not been made at that time and the player should request the review immediately thereafter. If the umpires believe that a request has not been made within the 15 second time frame, they will decline to review the decision. c) The captain may consult with the bowler and other elders or the two batsmen may consult with each other prior to deciding whether to request a Player Review. However in order to meet the requirement of (b) above, such consultation will need to occur almost instantly and be very brief. Under no circumstances is any player permitted to query an umpire about any aspect of a decision before deciding on whether or not to request a Player Review. If the umpires believe that the captain or batsman has received direct or indirect input emanating other than from the players on the eld, then they may at their discretion decline the request for a Player Review. In particular, signals from the dressing room must not be given. d) No replays, either at normal speed or slow motion, should be shown on a big screen to spectators until the time allowed for the requesting of a Player Review has elapsed. See also paragraph 3.11 below. e) If either on-eld umpire initiates an Umpire Review under paragraph 2, this does not preclude a player seeking a Player Review of a separate incident from the same delivery. The Player Review request may be made after the Umpire Review provided it is still within the timescale described in (b) above. (See 3.8 (b) and 3.8 (c) below for the process for addressing both an Umpire and Player Review) f) A request for a Player Review may not be withdrawn once it has been made. 3.3 The process of consultation a) On receipt of an eligible and timely request for a Player Review, the on-eld umpire will make the sign of a television with his hands in the normal way. b) He will initiate communication with the third umpire by conrming the decision that has been made and that the player has requested a Player Review. c) The third umpire must then work alone, independent of outside help or comment, other than when consulting the on-eld umpire. d) A two-way consultation process should begin to investigate whether there is anything that the third umpire can see or hear which would indicate that the on-eld umpire should change his decision. e) This consultation should be on points of fact, where possible phrased in a manner leading to yes or no answers. Questions requiring a single answer based on a series of judgements, such as do you think that was LBW? are to be avoided.

89

03

STANDARD TEST MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

f) The third umpire shall not withhold any factual information which may help in the decision making process, even if the information is not directly prompted by the on-eld umpires questions. In particular, in reviewing a dismissal, if the third umpire believes that the batsman may instead be out by any other mode of dismissal, he shall advise the on-eld umpire accordingly. The process of consultation described in this paragraph in respect of such other mode of dismissal shall then be conducted as if the batsman has been given not out. g) The third umpire should initially check whether the delivery is fair under Law 24.5 (fair delivery the feet) and under Clause 42.4.2(a) (full toss passing above waist height), where appropriate advising the on-eld umpire accordingly. See also paragraph 3.10 below. h) If despite the available technology, the third umpire is unable to answer with a high degree of condence a particular question posed by the on-eld umpire, then he should report that the replays are inconclusive. The third umpire should not give answers conveying likelihoods or probabilities. i) Subject to paragraph 3.3 (j) below, specically when advising on LBW decisions, the requirement for a high degree of condence should be interpreted as follows: i) With regard to determining the point of pitching the evidence provided by technology should be regarded as denitive and the Laws as interpreted in clause 3.9 (a) below should be strictly applied. If a not out decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the point of impact is between wicket and wicket (i.e. in line with the stumps), the evidence provided by technology should show that the centre of the ball at the moment of interception is between wicket and wicket. If an out decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the point of impact is not between wicket and wicket (i.e. outside the line of the stumps), the evidence provided by technology should show that no part of the ball at the moment of interception is between wicket and wicket.

ii) With regard to the point of impact

iii) With regard to determining whether the ball was likely to have hit the stumps: If a not out decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the ball is hitting the stumps, the evidence provided by technology should show that the centre of the ball would have hit the stumps within an area demarcated by a line drawn below the lower edge of the bails and down the middle of the outer stumps. However, in instances where the evidence shows that the ball would have hit the stumps within the demarcated area as set out above but that the point of impact is greater than 250 cm from the stumps and/or that the distance between the point of pitching and point of impact is less than 40cm, the third umpire shall notify the on-eld umpire of: a) The distance from the wickets to the point of impact with the batsman b) The approximate distance from point of pitching to point of impact c) Where the ball is predicted to hit the stumps.

90

STANDARD TEST MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

03

In such a case, the on-eld umpire shall have regard to the normal cricketing principles concerning the level of certainty in making his decision as to whether to change his decision. If an out decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the ball is missing the stumps, the evidence of the technology should show that no part of the ball would have made contact with any part of the stumps or bails.

j)

In circumstances where the television technology (all or parts thereof) is not available to the third umpire or fails for whatever reason, the third umpire shall advise the on-eld umpire of this fact but still provide any relevant factual information that may be ascertained from the available television replays and other technology. See also paragraph 3.5 (d).

k) The on-eld umpire must then make his decision based on those factual questions that were answered by the third umpire, any other factual information offered by the third umpire and his recollection and opinion of the original incident. l) The on-eld umpire will reverse his decision if the nature of the supplementary information received from the third umpire leads him to conclude that his original decision was incorrect.

3.4

The process for communicating the nal decision a) When the on-eld umpire has reached a decision, he should advise the TV director (directly or via the third umpire). b) For Player Reviews concerning potential dismissals, he should then indicate Out by raising his nger above his head in a normal yet prominent manner or indicate Not Out by the call of not out and by crossing his hands in a horizontal position side to side in front and above his waist three times (as per a safe decision in baseball). Where the decision is a reversal of the on-eld umpires previous decision, he should make the revoke last signal indication immediately prior to the above. c) If the mode of dismissal is not obvious or not the same as that on which the original decision was based, then the umpire should advise the ofcial scorers via the third umpire.

3.5

Number of Player Review requests permitted a) Each team is allowed to make two unsuccessful Player Review requests per innings. If a Player Review results in the umpire reversing his original decision, then the request has been successful and does not count towards the innings limit. If the umpires decision is unchanged, the Player Review is unsuccessful. After two unsuccessful requests by one team, no further Player Review requests will be allowed by that team during the current innings. b) If following a Player Review, an umpire upholds a decision of Out, but for a different mode of dismissal from that for which the original decision was given, then the request will still be regarded as unsuccessful. c) If following a Player Review, an umpire upholds a decision of Not Out on account of the delivery being a no ball for any reason, thereby not requiring any review of the balls subsequent trajectory, then this will not be counted as an unsuccessful request and not count towards the innings limit.

91

03

STANDARD TEST MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

d) If a Player Review and an Umpire Review occur from the same delivery and the decision from the Umpire Review renders the Player Review unnecessary (see 3.8 (b) and 3.8 (c)), then the Player Review request will be ignored and not be counted as unsuccessful. e) An unsuccessful review may be re-instated by the Match Referee at his sole discretion (if appropriate after consultation with the ICC Technical Ofcial and/or the television broadcast director), if the review could not properly be concluded due to a failure of the technology. Any such decision shall be nal and should be taken as soon as possible once all the relevant facts have been ascertained by the Match Referee. An unsuccessful review shall not be re-instated if, despite any technical failures, the correct decision could still have been made using the other available technology. Similarly, no reinstatement shall be made where the technology worked as intended, but the evidence gleaned from its use was inconclusive. f) The third umpire shall be responsible for counting the number of unsuccessful Player Reviews and advising the on-eld umpires once either team has exhausted their allowance for that innings. g) The scoreboard shall display, for the innings in progress, the number of Player Reviews remaining available to each team.

3.6

Dead ball a) If following a Player Review request, an original decision of Out is changed to Not Out, then the ball is still deemed to have become dead when the original decision was made (as per Law 23.1(a)(iii)). The batting side, while beneting from the reversal of the dismissal, will not benet from any runs that may subsequently have accrued from the delivery had the on-eld umpire originally made a Not Out decision, other than any No Balls penalty that could arise under 3.3 (g) above. b) If an original decision of Not Out is changed to Out, the ball will retrospectively be deemed to have become dead from the moment of the dismissal event. All subsequent events, including any runs scored, are ignored.

3.7

Use of technology a) The following technology may be used by the third umpire. Slow motion replays from all available cameras Super slow motion replays from all available cameras Ultra motion camera replays from all available cameras Sound from the stump microphones with the replays at normal speed and slow motion Approved ball tracking technology The mat, generated by the provider of ball tracking technology, not by the broadcaster Hot Spot cameras

In addition, other forms of technology may be used subject to ICC being satised that the required standards of accuracy and time efciency can be met. b) Where practical usage or further testing indicates that any of the above forms of technology cannot reliably provide accurate and timely information, then it may be removed prior to or during a match. The nal decision regarding the technology to be used in a given match will be taken by the ICC Match Referee in consultation with the ICC Technical Ofcial, ICC Management and the competing teams governing bodies.

3.8 Combining Umpire Reviews with Player Reviews

03

a) If an Umpire Review (under Clause 2) and a Player Review request are made following the same delivery but relating to separate modes of dismissal, the following procedure shall apply. b) The Umpire Review should be carried out prior to the Player Review if all of the following conditions apply: i) The Player Review has been requested by the elding side ii) The Umpire Review and the Player Review both relate to the dismissal of the same batsman iii) If the batsman is out, the number of runs scored from the delivery would be the same for both modes of dismissal iv) If the batsman is out, the batsman on strike for the next delivery would be the same for both modes of dismissal. c) If the Umpire Review leads the third umpire to make a decision of Out, then this will be displayed in the usual manner and the Player Review will not be performed. If the Umpire Review results in a not out decision, then the third umpire will make no public decision but proceed to address the Player Review request. For illustration, following an unsuccessful lbw appeal, the striker sets off for a run, is sent back and there is an appeal for his run out. The players request that the lbw decision is reviewed and the umpires request that the run out be reviewed. The four criteria above are satised, so the run out referral is determined rst. Should the appeal for run out be Out, then there is no requirement for the lbw review to take place. d) In all other circumstances, the two incidents shall be addressed in chronological order. If the conclusion from the rst incident is that a batsman is dismissed, then the ball would be deemed to have become dead at that point, rendering investigation of the second incident unnecessary. 3.9 Interpretation of Laws a) When using technology to determine where the ball pitched (as per Law 36.1(b)), the third umpire should refer to the point (or centre) of the ball. Therefore if at least 50% of the ball pitches outside the line of leg stump, then no LBW dismissal is possible. b) When using a replay to determine the moment at which the wicket has been put down (as per Law 28.1), the third umpire should deem this to be the rst frame in which one of the bails is shown (or can be deduced) to have lost all contact with the top of the stumps and subsequent frames show the bail permanently removed from the top of the stumps. 3.10 No Balls Following any mode of dismissal that is not permitted off a no ball and which is not the subject of an Umpire or Player Review, if the on-eld umpire is uncertain as the fairness of the delivery (foot-fault only), he shall be entitled to request the batsman to delay leaving the eld and to check the fairness of the delivery (foot-fault only) with the third umpire. Consultation with the third umpire shall be by way of two way radio. If the delivery was not a fair delivery the on-eld umpire shall indicate that the batsman is not-out and signal no-ball.

RUN OUT, STUMPING AND HIT WICKET DECISIONS

2.1 2.2 2.3 The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit wicket to the third umpire. An on-eld umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his hands. If the third umpire decides the batsman is out a red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-eld umpires that the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision will be taken by the on-eld umpire. (As an alternative to the red/green light system and where available, the big screen may be used for the purpose of conveying the third umpires decision.) When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire nds the batsman has been bowled rather than hit wicket or stumped, he shall indicate that the batsman was dismissed. See also paragraph 6 below.

A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter. An on-eld umpire wishing the assistance of the third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the on-eld umpire by this method.

Calculation Template for Last Day of Test Match This template applies to any interruption on the last day which causes a loss in actual playing time, (i.e. an interruption longer than the amount of extra time available) and where play resumes after the scheduled tea interval. Where play resumes prior to tea, then the calculation of overs remaining in the day is performed as per Days 1-4, with the scheduled time for the last hour affected only by the adding of any extra time. Lines A, B, C, D and E should be completed at the start of an interruption on the nal day. If play resumes without any lost playing time, or prior to the tea interval, then this sheet can be discarded. Once the length of interruption exceeds D and actual playing time is lost, then line F can be completed Lines G and H can be completed immediately if the interruption starts after tea, otherwise as soon as the interruption includes the tea interval. A Start of interruption B Minimum overs remaining before start of last hour as at time A (See Note 1) C Time required to bowl minimum overs @ 4 mins per over (B x 4) D Extra time available as at time A E Scheduled time for last hour as at time A F Rescheduled time for last hour (Time basis) (D + E) G Length of intervals covered by interruption: enter 40 (lunch), 20 (tea), 60 (both) or 0 (neither) H Rescheduled time for last hour (Overs basis) (A + C + D + G) I Later of F and H above J Time play resumes ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________

Note 1: If an interruption occurs part-way through an over, in Row B enter the number of full overs remaining, ignoring the part over. Then in Row M, add back the part over to the minimum overs to be bowled on resumption. Note 2: The actual overs lost for a given interruption will also reect any earlier interruptions in the day, so that one over is lost in the day for each full four minutes of aggregated playing time lost. For example, 15 minutes loses 3 overs, but another 15 minute delay loses 4 overs.

Laws 3.8 & 3.9 shall be replaced by: 3.5.2 The umpires shall be the nal judges of the tness of the ground, weather and light for play.

See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch). If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the elders of the power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place. The umpires shall disregard any shadow on the pitch from the stadium or from any permanent object on the ground. c) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions. They shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that conditions are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game. If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place.

Advertising on perimeter boards behind the stumps at both ends shall not contain moving, ashing or ickering images and operators should ensure that the images are only changed or moved at a time that will not be distracting to the players or the umpires. In addition, the brightness of any electronic images shall be set at a level so that it is not a distraction to the players or umpires. Sightscreens shall be provided at both ends of all grounds. Advertising shall be permitted on the sightscreen behind the striker, providing it is removed for the subsequent over from that end.

ii) If more than 15 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the interval will be reduced to 30 minutes (subject to (iii) below). iii) If more than 60 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the interval of 30 minutes prescribed under (ii) above may be reduced further by mutual agreement between the umpires and both captains. In the event of disagreement, the length of the interval shall be determined by the ICC Match Referee. The minimum interval shall be ten minutes.

21 LAW 21 - THE RESULT

Law 21 shall apply subject to the following: 21.1 Law 21.1 - A win - two innings match Law 21.1 shall not apply. 21.2 Law 21.2 - A win - one innings match Law 21.2 shall apply in addition to the following: 21.2.1 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing teams refusal to play (Law 21.3), a result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 20 overs, unless one team has been all out in less than 20 overs or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 20 overs. 21.2.2 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing teams refusal to play (Law 21.3), all matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a minimum of 20 overs, shall be declared no result. 21.3 Law 21.3 Umpire (ICC Match Referee) awarding a match Law 21.3 shall be replaced by the following: a) A match shall be lost by a side which either i) concedes defeat or ii) in the opinion of the ICC Match Referee refuses to play and the ICC Match Referee shall award the match to the other side. b) If an umpire considers that an action by any player or players might constitute a refusal by either side to play then the umpires together shall inform the ICC Match Referee of this fact. The ICC Match Referee shall together with the umpires ascertain the cause of the action. If the ICC Match Referee, after due consultation with the umpires, then decides that this action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, he shall so inform the captain of that side.

* N/B In addition to the consequences of any refusal to play prescribed under this clause, any such refusal, whether temporary or nal, may result in disciplinary action being taken against the captain and team responsible under the Code of Conduct 21.4 Law 21.4 Matches in which there is an agreement under Law 12.1 (b) Law 21.4 shall not apply. 21.5 Law 21.5 (a) - A Tie The following shall apply in addition to Law 21.5 (a): If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets which have fallen. 21.6 Law 21.5 (b) - A Draw Law 21.5 (b) shall not apply. 21.7 Prematurely Terminated Matches - Calculation of the Target Score 21.7.1 Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target Score If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 20 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis method. The target set will always be a whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie. (Refer Duckworth/ Lewis Regulations) 21.7.2 Prematurely Terminated Matches If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 20 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the match to be resumed, the match will be decided by comparison with the D/L Par Score determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth/ Lewis method (refer Duckworth/Lewis Regulations). If the score is equal to the par score, the match is a Tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or defeat, by the margin of runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the Par Score. 21.8 Law 21.8 - Correctness of result Any query on the result of the match as dened in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.5, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modied by these regulations) shall be resolved as soon as possible and a nal decision made by the umpires at close of play. 21.9 Points 21.9.1 Preliminary Matches In a competition with three or four Members with ODI status and with a nal match or series, the home Board will institute a points system as follows: Win, with bonus point ....................................................................................... 5 Win, without bonus point ............................................................................... 4 Tie or No Result ..................................................................................................... 2 Loss ............................................................................................................................ 0

In the event of teams nishing on equal points, the right to play in the nal match or series will be determined as follows:

The team with the most number of wins If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate

In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable. 21.9.2 Net Run Rate A teams net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition. In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed. Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the nal Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target. 21.9.3 Bonus Points The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point. A teams run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of overs faced.

If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker (the provisions of clause 41.2 shall apply).

The nature of such elding restrictions and the overs during which they shall apply (hereinafter referred to as the Powerplay Overs) are set out in the following paragraphs. 41.2.3 The following elding restrictions shall apply: a) Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the eld of play. The semi-circles shall have as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles shall be 30 yards (27.43 metres). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight

lines drawn on the eld. (Refer attached Appendix 5). The elding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or dots at 5 yard (4.57 metres) intervals, each dot to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. During the rst block of Powerplay Overs (as set out below), only two eldsmen shall be permitted outside this elding restriction area at the instant of delivery. During the second and third Powerplay blocks only three eldsmen shall be permitted outside the elding restriction area at the instant of delivery. b) Two inner circles shall be drawn on the eld of play. The circles shall have as their centres the centrepoint of the popping crease at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the circles shall be 15 yards (13.72 metres). These elding restriction areas should be marked by dots. The segment of the circles reserved for the slip positions shall not be demarcated (refer attached appendix 5). During the initial block of Powerplay Overs (in an uninterrupted innings, the rst 10), there must be a minimum of two stationary eldsmen within the applicable elding restriction area measured from the strikers end at the instant of delivery. When a fast bowler is bowling the two stationary eldsmen may be permitted to stand deeper than 15 yards (13.72 metres) (in the undemarcated area) provided only that they are standing in slip, leg slip or gully positions. 41.2.4 During the non Powerplay Overs, no more than 5 eldsmen shall be permitted outside the elding restriction area referred to in clause 41.2.3 (a) above. 41.2.5 Subject to the provisions of 41.2.6 below, the Powerplay Overs shall apply for 20 overs per innings to be taken as follows: a) The rst block of Powerplay Overs (block of 10 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be at the commencement of the innings. b) For the remaining second and third block of Powerplay Overs (blocks of 5 overs for an uninterrupted match), one block shall be taken at the discretion of the elding captain and the other at the discretion of either of the batsmen at the wicket. c) A batsman must nominate his teams Powerplay no later than the moment at which the umpire reaches the stumps at the bowlers end for the start of the next over. The elding captain may nominate his teams Powerplay any time prior to the commencement of the over. The umpire who will stand at the bowlers end for the commencement of a Powerplay block shall determine which side rst made the request. d) Once a side has nominated a Powerplay, the decision can not be reversed. e) Should either team choose not to exercise their discretion, their Powerplay Overs will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. in an uninterrupted innings, one unclaimed Powerplay will begin at the start of the 46th over).

41.2.6 In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of Powerplay Overs shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the match.
INNINGS DURATION 20 - 21 22 - 23 24 26 27 - 28 29 31 32 33 34 36 37 38 39 41 42 43 44 46 47 48 49 FIRST POWERPLAY 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 FIELDING POWERPLAY 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 BATTING POWERPLAY 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 PORWERPLAY TOTAL 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

41.2.7 Each block of Powerplay Overs must commence at the start of an over. 41.2.8 If play is interrupted not during the Powerplay overs, then on resumption, it is necessary to determine how any remaining Powerplay overs should be allocated. The total number of Powerplay overs for the innings is derived from the table in 41.2.6. Any Powerplay overs already taken prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been in sequence: the initial allocation, the elding sides allocation then the batting sides allocation. The decision of the batting side, and if applicable of the elding side, of when to take any remaining Powerplay overs, is made in the usual way. Illustrations of 41.2.8: A match starts as 40 overs; with the rst 8 as Powerplays (PP). The next two overs are not PP, the match is then delayed after 10 overs and shortened to 30 overs. The new PP allocation is 6+3+3, we have had 8 PP overs, so there is one over of elding side selection left and all three overs for the batting sides. Both teams can choose when to use their respective 1 and 3 over allocations. As above but the match resumes as 23 overs each The PP allocation is now 5+2+2, so one batting side PP over remains to be taken at their discretion. 41.2.9 If play is interrupted during the rst or second Powerplay and on resumption the overs required to be bowled in that Powerplay have already been exceeded, then subsequent Powerplay(s) will assume to have been taken consecutively up to that point. 41.2.10 If play is interrupted during the rst Powerplay and resumes during the second Powerplay, the second Powerplay will be deemed to have been nominated by the elding captain.

122

41.2.11 If following an interruption, on resumption the total number of Powerplay overs for the innings has already been exceeded, then there will be no further Powerplay deliveries bowled in the innings. Note that this is the only circumstance under which the Powerplay status can be changed during an over. Illustrations of 41.2.9, 41.2.10 and 41.2.11 A 50 over innings is interrupted after 9.3 overs, and on resumption has been reduced to (a) 38 overs, (b) 28 overs, (c) 20 overs. a) Powerplay overs are 8+4+3. 2nd Powerplay is in progress with 1.3 out of the elding teams 4 overs completed. The batting sides 3 over Powerplay can start any time after the 12th over. Powerplay overs are 6+3+2. 3rd Powerplay is in progress with 0.3 out of 2 overs completed. Powerplay overs are 4+2+2. All Powerplay overs have been completed. Non-Powerplay restrictions take effect immediately and do not need to wait until the end of the over.

b) c)

41.2.12 If following an interruption while a Powerplay is not in progress, it is found on resumption that the recalculated number of Powerplay overs remaining equals or exceeds the number of overs to be bowled in the innings, then the Powerplays will commence at the start of the next over. Illustration of 41.2.12: A 50 over innings in which only the 1st Powerplay has been taken is interrupted after 34.2 overs and reduced to 40 overs. Powerplay overs are 8+4+4. Powerplays automatically resume for the start of the next over (36th) and remain in force for the remainder of the innings. 41.2.13 At the commencement of each discretionary block of Powerplay Overs, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle. If the batting side has chosen the Powerplay the umpire shall signal this to the scorers by tapping his hands above his head after the signal. 41.2.14 The umpire shall also indicate to the elding captain before any signal is made that the batting side has chosen its Powerplay. 41.2.15 A light or other indicator shall be displayed on the scoreboard whenever the Powerplay Overs are being bowled, along with the number of overs remaining in the current block of Powerplay Overs. 41.2.16 The public address system shall be used to keep the spectators informed. 41.2.17 In the event of an infringement of any of the above elding restrictions, the square leg umpire shall call and signal No Ball.

In addition, for the purpose of this regulation and subject to Clause 42.4.1 (f) below, a ball that passes above head height of the batsman, that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called a wide. For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is called a wide under this playing condition shall also count as the allowable short pitched delivery in that over

In the event of a bowler bowling more than one fast short-pitched delivery in an over as dened in Clause 42.4.1 (b) above, the umpire at the bowlers end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. A differential signal shall be used to signify a fast short pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal no ball and then tap the head with the other hand. If a bowler delivers a second fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of no ball and when the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the elding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings. If there is a second instance of the bowler being no balled in the innings for bowling more than one fast short pitched delivery in an over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his nal warning for the innings. Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings. The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side. The umpires will then report the matter to the ICC Match Referee who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned.

Bonus Point System 1 bonus point for any team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25 times that of the opposition. A teams run rate will be calculated by reference to the number of runs scored divided by the number of overs.balls faced. Where a side is all out, the number of overs to be used is the maximum number of overs that side was otherwise eligible to face. Where matches are shortened and targets revised through the Duckworth/Lewis system, bonus run rates and bonus defensive targets are derived as a function of the revised target score (less one run) and maximum overs. Whenever a target, or revised target, is set, the exact number of overs.balls within which the side batting second must achieve this target in order to gain the bonus point should be announced. Once these overs.balls have been bowled, if the target has not then been achieved the bonus point can not be gained by any subsequent event, eg a multiple scoring shot, or extras.

Third Umpire TV Replay System Playing Conditions

Save with the express written consent of the Chief Executive Ofcer of the ICC the Home Board will ensure the live television broadcast of all ODI Matches played in its country. Where matches are broadcast the camera specication set out in Appendix 7A shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement. Where matches are not broadcast the camera specications set out in Appendix 7B shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement. The Home Board will ensure a separate room is provided for the third umpire and that he has access to a television monitor and direct sound link with the television control broadcast director to facilitate as many replays as is necessary to assist him in making a decision. The provisions of clauses 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 above shall not apply for series between a Full Member country and Associate Member countries (whose matches have been granted ODI status) and for series between such Associate Member countries. In the circumstances detailed in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 below, the on-eld umpire has the discretion whether to refer the decision to the third umpire or, in the case of paragraph 3.1, to consult with the third umpire before making his decision and should take a common sense approach. Players may not appeal to the umpire to use the replay system - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the player could be liable for discipline under the ICC Code of Conduct.

The third umpire shall call for as many replays from any camera angle as is necessary to reach a decision. As a guide, a decision should be made within 30 seconds whenever possible, but the third umpire shall have a discretion to take more time in order to nalise a decision.

RUN OUT, STUMPING AND HIT WICKET DECISIONS

2.1 2.2 The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit wicket to the third umpire. An on-eld umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his hands. If the third umpire decides the batsman is out a red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-eld umpires that the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision will be taken by the on-eld umpire. (As an alternative to the red/green light system and where available, the big screen may be used for the purpose of conveying the third umpires decision.) When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire nds the batsman has been bowled rather than hit wicket or stumped, he shall indicate that the batsman was dismissed. See also paragraph 6 below.

Following such consultation, the nal decision will be made and given by the bowlers end umpire, who will take into account the on-eld umpires initial views and any other advice received from the third umpire. c) The third umpire has to determine whether the batsman has been caught. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsman is not out. See also paragraph 6 below. d) The nal decision shall be indicated in the normal fashion by the bowlers end umpire. 3.2 Bump Ball a) Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether a catch was taken from a bump ball or not, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire b) Should both on-eld umpires be unable to make a decision, the bowlers end umpire shall be entitled to refer the decision to the third umpire to review a TV replay(s) of the batsmans stroke as in paragraph 2.2. c) The third umpire has to determine whether the ball was a bump ball or not. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsmen is not out. See also paragraph 6 below. d) The third umpire shall communicate his decision by the system as in paragraph 2.3.

BOUNDARY DECISIONS
4.1 The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer to the third umpire for a decision about whether the eldsman had any part of his person in contact with the ball when he touched the boundary or when he had any part of his person grounded beyond the boundary, or whether a four or six had been scored. A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter. An on-eld umpire wishing the assistance of the third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the on-eld umpire by this method. The third umpire may initiate contact with the on-eld umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows a boundary line infringement or incident that appears not to have been acted upon by the on-eld umpires.

Law 3.8 - Fitness for play and Law 3.9 - Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable conditions 3.5.1 The safety of all persons within the ground is of paramount importance to the ICC.

Laws 3.8 & 3.9 shall be replaced by: 3.5.2 The umpires shall be the nal judges of the tness of the ground, weather and light for play.

STANDARD TWENTY20 INTERNATIONAL MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS

3.5.3 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light a) b) All references to ground include the pitch. See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch). If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the elders of the power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place. The umpires shall disregard any shadow on the pitch from the stadium or from any permanent object on the ground. c) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions. They shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that conditions are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game. If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place.

d)

3.5.4 Play may be suspended due to safety and security concerns by the umpires on the advice of the ICC Match Referee, the head of the relevant ground authority, the head of ground security or the police. 3.5.5 Where play is suspended under Clause 3.5.4 above the decision to abandon or resume play shall be the responsibility of the ICC Match Referee who shall act only after consultation with the head of ground security and the police. 3.6 Light Meters 3.6.1 It is the responsibility of the ICC to supply light meters to the match ofcials to be used in accordance with these playing conditions.

3.6.2 All light meters shall be uniformly calibrated. 3.6.3 The umpires shall be entitled to use light meter readings as a guideline for determining whether the light is t for play in accordance with the criteria set out in clause 3.5.3 (b) above. 3.6.4 Light meter readings may accordingly be used by the umpires: a) b) To determine whether there has been at any stage a deterioration or improvement in the light. As benchmarks for the remainder of a stoppage, match and/ or series/event.

Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored.

ii) In addition, should the innings of the team batting rst have been completed prior to the scheduled, or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings started early has elapsed. iii) To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 overs have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to the innings not being completed earlier. iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the rst team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs. v) A xed time will be specied for the close of play by applying a rate of 15 overs per hour. The timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours and interruptions in play, will be taken into consideration in specifying this time. vi) If the team elding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of play, the hours of play shall be extended until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved. vii) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer ICC Code of Conduct). 12.5 Extra Time The participating countries may agree to provide for extra time where the start of play is delayed or play is suspended.

Where the total overs is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance. In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowlers limit is concerned. The scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled and the number of overs bowled by each bowler. 12.7 Law 12.4 The toss Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following: The captains shall toss for the choice of innings, on the eld of play and in the presence of the ICC Match Referee, who shall supervise the toss.

In circumstances where the side bowling rst has not completed the allotted number of overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled cessation time for the rst innings, the umpires shall reduce the length of the interval by the amount of time that the rst innings over-ran. The minimum time for the interval will be 10 minutes. However, following a lengthy delay or interruption prior to the completion of the innings of the team batting rst, the Match Referee may, at his discretion, reduce the interval between innings from 20 minutes to not less than 10 minutes. Such discretion should only be exercised after determining the adjusted overs per side based on a 20 minute interval. If having exercised this discretion, the rescheduled nishing time for the match is earlier than the latest possible nishing time, then these minutes should be deducted from the length of any interruption during the second innings before determining the overs remaining.

42.1 Law 42.3 - The Match Ball - changing its condition Law 42.3 shall apply, subject to the following: Law 42.3 (d) and (e) shall be replaced with the following: If the umpires together agree that the deterioration in the condition of the ball is greater than is consistent with the use it has received, they shall consider that there has been a contravention of this Law. They shall: a) Change the ball forthwith. The batsman at the wicket shall choose the replacement ball from a selection of six other balls of various degrees of usage (including a new ball) and of the same brand as the ball in use prior to the contravention.

Additionally the bowlers end umpire shall: b) Award 5 penalty runs to the batting side. c) Inform the captain of the elding side of the reason for the action taken. d) Inform the captain of the batting side as soon as practicable of what has occurred. e) Together with the other umpire report the incident to the ICC Match Referee who shall take action as is appropriate against the player(s) responsible for the conduct under the ICC Code of Conduct. If the ICC Match Referee is unable to identify the player(s) responsible for such conduct, the captain shall take responsibility and will be subject to such action as is appropriate under the ICC Code of Conduct.

42.2 Law 42.4 - Deliberate attempt to distract striker Law 42.4 shall apply subject to the following: In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the ICC Match Referee under the ICC Code of Conduct. 42.3 Law 42.5 - Deliberate distraction or obstruction of batsman Law 42.5 shall apply subject to the following: In addition, the umpire shall report the incident to the ICC Match Referee under the ICC Code of Conduct. 42.4 Law 42.6 - Dangerous and Unfair Bowling 42.4.1 Law 42.6 (a) - The Bowling of Fast Short Pitched Balls Law 42.6 (a) shall be replaced by the following: a) b) A bowler shall be limited to one fast short-pitched delivery per over. A fast short-pitched delivery is dened as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease. The umpire at the bowlers end shall advise the bowler and the batsman on strike when each fast short pitched delivery has been bowled. In addition, for the purpose of this regulation and subject to Clause 42.4.1 (f) below, a ball that passes above head height of the batsman, that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called a wide. For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is called a wide under this playing condition shall also count as the allowable short pitched delivery in that over In the event of a bowler bowling more than one fast short-pitched delivery in an over as dened in Clause 42.4.1 (b) above, the umpire at the bowlers end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. A differential signal shall be used to signify a fast short pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal no ball and then tap the head with the other hand. If a bowler delivers a second fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of no ball and when the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the elding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings.

The above is not a substitute for Clause 42.5 below which umpires are able to apply at any time. 42.4.2 Law 42.6 (b) Bowling of High Full Pitched Balls Law 42.6 (b) shall be replaced by the following: a) Any delivery which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is deemed unfair, whether or not it is likely to inict physical injury on the striker. b) In the event of a bowler bowling a high full pitched ball as dened in Clause 42.4.2 (a) above, the umpire at the bowlers end shall call and signal no ball. If, in the opinion of the umpire, such a delivery is considered likely to inict physical injury on the batsman, the umpire at the bowlers end shall, in addition to calling and signalling no ball, when the ball is dead, caution the bowler and issue a rst and nal warning. The umpire shall inform the other umpire, the captain of the elding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. c) Should there be any further instance (where a high full pitched ball is bowled and is considered likely to inict physical injury on the batsman) by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall, in addition to calling and signalling no ball, when the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. d) The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings.

The relative skill of the striker shall also be taken into consideration. 42.5.2 In the event of such unfair bowling, the umpire at the bowlers end shall adopt the following procedure: a) In the rst instance the umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution the bowler and inform the other umpire, the captain of the elding side and the batsmen of what has occurred. If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the bowler that this is a nal warning. Both the above caution and nal warning shall continue to apply even though the bowler may later change ends. Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. See Law 22.8. (Bowler Incapacitated or Suspended during an Over). The bowler thus taken off shall not be able to bowl again in that innings. The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.

Third Umpire TV Replay System Playing Conditions

Save with the express written consent of the Chief Executive Ofcer of the ICC the Home Board will ensure the live television broadcast of all T20I matches played in its country. Where matches are broadcast the camera specication set out in Appendix 6A shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement. Where matches are not broadcast the camera specications set out in Appendix 6B shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement. The Home Board will ensure a separate room is provided for the third umpire and that he has access to a television monitor and direct sound link with the television control broadcast director to facilitate as many replays as is necessary to assist him in making a decision. The provisions of clauses 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 above shall not apply for series between a Full Member country and Associate Member countries (whose matches have been granted ODI status) and for series between such Associate Member countries. In the circumstances detailed in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 below, the on-eld umpire has the discretion whether to refer the decision to the third umpire or, in the case of paragraph 3.1, to consult with the third umpire before making his decision and should take a common sense approach. Players may not appeal to the umpire to use the replay system - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the player could be liable for discipline under the ICC Code of Conduct.

The third umpire shall call for as many replays from any camera angle as is necessary to reach a decision. As a guide, a decision should be made within 30 seconds whenever possible, but the third umpire shall have a discretion to take more time in order to nalise a decision.

RUN OUT, STUMPING AND HIT WICKET DECISIONS

2.1 2.2 2.3 The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit wicket to the third umpire. An on-eld umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his hands. If the third umpire decides the batsman is out a red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-eld umpires that the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision will be taken by the on-eld umpire. (As an alternative to the red/green light system and where available, the big screen may be used for the purpose of conveying the third umpires decision.) When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire nds the batsman has been bowled rather than hit wicket or stumped, he shall indicate that the batsman was dismissed. See also paragraph 6 below.

CAUGHT DECISIONS
The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a caught decision to the third umpire in the following circumstances: Clean Catches a) Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether or not a catch was taken cleanly, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire. b) Should both umpires be unable to make a decision, they may consult by two-way radio with the third umpire. Following such consultation, the nal decision will be made and given by the bowlers end umpire, who will take into account the on-eld umpires initial views and any other advice received from the third umpire. c) The third umpire has to determine whether the batsman has been caught. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsman is not out. See also paragraph 6 below. The nal decision shall be indicated in the normal fashion by the bowlers end umpire. 3.2 Bump Ball a) Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether a catch was taken from a bump ball or not, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire b) Should both on-eld umpires be unable to make a decision, the bowlers end umpire shall be entitled to refer the decision to the third umpire to review a TV replay(s) of the batsmans stroke as in paragraph 2.2. c) The third umpire has to determine whether the ball was a bump ball or not. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsmen is not out. See also paragraph 6 below. d) The third umpire shall communicate his decision by the system as in paragraph 2.3.

BOUNDARY DECISIONS
4.1 The on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer to the third umpire for a decision about whether the eldsman had any part of his person in contact with the ball when he touched the boundary or when he had any part of his person grounded beyond the boundary, or whether a four or six had been scored. A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter. An on-eld umpire wishing the assistance of the third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the on-eld umpire by this method. The third umpire may initiate contact with the on-eld umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows a boundary line infringement or incident that appears not to have been acted upon by the on-eld umpires.

Procedure for the One Over Per Side Eliminator The following procedure will apply should the provision for a one over per side eliminator be adopted in any match. 1 Subject to weather conditions the one over per side eliminator will take place on the scheduled day of the match at a time to be determined by the ICC Match Referee. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match. The amount of extra time allocated to the Oopse is the greater of (a) the extra time allocated to the original match less the amount of extra time actually utilised and (b) the gap between the actual end of the match and the time the original match would have been scheduled to nish had the whole of the extra time provision been utilised. Should play be delayed prior to or during the Oopse, once the playing time lost exceeds the extra time allocated, the Oopse shall be abandoned. See clause 15. The one over per side eliminator will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground authority and the ICC Match Referee. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they nished the match. The umpires shall choose which end to bowl and both teams will bowl from the same end. Prior to the commencement of the one over per side eliminator each team elects three batsmen and one bowler. The nominated players are given in writing to the ICC Match Referee. The ICC Match Referee shall not disclose the names of the nominated players to any other person until both teams have submitted their respective nominees. Each teams over is played with the same elding restrictions as apply for the last over in a normal T20 International match. The team batting second in the match will bat rst in the one over eliminator. The same ball (or a ball of a similar age if the original ball is out of shape or lost) as used at the end of the teams innings shall be used for the extra over. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the teams one over innings. In the event of the teams having the same score after the one over per side eliminator has been completed, the team whose batsmen hit the most number of boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main match and the one over per side eliminator shall be the winner. If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batsmen scored more boundaries during its innings in the main match (ignoring the over per side eliminator) shall be the winner. If still equal, a count-back from the nal ball of the one over eliminator shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls. Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is dened as the total team runs scored since the completion of the previous legitimate ball, i.e including any runs resulting from wides, no ball or penalty runs.

In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However team 1 scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner. 15 Clause 2 examples: Scheduled nish 5.00, 30 minutes extra time available, so scheduled nish time if the whole of the extra time provision is utilised is 5.30. a) No extra time is utilised in the original match which overruns ten minutes and nishes at 5.10. The Oopse is scheduled to start at 5.20 with 30 minutes extra time available. It starts on time but is interrupted at 5.25. Play must resume by 5.55 otherwise the Oopse is abandoned.

b) 20 minutes of extra time was utilised, with the match scheduled to nish at 5.20, but it actually nishes at 5.10. Therefore the extra time allocated to the Oopse is the greater of a) 10 minutes (30 minutes extra time less 20 already utilised) and b) 20 minutes (the gap from the actual nish time of 5.10 and the scheduled nish had the full extra time been utilised of 5.30). The Oopse was due to start at 5.20, but is delayed by rain. It must therefore start by 5.40 or the Oopse is abandoned. c) The match nishes at 5.40 (having started 30 minutes late and overrun by 10 minutes). There is no extra time allocated to the Oopse which should start at 5.50. Any delay or interruption after 5.50 means the Oopse is abandoned.

The Professional Edition of the Duckworth-Lewis method shall be used in all matches. If any match is suspended after it has started such that the number of overs available to be faced by either side is reduced from that determined when the match started, the revised target shall be computed using the latest version of the ICC Duckworth/Lewis Calculator as distributed by ICC in accordance with the instructions provided with that software. Where possible, arrangements shall be made for the provision of back-up capability, in case of computer malfunction, for the operation or continued operation of the Professional Edition. In the event of computer non-availability or malfunction where no such provision has been made, the Standard Edition (the method in use prior to October 2003) shall be used. The regulations given below describe only the operation of the Standard Edition, except that Clauses 4, 6 and 7 are also applicable to the Professional Edition.

INTRODUCTION
The D-L method sets revised targets in rain-interrupted limited-overs matches in accordance with the relative run scoring resources which are at the disposal of the two sides. These are not in direct proportion to the number of overs available to be faced, as with the average run rate method of correction. Instead they depend on how many overs are to go and how many wickets are down when the interruptions occur. To calculate the revised targets, you need to know the resources available at the stage of the match when suspensions and resumption of play occur. All possible values of resources have been pre-calculated and these are listed in the accompanying table. The table covers each individual ball in a game of up to 50-overs per side. The gures given in the table are percentages of the resources available for a complete 50-over innings. For matches with less than 50-overs per innings before they start, the resource percentages available at the start of an innings will be less than 100%. But the same table and the same method of calculation are used whatever the number of overs per innings. The single sheet over-by-over version of the table can be used for cases when play is suspended before the start of a new over. When Team 2 (the side batting second) have less run scoring resources at their disposal than had Team 1 (the side batting rst), their target is adjusted downwards using the ratio of the resources available to the two sides. But when Team 1s innings has been interrupted, it often happens than Team 2 have more resources at their disposal than had Team 1 and it is now necessary to adjust Team 2s target upwards. In this case the adjustment is based on the runs that would be expected to be scored on average from the extra resources at their disposal. The number of these extra runs required is calculated by applying the excess resource percentage to the average total score in a 50-over innings, referred to here as G50. For matches involving ICC full member nations, or for matches between teams that play rst class cricket, the value of G50 should be 245.

DUCKWORTH-LEWIS METHOD OF RE-CALCULATING THE TARGET SCORE IN AN INTERRUPTED MATCH

For lower levels of the game: under 19 international matches under 15 international matches womens international matches matches between associate ICC member nations

the value of G50 should be 200.

DEFINITIONS

The team batting rst are referred to as Team 1 and the team batting second are referred to as Team 2. In the table decimal fractions of an over are expressed in standard cricket notation; i.e. 4.3 overs means 4 overs plus 3 balls. The terms target and revised target are reserved exclusively for the minimum score Team 2 need to win. As with an uninterrupted match, if Team 2 make a score which is one run short of the target, the match is tied.

The following symbols are used throughout: N is the number of overs per innings for the match as decided at the moment of delivery of the rst ball of the match. S is Team 1s total score. R1 is the resource percentage (relative to a full 50-over innings) available to Team 1. R2 is the resource percentage (relative to a full 50-over innings) available to Team 2. T is Team 2s target score.

CALCULATION OF THE PERCENTAGE RESOURCE LOST BY A SUSPENSION IN PLAY

To compensate for any loss of overs due to a suspension in play during either Team 1s or Team 2s innings, it is necessary rst to calculate the resource percentage that has been lost on account of this suspension. If the suspension occurs between overs, use the sheet of the table which gives the gures for whole numbers of overs. If it occurs mid-over, use the sheets of the table which provide the gures for each individual ball. 3.1 For the start of the suspension in play, from the table note the resource percentage that remained for the appropriate number of overs/balls left and wickets lost. 3.2 For the resumption of play after the suspension, from the table note the resource percentage now remaining for the revised number of overs/balls left and for the same number of wickets lost. 3.3 Subtract the resource percentage in 3.2 from that in 3.1 to give the resource percentage lost. 3.4 If a suspension in play causes the innings to be terminated, the resource percentage on resumption (3.2) is zero and the percentage lost is the resource percentage which was remaining when the suspension occurred (3.1).

174

DUCKWORTH-LEWIS METHOD OF RE-CALCULATING THE TARGET SCORE IN AN INTERRUPTED MATCH

06

3.5 If more than one suspension in play occurs, the resource percentages lost are calculated as described in 3.1 to 3.4 and are accumulated to give updated values for the total resource percentage lost or resource available for the innings. This is done after each suspension as described in 5.2 and 5.5.

PENALTIES FOR SLOW OVER RATES

No overs penalties are imposed for slow over rates and hence slow over rates have no effect on revised target calculations.

CALCULATION OF REVISED TARGETS

5.1 Note the number of overs per innings decided at the start of the game, N. From the table note the resource percentage available to Team 1 at the start of their innings. (For N = 50 this is 100%.) 5.2 For all suspensions and any premature termination of Team 1s innings, calculate the total resource percentage lost using the procedure described in section 3. Subtract this from the starting resource percentage (5.1) to give R1, the resource which was available to Team 1 for their innings. Note Team 1s total score, S. 5.3 There is no overs penalty for slow over rates by either side. 5.4 Note the number of overs allocated to Team 2 at the start of their innings and from the table note the resource percentage for this number of overs remaining and 0 wicket lost. This is R2, the resource percentage available to Team 2. If R2 differs from R1, which will happen if Team 1s innings was interrupted and/or Team 2s was delayed, a revised target must be set. Calculate this revised target, T, as described in 5.6 below. 5.5 For each suspension of play during Team 2s innings or for premature termination of the match, update the resource percentage available, R2, by subtracting the resource percentage lost calculated as in section 3. Calculate the revised target, T, after each suspension as described in 5.6 below. If the match has to be terminated, the result is decided by comparing Team 2s score at the time with the par score, this being the value as calculated in the formulae for T in 5.6 below, but without the one run added. If it is greater, Team 2 win. If it is equal, the match is tied. If it is less, Team 1 win. 5.6 If R2 is less than R1, Team 2s revised target is obtained by reducing Team 1s score S in the ratio of R2 to R1, ignoring any gures after the decimal point, and adding one run i.e. T = (S x R2/R1) + 1 (rounded down to a whole number, if necessary). If R2 is equal to R1, no revision is needed and Team 2s target is one more run than Team 1s score. i.e. T = S + 1 If R2 is greater than R1, calculate the amount of excess resources, R2 R1, and take this percentage of the average 50-over total, G50, to give the extra runs needed, ignoring any gures after the decimal point. i.e. T = S + (R2 R1) x G50/100 + 1 (rounded down to a whole number, if necessary)

DUCKWORTH-LEWIS METHOD OF RE-CALCULATING THE TARGET SCORE IN AN INTERRUPTED MATCH

PENALTY RUNS
6.1 During Team 1s innings If penalty runs are awarded to the batting side, then their score shall advance accordingly and be taken into account when performing any future D/L calculation. If penalty runs are awarded to the elding side, then any D/L calculation in between innings will be performed as normal, and their innings will commence with the score equivalent to the number of penalty runs that they have been awarded. 6.2 During Team 2s innings If penalty runs are awarded to the batting side, then their score shall advance accordingly. These penalty runs do not affect any subsequent D/L calculation. If penalty runs are awarded to the elding side, then there will be no recalculation of any D/L target. Instead, the target score and the entire schedule of par scores will advance by the appropriate number of penalty runs. If a loss of overs occurs after such a penalty has been awarded, then the D/L target will be calculated based upon the original score of the side batting rst, and this target, and all par scores, will then be raised by the appropriate number of penalty runs.

THE RESULT AND ITS DESCRIPTION

When a revised target has been calculated and the match has been played out to its completion, the result is described exactly as in the case of an uninterrupted match; if Team 2 achieve their revised target they win by the number of wickets they have in hand when they reach this score; if they fall short of their revised target by exactly one run the result is a tie, and if they make a lower score Team 1 win by the margin of runs by which Team 2 fall short of the score needed to achieve a tie. When a match has to be abandoned with Team 2s innings in progress (provided sufcient overs have been bowled to constitute a viable match), the result is decided by comparing Team 2s score with the par score as dened in 5.5 and the winning margin is described in terms of the number of runs by which their score differs from the par score, regardless of whether Team 1 or Team 2 are the victors. Whenever a completed game has involved the use of the D/L method, the description should be qualied by appending (D/L method). 7.1 Examples of result description: i Team 2 are set a revised target of 186. But they only succeed in making 180 in their allocation of overs. They thus fall 5 runs short of the 185 runs needed to tie the match and the result is described as Team 1 win by 5 runs (D/L method). ii Team 2 are chasing a target of 201 in a 50-over per innings match and reach 105/4 after 25 overs when rain causes the match to be abandoned. At this point the par score is 100. Team 2 have exceeded this by 5 runs and so the result is described as Team 2 win by 5 runs (D/L method).

Example 1 (Suspension during Team 1s innings)

06

In a 50 over-per-innings match, Team 1 reaches 79/3 after 20 overs and then there is a suspension in play. It is decided that 20 overs of the match should be lost, 10 of these by each team. Team 1 resumes to reach a nal total of 180 in its revised allocation of 40 overs. Number of overs per innings at the start of match, N = 50 Resource percentage available to Team 1 at start of innings = 100% (5.1) Resource percentage remaining at suspension (30 overs left, 3 wkts lost = 61.6% (3.1) Resource percentage remaining at resumption (20 overs left, 3 wkts lost) = 49.1% (3.2) Resource percentage lost due to suspension = 61.6 49.1 = 12.5% (3.3) Resource percentage available to Team 1, R1 = 100 12.5 = 87.5% (5.2) Number of overs available to Team 2 at the start of its innings = 40 Resource percentage available (40 overs left, 0 wkt lost), R2 = 89.3% (5.4) R2 is greater than R1, i.e. Team 2 has more resource available than had Team 1, so its target should be increased. S = 180 Team 2s revised target (5.6) is T = S + G50 x (R2 R1)/100 + 1 = 180 + 245 x (89.3 87.5)/100 + 1 = 185 (rounded down). Example 2 (delay to start of Team 2s innings) In a match in a competition which has 45 overs per innings, Team 1 scores 212 in its allocated 45 overs. Rain then causes Team 2s response to be delayed and it is decided that it should be shortened to 35 overs. Number of overs at start of match, N = 45 Resource percentage available to Team 1 at start of its innings (45 overs left, 0 wkt lost) = 95.0% (5.1). The innings was not interrupted, so R1 = 95.0% Number of overs available to Team 2 at start of its innings = 35 Resource percentage available to Team 2 at start of innings (35 overs left, 0 wkt lost) R2 = 82.7% (5.4) R2 is less than R1; S = 212 Team 2s revised target (5.6) is T = S x R2/R1 + 1 = 212 x 82.7/95.0 + 1 = 185 (rounded down).

DUCKWORTH-LEWIS METHOD OF RE-CALCULATING THE TARGET SCORE IN AN INTERRUPTED MATCH

Example 3 (suspension during Team 2s innings) In an One Day International match (50 overs per innings), Team 1 has scored 250 from its allocation of 50 overs in an uninterrupted innings. Team 2 has received 12 overs and has scored 40/1. Then play is suspended and 10 overs are lost. Number of overs at start of match, N = 50. Team 1s innings was uninterrupted, so its resource percentage available, R1 = 100% (5.1). Resource percentage available to Team 2 at start of innings = 100% (5.4). Resource percentage remaining at suspension (38 overs left, 1 wkt lost) = 82.0% (3.1). Resource percentage remaining at resumption (28 overs left, 1 wkt lost) = 68.8% (3.2). Resource percentage lost due to suspension = 82.0 68.8 = 13.2% (3.3). Resource percentage available to Team 2, R2 = 100 13.2 = 86.8% (5.5). R2 is less than R1; S = 250. Team 2s revised target (5.6) is T = S x R2/R1 + 1 = 250 x 86.8/100 + 1 = 218 , and it needs a further 178 runs from 28 overs. Example 4 (multiple suspensions and abandonment) Suppose that in Example 3, play continues for a further 10 overs during which Team 2 takes its score on to 98/3, whereupon there is another suspension in play and 2 more overs are lost. A further 8.2 overs are bowled and Team 2 is 154/6 when rain washes out the match. Team 1s resource percentage is still R1 = 100%. Team 2s resource percentage has been reduced further. Resource percentage remaining at start of second suspension (18 overs left, 3 wkts lost) = 45.9% (3.1). Resource percentage remaining at end of second suspension (16 overs left, 3 wkts lost) = 42.3% (3.2). Resource percentage lost due to second suspension = 45.9 42.3 = 3.6% (3.3). Resource percentage available to Team 2, R2 = 86.8 3.6 = 83.2% (5.5). R2 is less than R1; S = 250. Team 2s revised target (5.6) is T = S x R2/R1 + 1 = 250 x 83.2/100 + 1 = 209 and it needs a further 111 runs from 16 overs. When the innings had to be terminated, there were 7.4 overs remaining. Resource percentage remaining at termination of Team 2s innings (7.4 overs left, 6 wkts lost) = 19.4%. This remaining resource is lost by the termination. Resource percentage available to Team 2, R2 = 83.2 19.4 = 63.8% (5.5). R2 is less than R1; S = 250. Team 2s par score (5.5 and 5.6) is S x R2/R1 = 250 x 63.8/100 = 159 (rounded down); the par score at the instant of abandonment is 159 and with a score of 154 it has lost by 5 runs. Team 1 wins by 5 runs (D-L method) (7).

Example 5 (suspension and termination of Team 1s innings mid-over and delay to Team 2s innings) This is taken form an actual ODI: India (Team 1) versus Pakistan (Team 2), Singapore, April 1996. Team 1 scores 226/8 in 47.1 of a scheduled 50 overs. Rain then terminates Team 1s innings and delays that of Team 2, which is given a reduced allocation of 33 overs. Number of overs per innings at start of match, N = 50 Team 1s innings: Resource percentage at start of innings is 100% (5.1). Resource percentage remaining at termination (2.5 overs left, 8 wkts lost) = 6.9% (3.1). Resource percentage lost due to termination = 6.9% (3.4). Resource percentage available, R1 = 100 8.1 = 93.1% (5.2). Team 2s innings (allocated 33 overs): Resource percentage available at star to f innings (33 overs left, 0 wkts lost), R2 = 79.8% (5.4). R2 is less than R1; S = 226. Team 2s revised target (5.6) is T = S x R2/R1 + 1 = 226 x 79.8/93.1 + 1 = 194 (rounded down). Example 6 (as Example 5 but with a further interruption during Team 2s innings) In the match of the previous example, Team 2 has scored 140 for 2 after 25 overs when a further 5 overs are lost to the weather. Team 1s resource percentage is still R1 = 93.1%. Team 2s innings: Resource percentage at start of innings (33 overs left, 0 wkt lost) = 79.8% (5.4). Resource percentage remaining at suspension (8 overs left, 2 wkts lost) = 25.5% (3.1). Resource percentage remaining at resumption (3 overs left, 2 wkts lost) = 10.4 % (3.2). Resource percentage lost due to suspension = 25.5 10.4 = 15.1% (3.3). Resource percentage available, R2 = 79.8 15.1 = 64.7% (5.2). R2 is less than R1; S = 226. Team 2s revised target (5.6) is T = S x R2/R1 + 1 = 226 x 64.7/93.1 + 1 = 158 (rounded down) and it needs a further 18 runs from 3 overs.

The Standard Playing Conditions for Twenty20 Cricket apply to Womens Twenty20 International Matches with the following amendments: Note: In addition, the ICC Match Referee may or may not be present at the match.

LAW 3 - THE UMPIRES

Law 3.1 Appointment and Attendance Delete Law 3.1 and replace with the following: Clause 3.1.1 Appointment and Attendance Depending on the nature of the tournament, the Home Board shall appoint ICC approved umpires for on-eld and third umpire duties. For televised matches the responsibility of the third umpire will be to act as an emergency umpire and ofciate in regard to TV replays. For non-televised matches, the responsibility of the third umpire will be to act as an emergency umpire and carry out the tasks as outlined in the Standard Twenty20 International Playing Conditions prescribed for the third and fourth umpire (note: a fourth umpire is not required for international womens matches) Clause 3.1.2 Neither team will have a right of objection to an umpires appointment. Clause 3.1.3 the umpires shall be present at the ground at least 90 minutes before the scheduled start of play. Clause 3.2 - Third Umpire/TV Replays The following shall apply in addition to Clause 3.1: 3.2.1 General a) b) The Home Board shall endeavour to broadcast all Twenty20 matches played in its country. Where matches are broadcast the camera specications set out in Appendix 6A shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement. Where matches are not broadcast, countries are encouraged to implement the camera specications, as set out in Appendix 6B. For televised matches, the Home Board will ensure a separate room is provided for the third umpire and that he has access to a television monitor and direct sound link with the television control unit director to facilitate as many replays as is necessary to assist him in making a decision. For televised matches and in the circumstances detailed in Clauses 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 below, the on-eld umpire has the discretion whether or not to refer the appeal to the third umpire for a decision and should take a common sense approach. Players may not appeal to the umpire to use the replay system - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the player could be liable for discipline under the ICC Code of Conduct.

f) For televised matches, the third umpire shall call for as many replays from any camera angle as is necessary to reach a decision. As a guide, a decision should be made within 30 seconds whenever possible, but the third umpire shall have discretion to take more time in order to nalise a decision. For televised matches, the on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit-wicket to the third umpire. For televised matches, an on-eld umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his hands. For televised matches, if the third umpire decides the batter is out a red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-eld umpires that the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision will be taken by the on-eld umpire. (Where available and as an alternative to the red/green light system, the big replay screen may be used for the purpose of conveying the third umpires decision). For televised matches, when reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire nds the batter has been bowled rather than hit wicket or stumped, he shall indicate that the batter was dismissed.

3.2.3 Caught Decisions For televised matches, the on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a caught decision to the third umpire in the following circumstances: 3.2.3.1 Clean catches a) Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether or not a catch was taken cleanly, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire. Should both umpires be unable to make a decision, they may consult by two-way radio with the 3rd umpire. Following such consultation, the nal decision will be made and given by the bowlers end umpire, who will take into account the on-eld umpires initial views and any other advice received from the 3rd umpire. The third umpire has to determine whether the batter has been caught. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batter did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batter is not out. Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether a catch was taken from a bump ball or not, he shall rst consult with the square leg umpire. Should both on-eld umpires be unable to make a decision, the bowlers end umpire shall be entitled to refer the decision to the third umpire to review a TV replay(s) of the batters stroke as in Clause 3.2.2 (b).

The third umpire shall communicate his decision by the system as in Clause 3.2.2 (c).

3.2.4 Boundary Decisions a) For televised matches, the on-eld umpire shall be entitled to refer to the third umpire for a decision about whether the elder had any part of her person in contact with the ball when she touched the boundary or when she had any part of her person grounded beyond the boundary or whether a four or six had been scored. A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter. For televised matches, an on-eld umpire wishing the assistance of the third umpire in these circumstances shall communicate with the third umpire by use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the on-eld umpire by this method. For televised matches, the third umpire may initiate contact with the on-eld umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows a boundary line infringement or incident that appears not to have been acted upon by the on-eld umpires. For televised matches, in the event of both batters running to the same end and the umpires are uncertain over which batters made her ground rst, the on-eld umpire may refer the decision to the third umpire. The procedure in Clause 3.2.4 (b) shall apply.

15.2 Law 15.8 - Tea interval- 9 wickets down Law 15.8 shall be replaced by the following: If at the scheduled time for the tea interval, the ninth wicket of the innings in progress is already down, or it falls at, or after that time, or falls when less than two minutes remain before that time, play will continue for a period of 30 minutes unless the players have cause to leave the eld of play, or the innings is concluded earlier. 15.3 Law 15.9 - Intervals for Drinks The provisions of Law 15.9 shall be strictly observed except that under conditions of extreme heat the umpires may permit extra intervals for drinks. An individual player may be given a drink either on the boundary edge or at the fall of a wicket, on the eld, provided that no playing time is wasted. No other drinks shall be taken onto the eld without the permission of the umpires. Any player taking drinks onto the eld shall be dressed in proper cricket attire.

16 LAW 16 - START OF PLAY; CESSATION OF PLAY

Law 16 shall apply subject to the following: 16.1 Start and Cessation Times The Home Board shall determine the hours of play, subject to there being 6 hours scheduled play per day and subject to: 16.1.1 Minimum Overs in the Day Subject to clause 16.1.2 below: a) On days other than the last day, play shall continue on each day until the completion of a minimum target of 96 overs (or a minimum of 16 overs per hour) or the completion of the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, whichever is the later but provided that play shall not continue for more than 30 minutes beyond the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time (permitted overtime). For the sake of clarity, if any of the minimum target number of overs have not been bowled at the completion of the permitted overtime, play shall cease upon completion of the over in progress. The overs not bowled shall not be made up on any subsequent day. On the last day, a minimum of 80 overs (or a minimum of 16 overs per hour) shall be bowled during the playing time other than the last hour of the match where clause 16.1.6 below shall apply. If any of the minimum of 80 overs, or as recalculated, have not been bowled when one hour of the scheduled playing time remains, the last hour of the match for the purposes of clause 16.1.6 shall be the hour immediately following the completion of these overs.

b)

16.1.2 Reduction in minimum overs Except in the last hour of the match, for which clause 16.1.6 makes provision, if play is suspended due to adverse weather or light or any other reason (other than normal intervals) for more than 1 hour on any day, the minimum number of overs shall be reduced by 1 over

214

STANDARD ICC INTERCONTINENTAL CUP AND INTERCONTINENTAL SHIELD PLAYING CONDITIONS

10

for each full 3.45 minutes of the aggregate playing time lost. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate of 1 hour shall be inclusive of any time that may have been brought forward from previous days due to playing time lost on such previous days under clause 16.1.3 (b) below. 16.1.3 Making Up Lost Time a) On The Day Subject to weather and light, except in the last hour of the match, in the event of play being suspended for any reason other than normal intervals, the playing time on that day shall be extended by the amount of time lost up to a maximum of 1 hour. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum of 1 hour shall be inclusive of any time that may have been added to the scheduled playing time due to playing time having been lost on previous days under clause 16.1.3 (b) below. b) On Subsequent Days If any time is lost and cannot be made up under clause 16.1.3 (a) above, additional time of up to a maximum of 30 minutes per day shall be added to the scheduled playing hours for the next day, and subsequent day(s) as required (to make up as much lost time as possible). Where appropriate this additional time shall be added prior to the scheduled start of the rst session. In circumstances where it is not possible to add this additional time prior to the scheduled start of the rst session, the additional time may be added to the second and/or the third sessions (see also 16.1.4). When such additional time is added, the minimum overs for that day shall be increased by one over for each 3.45 minutes of additional time or part thereof. c) On the Last Day only Clause 16.1.3 (a) applies. However, for the purposes of this clause, the denition of playing time shall be the time up to the most recently scheduled time for the start of the last hour. Should an interruption in play commence prior to the most recently scheduled time for the last hour and continue past this time: i) Only the playing time lost prior to this last hour start time will be made up (subject to the maximum of one hour described in (a) above) with the start time for the last hour being rescheduled accordingly.

ii) The period of time between the scheduled last hour start time at the start of the interruption and the time of the resumption of play will not be made up. The minimum number of overs to be bowled prior to the last hour at the start of the interruption will therefore be reduced by one for each full 3.45 minutes of aggregate time lost (as described in clause 16.1.2) iii) The start time for the last hour will thus be the later of the rescheduled time as dened at the end of (i) above and the time at which the minimum overs prior to the last hour have been completed or reduced to zero by application of the formula in (ii) above. iv) No time is made up in respect of any interruptions that commence after the start of the last hour.

16.1.4 Change of Intervals a) If play has been suspended for any reason other than normal intervals for 30 minutes or more prior to the commencement of the scheduled or rescheduled tea interval on that day, the tea interval shall be delayed for hour.

b) Not withstanding the provisions of clause a above, the timings of intervals can be altered under Law 15.5 at any time on any day if playing time has been lost irrespective of whether the time has been lost on that day or on any previous days. 16.1.5 Change of Innings Where there is a change of innings during a days play (except where the change of innings occurs at lunch or tea or when play is suspended for any reason) 2 overs will be deducted from the minimum number of overs to be bowled. The over in progress at the end of an innings is regarded as a completed over for the purposes of determining the minimum number of remaining overs to be bowled in the day. 16.1.6 Last Hour Law 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 will apply except that a minimum of 15 overs shall be bowled in the last hour and all calculations with regard to suspensions of play or the start of a new innings shall be based on 1 over for each full 3.45 minutes (refer clause 16.1.9 below). On the nal day, if both captains (the batsmen at the wicket may act for their captain) accept that there is no prospect of either side achieving a victory, they may agree to nish the match after (a) the time for the commencement of the last hour has been reached OR (b) there are a minimum of 16 overs to be bowled, whichever is the later. 16.1.7 Notwithstanding any other provision, there shall be no further play on any day, other than the last day, if a wicket falls or a batsman retires or if the players have occasion to leave the eld during the last minimum over within 2 minutes of the scheduled cessation time or thereafter. An over completed on resumption of a new days play shall be disregarded in calculating minimum overs for that day. Except on the nal day: a) In the event of play being suspended for any reason at or after the most recently scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, stumps shall be drawn upon play being suspended. b) In the event of the players already being off the eld for a suspension of play at the most recently rescheduled cessation time, then stumps will be drawn at that time. 16.1.10 The scoreboard shall show: a) the total number of overs bowled with the ball currently in use: and b) the minimum number of overs remaining to be bowled in a day. 16.1.11 Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer ICC Code of Conduct).

16.2 Extra Time

10

The umpires may decide to play 30 minutes (a minimum of eight overs) extra time at the end of any day (other than the last day) if requested by either captain if, in the umpires opinion, it would bring about a denite result on that day [this is in addition to the additional time provided for in Clause 16.1.3 above]. If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved no extra time shall be allowed. If it is decided to play such extra time on one or more of these days, the whole period shall be played out even though the possibility of nishing the match may have disappeared before the full period has expired. Only the actual amount of playing time up to the maximum 30 minutes extra time by which play is extended on any day shall be deducted from the total number of hours of play remaining, and the match shall end earlier on the nal day by the amount of time by which play was previously extended under this clause. 16.3 Minimum Over Rates Clause 16.3 shall not apply.

17 LAW 17 - PRACTICE ON THE FIELD

Bowling practice on the bowling strips referred to in (a) above shall also be permitted during the interval (and change of innings if not the interval) unless the umpires consider that, in the prevailing conditions of ground and weather, it will be detrimental to the surface of the square.

b)

17.2 Law 17.3 - Practice on the outeld Law 17.3 shall apply save that Law 17.3 (b) (ii) shall be replaced with the following: ii) There shall be no bowling or batting practice on the outeld.

In addition, advertising on perimeter boards placed in front of the sightscreens is permitted save that the predominant colour of such advertising shall be of a contrasting colour to that of the ball.

19.2 Law 19.2 - Dening the boundary - boundary marking The following shall apply in addition to Law 19.2: All boundaries must be designated by a rope or similar object of a minimum standard as authorised by the ICC from time to time. Where appropriate the rope should be a required minimum distance (3 yards (2.74 metres) minimum) inside the perimeter fencing or advertising signs. For grounds with a large playing area, the maximum length of boundary should be used before applying the minimum 3 yards (2.74 metres) between the boundary and the fence.

A fast short-pitched delivery is dened as a ball, which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease. The umpire at the bowlers end shall advise the bowler and the batsman on strike when each fast short pitched delivery has been bowled. In addition, for the purpose of this regulation and subject to Clause 42.4.1 (f) below, a ball that passes above head height of the batsman, that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called a wide. For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is called a wide under this playing condition shall also count as one of the allowable short pitched deliveries in that over. In the event of a bowler bowling more than two fast short-pitched deliveries in an over as dened in Clause 42.4.1 (b) above, the umpire at the bowlers end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion.

If there is a second instance of the bowler being no balled in the innings for bowling more than two fast short pitched deliveries in an over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his nal warning for the innings. Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings. The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.

If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings. The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsman at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.

If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the bowler that this is a nal warning. Both the above caution and nal warning shall continue to apply even though the bowler may later change ends. Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. See Law 22.8.

Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness). In the event of a eldsman already being off the eld at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the umpires when he is t enough to take the eld had play been in progress. 2.1.3 Substitute elders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons.

3.5

Law 3.8 - Fitness for play and Law 3.9 - Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable conditions Laws 3.8 and 3.9 shall apply subject to the following: 3.5.1 The safety of all persons within the ground is of paramount importance to the ICC. In the event that any threatening circumstance, whether actual or perceived, comes to the attention of any umpire (including for example weather, pitch invasions, act of God, etc See also clauses 3.5.4 and 3.5.5 below), then the players and ofcials should immediately be asked to leave the eld of play in a safe and orderly manner and to relocate to a secure and safe area (depending on each particular threat) pending the satisfactory passing or resolution of such threat or risk to the reasonable satisfaction of the umpires, ICC Tournament Referee, the head of the relevant ground authority, the head of ground security and/or the police as the circumstances may require. Laws 3.8 & 3.9 shall be replaced by: 3.5.2 The umpires shall be the nal judges of the tness of the ground, weather and light for play. See 3.5.3 below and Law 7.2 (Fitness of the pitch for play) 3.5.3 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light a) b) All references to ground include the pitch. See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch).

The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the elders of the power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place.

229

ii) The revision of the number of overs should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the rst team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to the innings not being completed earlier. iii) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed overs faced by Team 1 multiplied by 4.2, then the rst innings is terminated and the provisions of 12.4.2 b) below take effect. iv) A xed time will be specied for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the match, by applying a rate of 14.28 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and intervals, excluding those for drinks, will be taken into consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to nish earlier than the original or re-scheduled time for cessation of play on the nal scheduled day for play. If required the original time shall be extended to allow for one extra over for each team. v) If the team elding rst fails to bowl the revised number of overs by the specied time, play shall continue until the required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is completed. The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence at the rescheduled time, subject to there being a minimum interval of 20 minutes (or where the interval has been reduced to a period of less than 20 minutes such reduced period less than 20 minutes under 15.1 (iii)). vi) Should calculations regarding numbers of overs result in a fraction of an over, the fraction shall be ignored. vii) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer ICC Code of Conduct). b) Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of overs in the playing time available, the number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 14.28 overs per hour, which is inclusive of the provision of drinks intervals, in respect of the lost playing time. Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored.

ii) In addition, should the innings of the team batting rst have been completed prior to the scheduled, or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings started early has elapsed. iii) To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to the innings not being completed earlier. iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the rst team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs. v) A xed time will be specied for the close of play by applying a rate of 14.28 overs per hour. With the exception of drinks intervals, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours and interruptions in play, will be taken into consideration in specifying this time. vi) If the team elding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of play, the hours of play shall be extended until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved. vii) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer ICC Code of Conduct).

12.5 Extra Time In all matches where the start of play is delayed or play is suspended, the scheduled hours of play shall be extended up to an agreed maximum between the ICC and the Tournament Organisers. 12.6 Number of Overs per Bowler No bowler shall bowl more than 10 overs in an innings. In a delayed or interrupted match where the overs are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no bowler may bowl more than one-fth of the total overs allowed. Where the total overs is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance. In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowlers limit is concerned. Where possible the scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled and the number of overs bowled by each bowler. 12.7 Law 12.4 The toss Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following: The captains shall toss for the choice of innings, on the eld of play and in the presence of the ICC Tournament Referee, who shall supervise the toss. The toss shall take place not earlier than 30 minutes, nor later than 15 minutes before the scheduled or any re-scheduled time for the match to start. Note, however, the provisions of Law 1.3 (Captain).

15 LAW 15 - INTERVALS
Law 15 shall apply subject to the following: 15.1 Law 15.5 - Changing Agreed Times for Intervals - Interval Between Innings If the innings of the team batting rst is completed prior to the scheduled time for the interval, the interval shall take place immediately and the innings of the team batting second will commence correspondingly earlier providing that this does not lead to an interval occurring more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval. If the innings of the team batting rst is completed more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval a 10 minute break will occur and the team batting second will commence its innings and the interval will occur as scheduled. Where play is delayed or interrupted the umpires will reduce the length of the interval as follows: i) If up to 15 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the interval will be reduced by the amount of actual playing time lost.

ii) If more than 15 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the interval will be reduced to 30 minutes (subject to (iii) below). iii) If more than 60 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the interval of 30 minutes prescribed under (ii) above may be reduced further by mutual agreement between the Umpires and both Captains. In the event of disagreement, the length of the interval shall be determined by the ICC Tournament Referee. The minimum interval shall be ten minutes. 15.2 Law 15.9 - Intervals for Drinks Two drinks breaks per session shall be permitted, each 1 hour 10 minutes apart. The provisions of Law 15.9 shall be strictly observed except that under conditions of extreme heat the umpires may permit extra intervals for drinks. An individual player may be given a drink either on the boundary edge or at the fall of a wicket, on the eld, provided that no playing time is wasted.

Note: The playing hours of matches scheduled to take place at venues where dew is likely to be a factor should be determined so as to ensure that the effect of any dew is minimised. 16.2 Laws 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 shall not apply. 16.3 Laws 16.9, 16.10, and 16.11 shall apply in so far as they are relevant to a one innings limited overs type match. 16.4 Minimum Over Rates The minimum over rate to be achieved in the matches will be 14.28 overs per hour. The actual over rate will be calculated at the end of the match by the umpires. In calculating the actual over rate for the match, allowances will be given for the actual time lost as a result of any of the following: 16.4.1 treatment given to a player by an authorised medical personnel on the eld of play; 16.4.2 a player being required to leave the eld as a result of a serious injury; 16.4.3 all third umpire referrals and consultations; 16.4.4 time wasting by the batting side; and 16.4.5 all other circumstances that are beyound the control of the elding side. If a side is bowled out within the time determined for that innings pursuant to these playing conditions (taking into account all of the time allowances set out above), the elding side shall be deemed to have complied with the required minimum over rate.

21.2 Law 21.2 - A Win - One Innings Match Law 21.2 shall apply in addition to the following: 21.2.1 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing teams refusal to play (Law 21.3), a result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 20 overs, unless one team has been all out in less than 20 overs or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 20 overs. 21.2.2 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing teams refusal to play (Law 21.3), all matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a minimum of 20 overs, shall be declared no result. 21.3 Law 21.3 Umpire (Referee) Awarding a Match Law 21.3 shall be replaced by the following: a) A match shall be lost by a side which either i) concedes defeat or ii) in the opinion of the ICC Tournament Referee refuses to play and the Referee shall award the match to the other side. b) If an umpire considers that an action by any player or players might constitute a refusal by either side to play then the umpires together shall inform the ICC Tournament Referee of this fact. The ICC Tournament Referee shall together with the umpires ascertain the cause of the action. If the ICC Tournament Referee, after due consultation with the umpires, then decides that this action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, he shall so inform the captain of that side. If the captain persists in the action the ICC Tournament Referee shall award the match in accordance with (a)(ii) above.* c) If action as in (b) above takes place after play has started and does not constitute a refusal to play the delay or interruption in play shall be dealt with in the same manner as provided for in clauses 12.4.2 and 15.1 above. *N/B In addition to the consequences of any refusal to play prescribed under this clause, any such refusal, whether temporary or nal, may result in disciplinary action being taken against the captain and team responsible under the ICC Code of Conduct. 21.4 Law 21.4 Matches in which there is an agreement under Law 12.1 (b) Law 21.4 shall not apply. 21.5 Law 21.4 5 (a) - A Tie Law 21.4 shall apply in addition to the following: 21.4.1 If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets which have fallen. N/B: In any tournament where there are knockout nals (ie semi-nal or nal/play-offs) to separate a tie in these matches, the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator (refer to Appendix 4) in accordance with 21.9.3.1 below. 21.6 Law 21.5 (b) - A Draw Law 21.5 shall not apply.

21.7 Prematurely Terminated Matches - Calculation of the Target Score 21.7.1 Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target Score If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 20 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis method. The target set will always be a whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie. (refer Duckworth/Lewis regulations) 21.7.2 Prematurely Terminated Matches If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 20 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the match to be resumed, the match will be decided by comparison with the D/L Par Score determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth/Lewis method (refer Duckworth/Lewis regulations). If the score is equal to the par score, the match is a Tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or defeat, by the margin of runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the Par Score. 21.8 Correctness of Result Any query on the result of the match as dened in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.5, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modied by these regulations) shall be resolved as soon as possible and a nal decision made by the umpires at close of play. 21.9 Event Format The tournament will be contested by a pre-determined number of teams. Unless specied as a two group tournament each team will play every other team once in a round-robin format. Points will be allocated for each match in accordance with the system described in clause 21.9 of these playing conditions. Where specied, following the completion of the round-robin matches the top 2 teams (as determined in 21.9) will contest the nal with all other teams playing ranking play-offs. Therefore the games will be as follows: On completion of the round-robin matches 1st and 2nd (as determined in 21.9) will play the nal. On completion of the round-robin matches 3rd and 4th (as determined in 21.9) will play the 3rd and 4th play-off. On completion of the round-robin matches 5th and 6th (as determined in 21.9) will play the 5th and 6th play-off. 21.9 Standings 21.9.1 Preliminary Matches The following points system shall apply: Win .............................................................................................................................. 2 Tie or No Result ...................................................................................................... 1 Loss .............................................................................................................................. 0 21.9.2 Round-Robin Matches In the event of teams nishing on equal points at the end of the round-robin matches, the progression to the ranking play-offs will be decided in the following order of priority:

243

11

PEPSI ICC WORLD CRICKET LEAGUE STANDARD PLAYING CONDITIONS

i) ii) The team with the most number of wins in the round-robin matches will be placed in the higher position. If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the round-robin matches then in such case the team with the higher net run rate in these matches will be placed in the higher position (refer to 21.9.4 below for the calculation of net run rate).

iii) If following the net run rate calculation above there are teams which are still equal, then the team which was the winner of the head to head match played between them will be placed in higher position. iv) If still equal, the team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the round-robin matches in which results were achieved will be placed in the higher position. v) In the highly unlikely event that the teams cannot be separated by the abpove this will be done by drawing lots.

Please note in a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable. 21.9.3 Final and Ranking Play-offs In the event of the nal or ranking play-off being tied or there is no result, the following shall apply: 1) 2) Tied match the teams shall compete in a one over eliminator to determine the nal positions (refer to Appendix 5). No result - the teams will be declared joint winners. The calculation of the nal ranking position shall follow 21.9.2.

21.9.4 Net Run Rate A teams net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition. In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate of both teams shall be based on the full quota of overs to which the batting team would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed. Note: Any play during a one over per side eliminator is excluded from these calculations. Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the nal target score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target. In circumstances where a match (and the points for such match) is awarded to a team as a result of the other teams refusal to play, either by the ICC Tournament Referee in accordance with Law 21.3 (a)(ii) as read with playing condition 21.3 or in accordance with the provisions of the relevant event agreements signed by the participating teams, the net run rate of the defaulting team shall be affected in that the full 50 overs of the defaulting teams innings in such forfeited match shall be taken

244

PEPSI ICC WORLD CRICKET LEAGUE STANDARD PLAYING CONDITIONS

into account in calculating the average runs per over of the defaulting team over the course of the relevant portion of the competition. For the avoidance of doubt the runs scored and overs bowled in such forfeited match will not be taken into account when calculating the net run rate of the team to whom the match was awarded. 21.9.5 In the event of any dispute the ICC Event Technical Committee may be called on to make a ruling and its ruling will be nal.

22 LAW 22 - THE OVER

Law 22 shall apply subject to the addition of the following to Law 22.5: 22.1 Law 22.5 - Umpire Miscounting Whenever possible the third umpire or the scorers shall inform the on-eld umpires if the over has been miscounted.

23 LAW 23 - DEAD BALL

Law 23 shall apply.

24 LAW 24 - NO BALL
Law 24 shall apply subject to the following: 24.1 Law 24.1 (b) Mode of Delivery Law 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following: The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm the umpire shall call and signal no ball, and the ball is to be re-bowled overarm. 24.2 Free Hit After a Foot-Fault No Ball In addition to the above, the delivery following a no ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker (the provisions of clause 41.2 shall apply). The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.

25 LAW 25 - WIDE BALL

25.1 Law 25.1 - Judging a Wide Law 25 shall apply with the following addition to Law 25.1: Umpires are instructed to apply very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. Any offside or legside delivery which in the opinion of the umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a wide. A penalty of one run for a wide shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. All runs, which are run or result from a wide ball, which is not a no ball, shall be scored wide balls.

41.1 Law 41.1 - Protective Equipment The following shall apply in addition to Law 41.1:

11

The exchanging of protective equipment between members of the elding side on the eld shall be permitted provided that the umpires do not consider that it constitutes a waste of playing time. 41.2 Restrictions on the Placement of Fieldsmen 41.2.1 At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 eldsmen on the leg side. 41.2.2 In addition to the restriction contained in clause 41.2.1 above, further elding restrictions shall apply to certain overs in each innings. The nature of such elding restrictions and the overs during which they shall apply (hereinafter referred to as the Powerplay) are set out in the following paragraphs. 41.2.3 The following elding restrictions shall apply: a) Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the eld of play. The semi-circles shall have as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles shall be 30 yards (27.43 metres). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on the eld (refer attached Appendix 3). The elding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or dots at 5 yard (4.57 metres) intervals, each dot to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. During the rst block of Powerplay overs (as set out below), only two eldsmen shall be permitted outside this elding restriction area at the instant of delivery. During the second and third Powerplay blocks only three eldsmen shall be permitted outside the elding restriction area at the instant of delivery. b) Two inner circles shall be drawn on the eld of play. The circles shall have as their centres the centrepoint of the popping crease at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the circles shall be 15 yards (13.72 metres). These elding restriction areas should be marked by dots. The segment of the circles reserved for the slip positions shall not be demarcated (refer attached Appendix 3). During the initial block of Powerplay overs (in an uninterrupted innings, the rst 10), there must be a minimum of two stationary eldsmen within the applicable elding restriction area, measured from the strikers end, at the instant of delivery. When a fast bowler is bowling the two stationary eldsmen may be permitted to stand deeper than 15 yards (13.72 metres) (in the undemarcated area) provided only that they are standing in slip, leg slip or gully positions. 41.2.4 During the non Powerplay overs, no more than 5 eldsmen shall be permitted outside the elding restriction area referred to in clause 41.2.3 a) above. 41.2.5 Subject to the provisions of 41.2.6 below, the Powerplay overs shall apply for 20 overs per innings to be taken as follows:

247

11

PEPSI ICC WORLD CRICKET LEAGUE STANDARD PLAYING CONDITIONS

a) The rst block of Powerplay overs (block of 10 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be at the commencement of the innings. For the remaining second and third block of Powerplay overs (blocks of 5 overs for an uninterrupted match), one block shall be taken at the discretion of the elding captain and the other at the discretion of either of the batsmen at the wicket. A batsman must nominate his teams Powerplay no later than the moment at which the umpire reaches the stumps at the bowlers end for the start of the next over. The elding captain may nominate his teams Powerplay any time prior to the commencement of the over. The umpire who will stand at the bowlers end for the commencement of a Powerplay block shall determine which side rst made the request. Once a side has nominated a Powerplay, the decision can not be reversed. Should either team choose not to exercise their discretion, their Powerplay will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. in an uninterrupted innings, one unclaimed Powerplay will begin at the start of the 46th over).

b)

c)

d) e)

41.2.6 In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of Powerplay overs shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the match.

41.2.7

Each block of Powerplay overs must commence at the start of an over.

41.2.8 If play is interrupted not during the Powerplay, then on resumption, it is necessary to determine how any remaining Powerplay overs should be allocated. The total number of Powerplay overs for the innings is derived from the table in 41.2.6. Any Powerplay overs already taken prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been in sequence: the initial allocation, the elding sides allocation then the batting sides allocation. The decision of the batting side, and if applicable of the elding side, of when to take any remaining Powerplay, is made in the usual way.

248

PEPSI ICC WORLD CRICKET LEAGUE STANDARD PLAYING CONDITIONS

Illustrations of 41.2.8:

11

A match starts as 40 overs; with the rst 8 as Powerplays (PP). The next two overs are not PP, the match is then delayed after 10 overs and shortened to 30 overs. The new PP allocation is 6+3+3, we have had 8 PP overs, so there is one over of elding side selection left and all three overs for the batting sides. Both teams can choose when to use their respective 1 and 3 over allocations. As above but the match resumes as 23 overs each The PP allocation is now 5+2+2, so one batting side PP over remains to be taken at their discretion. 41.2.9 If play is interrupted during the rst or second Powerplay and on resumption the overs required to be bowled in that Powerplay have already been exceeded, then subsequent Powerplay(s) will assume to have been taken consecutively up to that point. 41.2.10 If play is interrupted during the rst Powerplay and resumes during the second Powerplay, the second Powerplay will be deemed to have been nominated by the elding captain. 41.2.11 If following an interruption, on resumption the total number of Powerplay overs for the innings has already been exceeded, then there will be no further Powerplay deliveries bowled in the innings. Note that this is the only circumstance under which the Powerplay status can be changed during an over. Illustrations of 41.2.9, 41.2.10 and 41.2.11 A 50 over innings is interrupted after 9.3 overs, and on resumption has been reduced to (a) 38 overs, (b) 28 overs, (c) 20 overs. a) Powerplay overs are 8+4+3. 2nd Powerplay is in progress with 1.3 out of the elding teams 4 overs completed. The batting sides 3 over Powerplay can start any time after the 12th over. b) Powerplay overs are 6+3+2. 3rd Powerplay is in progress with 0.3 out of 2 overs completed. c) Powerplay overs are 4+2+2. All Powerplay overs have been completed. Non-Powerplay restrictions take effect immediately and do not need to wait until the end of the over. 41.2.12 If following an interruption while a Powerplay is not in progress, it is found on resumption that the recalculated number of Powerplay overs remaining equals or exceeds the number of overs to be bowled in the innings, then the Powerplays will commence at the start of the next over. Illustration of 41.2.12: A 50 over innings in which only the 1st Powerplay has been taken is interrupted after 34.2 overs and reduced to 40 overs. Powerplay overs are 8+4+4. Powerplays automatically resume for the start of the next over (36th) and remain in force for the remainder of the innings. 41.2.13 At the commencement of each discretionary block of Powerplay overs, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle. If the batting side has chosen the Powerplay the umpire shall signal this to the scorers by tapping his hands above his head after the signal. 41.2.14 The umpire shall also indicate to the elding captain before any signal is made that the batting side has chosen its Powerplay.

APPENDIX 4

Procedure for the One Over Per Side Eliminator (Oopse) The following procedure will apply should the provision for a one over per side eliminator be adopted in any match. 1 Subject to weather conditions the one over per side eliminator will take place on the scheduled day of the match at a time to be determined by the ICC Tournament Referee. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match. The amount of extra time allocated to the Oopse is the greater of (a) the extra time allocated to the original match less the amount of extra time actually utilised and (b) the gap between the actual end of the match and the time the original match would have been scheduled to nish had the whole of the extra time provision been utilised. Should play be delayed prior to or during the Oopse, once the playing time lost exceeds the extra time allocated, the Oopse shall be abandoned. See clause 16. The one over per side eliminator will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground authority and the ICC Tournament Referee. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they nished the match. The umpires shall choose which end to bowl and both teams will bowl from the same end. Prior to the commencement of the one over per side eliminator each team elects three batsmen and one bowler. The nominated players are given in writing to the ICC Tournament Referee. The ICC Tournament Referee shall not disclose the names of the nominated players to any other person until both teams have submitted their respective nominees. Each teams over is played with the same elding restrictions as apply for the last over in a normal ODI International match. The team batting second in the match will bat rst in the one over eliminator. The same ball (or a ball of a similar age if the original ball is out of shape or lost) as used at the end of the teams innings shall be used for the extra over. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the teams one over innings. In the event of the teams having the same score after the one over per side eliminator has been completed, the team whose batsmen hit the most number of boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main match and the one over per side eliminator shall be the winner. If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batsmen scored more boundaries during its innings in the main match (ignoring the over per side eliminator) shall be the winner. If still equal, a count-back from the nal ball of the one over eliminator shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls. Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is dened as the total team runs scored since the completion of the previous legitimate ball, i.e including any runs resulting from wides, no ball or penalty runs.

1 4 1 2 1 6

In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However team 1 scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner. 15 16 If still equal the match will be a tie or no result and standings shall be in accordance with 21.9.3.2. Clause 2 examples: Scheduled nish 5.00, 30 minutes extra time available, so scheduled nish time if the whole of the extra time provision is utilised is 5.30. a) No extra time is utilised in the original match which overruns ten minutes and nishes at 5.10. The Oopse is scheduled to start at 5.20 with 30 minutes extra time available. It starts on time but is interrupted at 5.25. Play must resume by 5.55 otherwise the Oopse is abandoned. 20 minutes of extra time was utilised, with the match scheduled to nish at 5.20, but it actually nishes at 5.10. Therefore the extra time allocated to the Oopse is the greater of a) 10 minutes (30 minutes extra time less 20 already utilised) and b) 20 minutes (the gap from the actual nish time of 5.10 and the scheduled nish had the full extra time been utilised of 5.30). The Oopse was due to start at 5.20, but is delayed by rain. It must therefore start by 5.40 or the Oopse is abandoned. The match nishes at 5.40 (having started 30 minutes late and overrun by 10 minutes). There is no extra time allocated to the Oopse which should start at 5.50. Any delay or interruption after 5.50 means the Oopse is abandoned.

ICC CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

INTRODUCTION

The ICC is the international federation responsible for the global governance of the sport of cricket and the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel (the Code of Conduct) is adopted and implemented as part of the ICCs continuing efforts to maintain the public image, popularity and integrity of cricket by providing: (a) an effective means to deter any participant from conducting themselves improperly on and off the eld-of-play or in a manner that is contrary to the spirit of cricket; and (b) a robust disciplinary procedure pursuant to which all matters of improper conduct can be dealt with fairly, with certainty and in an expeditious manner. Unless otherwise indicated, references to Articles and Appendices are to articles and appendices of the Code of Conduct. Words in italicised text in the Code of Conduct are dened terms and their denitions are set out in Appendix 1.

ARTICLE 1 - SCOPE AND APPLICATION

1.1 All Players and Player Support Personnel are automatically bound by and required to comply with all of the provisions of the Code of Conduct. Accordingly, by their participation (in the case of a Player) or assistance in a Players participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in an International Match, such Players or Player Support Personnel shall be deemed to have agreed: 1.1.1 that it is their personal responsibility to familiarise themselves with all of the requirements of the Code of Conduct, including what conduct constitutes an offence under the Code of Conduct; to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Match Referee, Judicial Commissioner or Appeal Panel convened under the Code of Conduct to hear and determine charges brought (and any appeals in relation thereto) pursuant to the Code of Conduct; and not to bring any proceedings in any court or other forum that are inconsistent with the foregoing submission to the jurisdiction of the Match Referee, Judicial Commissioner or Appeal Panel.

1.1.2

1.1.3

1.2

All Players and Player Support Personnel shall continue to be bound by and required to comply with the Code of Conduct until he/she has not participated (in the case of a Player), or assisted a Players participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in an International Match for a period of three (3) months and the ICC shall continue to have jurisdiction over him/her under the Code of Conduct thereafter in respect of matters taking place prior to that point. Without prejudice to Articles 1.1 and 1.2, the ICC and the National Cricket Federations shall be responsible for promoting Code of Conduct awareness and education amongst all Players and Player Support Personnel. It is acknowledged that certain Players and Player Support Personnel may also be subject to other rules of National Cricket Federations that govern discipline and/or conduct, and that the same conduct of such Players and/ or Player Support Personnel may implicate not only the Code of Conduct but also such other rules that may apply. For the avoidance of any doubt, Players and Player Support Personnel acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Code of Conduct is not intended to limit the responsibilities of any Player or Player Support Personnel under such other rules; and (b) nothing in such other rules shall be capable of removing, superseding or amending in any way the jurisdiction of the Match Referee, Judicial Commissioner or Appeal Panel to determine matters properly arising pursuant to the Code of Conduct.

1.5 For the avoidance of any doubt: 1.5.1

12

all Umpires and Match Referees ofciating in any International Matches are automatically bound by and required to comply with all of the provisions of the ICC Code of Conduct for Umpires and Referees; and where a representative side of a National Cricket Federation participates in an International Tour Match against a domestic or invitational team, for the purposes of their participation in such International Tour Match: 1.5.2.1 all Players and Player Support Personnel representing the National Cricket Federations representative side are automatically bound by, required to comply with, and shall submit themselves to the jurisdiction of this Code of Conduct; and 1.5.2.2 all players or player support personnel representing the domestic or invitational team shall not be bound by this Code of Conduct. Instead, such individuals will be bound by, required to comply with, and shall submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the relevant National Cricket Federations own applicable rules of conduct.

1.5.2

ARTICLE 2 - CODE OF CONDUCT OFFENCES

The conduct described in Articles 2.1 2.5, if committed by a Player or Player Support Personnel shall amount to an offence by such Player or Player Support Personnel under the Code of Conduct.
Comment: Where considered helpful, guidance notes have been provided in text boxes beneath the description of a particular offence. Such notes are intended only to provide guidance as to the nature and examples of certain conduct that might be prohibited by a particular Article and should not be read as an exhaustive or limiting list of conduct prohibited by such Article.

2.1

Level 1 Offences: 2.1.1 Breach of the ICCs Clothing and Equipment Regulations during an International Match, save for breaches relating to a Commercial Logo or a Players Bat Logo as those terms are dened therein.
Note: One of the core objectives of the ICCs Clothing and Equipment Regulations is to ensure appropriate and professional standards of appearance on the eld of play and to prevent those practices that undermine that objective (for example the cover up/alteration of clothing and equipment with sticking plaster or marker pens, the wearing of batting pads painted with paint that subsequently fades or falls off and/or the use of prohibited logos). For the avoidance of any doubt, there shall be no requirement that the Umpire must rst provide a warning to the offending person to remove or cover up a prohibited logo before a breach of this Article can be established. It shall be a defence to a charge brought under this Article to show that a Player or Player Support Personnel was required by his/her National Cricket Federation to use the offending clothing or equipment.

2.1.2

Abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or xtures and ttings during an International Match.

263

12

It shall not be a defence to any charge brought under this Article to show that the Umpire might have, or in fact did, get any decision wrong.

2.1.4

Using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an International Match.
Note: Article 2.1.4 includes: (a) excessively audible or repetitious swearing; and (b) obscene gestures which are not directed at another person, such as swearing in frustration at ones own poor play or fortune. In addition, this offence is not intended to penalise trivial behaviour. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the Umpire shall be required to take into account the context of the particular situation and whether the words or gesture are likely to: (a) be regarded as obscene; (b) give offence; or (c) insult another person. This offence is not intended to cover any use of language or gestures that are likely to offend another person on the basis of their race, religion, gender, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin. Such conduct is prohibited under the ICCs Anti-Racism Code and must be dealt with according to the procedures set out therein.

2.1.5

Note: Without limitation, Players and Player Support Personnel will breach Article 2.1.7 if they publicly criticise the Match ofcials or denigrate a Player or team against which they have played in relation to incidents which occurred in an International Match. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the context within which the comments have been made and the gravity of the offending comments must be taken into account.

264

ICC CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

2.1.8

12

Where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the above offences, conduct that either: (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute.
Note: Article 2.1.8 is intended to be a catch-all provision to cover all types of conduct of a minor nature that is not (and, because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specic offences set out elsewhere in the Code of Conduct. By way of example, Article 2.1.8(a) may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) prohibit the following: (a) the use of an illegal bat or illegal wicket-keeping gloves; (b) deliberate time wasting; (c) cheating during an International Match, including deliberate attempts to mislead the Umpire; (d) failure to comply with the provisions of clause 7.1 of the ICC Standard Test Match, ODI and Twenty20 International Match Playing Conditions; and (e) any conduct which is considered unfair play under Law 42 of the Laws of Cricket.

2.2

Level 2 Offences: 2.2.1 Showing serious dissent at an Umpires decision during an International Match.
Note: Dissent, including the examples given in Article 2.1.3 above will be classied as serious when the conduct contains an element of anger or abuse which is directed at the Umpire or the Umpires decision or where there is excessive delay in resuming play or leaving the wicket or where there is persistent re-reference to the incident over time. It shall not be a defence to any charge brought under this Article to show that the Umpire might have, or in fact did, get any decision wrong.

2.2.2 Breach of the ICCs Clothing and Equipment Regulations during an International Match relating to a Commercial Logo or a Players Bat Logo as those terms are dened.
Note: Article 2.2.2 only relates to breaches of the regulations regarding Commercial Logos and Players Bat Logos. For the avoidance of any doubt, there shall be no requirement that the Umpire must rst provide a warning to the offending person to remove or cover up a prohibited logo before a breach of this Article can be established. It shall be a defence to a charge brought under this Article to show that a Player or Player Support Personnel is required by his/her National Cricket Federation to use the offending clothing or equipment.

2.2.3 Serious public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an International Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match ofcial or team participating in any International Match, irrespective of when such criticism or inappropriate comment is made.
Note: Without limitation, Players and Player Support Personnel will breach this rule if they publicly criticise the Match ofcials or denigrate a Player or team against which they have played in relation to incidents which occurred in an International Match.

2.2.8 Using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a seriously insulting nature to another Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person during an International Match.
Note: It is acknowledged that there will be verbal exchanges between Players in the course of play. Rather than seeking to eliminate these exchanges entirely, Umpires will be required to report such conduct that falls below an acceptable standard. This offence is not intended to penalise trivial behaviour. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the Umpire shall be required to take into account the context of the particular situation and whether the words or gesture are likely to: (a) be regarded as seriously obscene; or (b) give serious offence; or (c) seriously insult another person. This offence is not intended to cover any use of language or gestures that are likely to offend another person on the basis of their race, religion, gender, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin.

The Umpires shall use their judgment to apply the principle that actions taken to maintain or enhance the condition of the ball, provided no articial substances are used, shall be permitted. Any actions taken with the purpose of damaging the condition of the ball or accelerating the deterioration of the condition of the ball shall not be permitted.

2.2.10 Any attempt to manipulate an International Match for inappropriate strategic or tactical reasons.
Note: Article 2.2.10 is intended to prevent the manipulation of International Matches for inappropriate strategic or tactical reasons (such as when a team deliberately loses a pool Match in an ICC Event in order to affect the standings of other teams in that ICC Event). It might also apply to the inappropriate manipulation of a net run rate or accumulation of bonus points or otherwise. Article 2.2.10 is not intended to cover any corrupt or fraudulent acts (including any use of inside information and/or related betting activity). Such conduct is prohibited under the ICCs Anti-Corruption Code and must be dealt with according to the procedures set out therein. The Team Captain of any team guilty of such conduct shall be held responsible (and subject to sanction) for any offence found to have been committed under this Article.

2.2.11 Where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the above offences, conduct that either: (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute.
Note: Article 2.2.11 is intended to be a catch-all provision to cover all types of conduct of a serious nature that is not (and, because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specic offences set out elsewhere in the Code of Conduct. See guidance notes to Article 2.1.8 for examples of conduct that may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) be prohibited under Article 2.2.11.

2.3

Level 3 Offences: 2.3.1 Intimidation of an Umpire or Match Referee whether by language or conduct (including gestures) during an International Match.

2.3.2 Threat of assault on another Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match. 2.3.3 Where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the above offences, conduct that either: (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute.
Note: Article 2.3.3 is intended to be a catch-all provision to cover all types of conduct of a very serious nature that is not (and, because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specic offences set out elsewhere in the Code of Conduct. See guidance notes to Article 2.1.8 for examples of conduct that may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) be prohibited under Article 2.3.3.

Note: Article 2.4.4 is intended to be a catch-all provision to cover all types of conduct of an overwhelmingly serious nature that is not (and, because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specic offences set out elsewhere in the Code of Conduct. See guidance notes to Article 2.1.8 for examples of conduct that may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) be prohibited under Article 2.4.4.

2.5

Minimum Over Rate Offences: Failure by a elding team participating in an International Match to meet the Minimum Over Rate requirements contained in Appendix 2 constitutes an offence under this Code of Conduct by the relevant Team Captain and each of the Players in that elding team according to the following: 2.5.1 where the actual over rate in any Test Match or any other International Match of at least four days in duration is up to (and including) ve overs short of the Minimum Over Rate, or, in any One Day International Match, Twenty20 International Match or any other International Match of fty (50) or twenty (20) overs per side, up to (and including) two overs short of the Minimum Over Rate, such an offence shall be considered a Minor Over Rate Offence.

2.5.2 where the actual over rate in any Test Match or any other International Match of at least four days in duration is more than ve overs short of the Minimum Over Rate, or, in any One Day International Match, Twenty20 International Match or any other International Match of fty (50) or twenty (20) overs per side, is more than two overs short of the Minimum Over Rate, such an offence shall be considered a Serious Over Rate Offence.
Note: Subjective intent on behalf of the Team Captain to waste time is not required. It is sufcient to establish that the Minimum Over Rate was not met. To avoid liability under this offence the Team Captain would need to establish, on the balance of probabilities, that the shortfall was due to factors beyond his control and that the time allowances permitted by the Match ofcials in calculating the required over rate were not sufcient. The presence or absence of subjective intent and the extent of the shortfall shall be relevant in relation to the issue of penalty.

The non-attendance of any Player or Player Support Personnel or his/her representative at the hearing, shall not prevent the Match Referee from proceeding with the hearing in his/her absence and issuing a ruling in relation to the offence charged. At the end of a hearing, where the Match Referee considers that further evidence is necessary or further time is required to consider the evidence that has been presented, he/she shall adjourn the hearing for an appropriate period of time and make such directions as may be necessary.

5.2.13 The Judicial Commissioner shall have the discretion to announce the substance of his/her decision prior to the issue of the written reasoned decision referred to in Article 5.2.12. 5.2.14 A copy of the written reasoned decision will be provided to the Player or Player Support Personnel, the CEO of the Player or Player Support Personnels National Cricket Federation, and the ICCs Cricket Operations Manager. 5.2.15 Subject only to the rights of appeal under Article 8, the Judicial Commissioners decision shall be the full, nal and complete disposition of the matter and will be binding on all parties. General Principles of Procedure 5.3 Where a Report is led by more than one of the individuals described in Article 3.2 in relation to the same alleged offence under the Code of Conduct, then the Player or Player Support Personnel alleged to have committed the offence will only be served with one Notice of Charge in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 4. However, all persons who led a Report (or, in the case of the ICCs Chief Executive Ofcer, his/her representative/nominee) in relation to the alleged offence are required to attend the hearing before the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner unless there is a compelling justication for his/ her non-attendance, in which case they shall be given the opportunity to participate in the hearing by telephone or video conference (if available). Where two or more Players or Player Support Personnel are alleged to have committed offences under the Code of Conduct, they may both be dealt with at the same hearing where the proceedings arise out of the same incident or set of facts, or where there is a clear link between separate incidents, provided that the Code of Conduct permits the alleged offences to be determined by the same adjudicator. For the avoidance of doubt:

5.4

277

12

ICC CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

5.4.1 any number of Level 1 Offences and/or Level 2 Offences can all be determined by a Match Referee at the same hearing; and 5.4.2 any number of Level 3 Offences and/or Level 4 Offences can all be determined by a Judicial Commissioner at the same hearing; but 5.4.3 a Level 1 Offence or Level 2 Offence cannot be determined at the same hearing as a Level 3 Offence or a Level 4 Offence (and vice versa), and separate proceedings should therefore be issued in relation to each alleged offence.

Where a Player or Player Support Personnel is alleged to have committed more than one breach of the Code of Conduct during, or in relation to the same International Match, then all of the alleged offences may be dealt with at the same hearing, provided that the Code of Conduct permits the offences that are alleged to have been committed to be determined by the same adjudicator. For the avoidance of doubt: 5.5.1 any number of Level 1 Offences and/or Level 2 Offences can all be determined by a Match Referee at the same hearing; and

5.5.2 any number of Level 3 Offences and/or Level 4 Offences can all be determined by a Judicial Commissioner at the same hearing; but 5.5.3 a Level 1 Offence or Level 2 Offence cannot be determined at the same hearing as a Level 3 Offence or a Level 4 Offence, and separate proceedings should therefore be issued in relation to each alleged offence. 5.6 Any failure or refusal by any Player or Player Support Personnel to provide assistance to a Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner in connection with any charge made pursuant to this Code of Conduct may constitute a separate offence (depending upon the seriousness and context of such failure or refusal) under Articles 2.1.8, 2.2.12, 2.3.3 or 2.4.3 of the Code of Conduct. Where a Match Referee is, or becomes unwilling or unable to hear a case (for example, where he/she nds him/herself in a position of conict), then the ICCs Head of Legal shall have the discretion to appoint the ICCs Chief Referee or such other referee as the ICC deems to be appropriate in all the circumstances. Where the ICCs Chief Referee (or such other referee) is unwilling or unable to hear the case, a member of the ICCs Code of Conduct Commission (who shall have had no prior involvement with the case and shall not, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, be from a country participating in the International Match during, or in relation to which, the alleged offence was committed) as a replacement to the Match Referee and all of the remaining procedure will apply accordingly Where a Judicial Commissioner is, or becomes unwilling or unable to hear a case (for example, where he/she nds him/herself in a position of conict), then the ICCs Head of Legal shall have the discretion to appoint another member of the ICCs Code of Conduct Commission (who shall have had no prior involvement with the case and shall not, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, be from a country participating in the International Match during, or in relation to which, the alleged offence was committed) as a replacement to the Judicial Commissioner and all of the remaining procedure will apply accordingly.

The ICC will issue a public announcement regarding any decision of the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner made under the Code of Conduct, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the decision has been communicated to the parties. The public announcement of the decision may include details of the offences committed under the Code of Conduct and of the sanctions imposed, if any. Until such time as a public announcement is published, all parties and participants in the proceedings shall treat such proceedings as strictly condential. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article shall prevent any party (or any relevant National Cricket Federation) publicly conrming the date of the hearing, the offence that is alleged to have been committed and/or the name of the Player or Player Support Personnel charged.

ARTICLE 6 - STANDARD OF PROOF AND EVIDENCE

6.1 Unless otherwise described herein, the standard of proof in all cases brought under the Code of Conduct shall be whether the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner is comfortably satised, bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegation that is made, that the alleged offence has been committed. This standard of proof in all cases shall be determined on a sliding scale from, at a minimum, a mere balance of probability (for the least serious offences) up to proof beyond a reasonable doubt (for the most serious offences). The Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner shall not be bound by judicial rules governing the admissibility of evidence. Instead, facts relating to an offence committed under the Code of Conduct may be established by any reliable means, including admissions. The Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner may draw an inference adverse to the Player or Player Support Personnel who is asserted to have committed an offence under the Code of Conduct based on his/ her refusal, without compelling justication, after a request made in a reasonable time in advance of the hearing, to appear at the hearing (either in person or telephonically as directed by the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner) and/or to answer any relevant questions.

6.2

6.3

ARTICLE 7 - SANCTIONS ON PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

7.1 Where a Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner determines that an offence under the Code of Conduct has been committed, he/she will be required to impose an appropriate sanction on the Player or Player Support Personnel. In order to determine the sanction that is to be imposed in each case, the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner must rst consider whether the Player or Player Support Personnel has previously been found guilty of an offence under the same Article of the Code of Conduct (or any predecessor regulations that may have applied) within a period of twelve months prior to the date on which the alleged offence took place. Once the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner has established whether this is a repeat offence within the relevant twelve month period, then he/ she shall go on to take into account any other factors that he/she deems relevant and appropriate to the mitigation or aggravation of the nature of the Code of Conduct offence (including, without limitation, the nature and frequency of any previous offences under the Code of Conduct) before determining, in accordance with the following table, what the appropriate sanction(s) should be:

280

ICC CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

7.5.1

12

the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner shall have regard to the Players or Player Support Personnels participation in the various formats of International Matches over the previous two years in order to determine (to the best of his/her ability) which of the forthcoming International Matches the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in; where necessary, the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner shall be entitled to consult with the ICC in order to make a determination as to which of the forthcoming International Matches the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in; in so far as is reasonably possible, the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner shall apply the Suspension Points to the subsequent International Matches in which the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in, on a chronological basis immediately following the announcement of the decision; where a Player or Player Support Personnel has his/her Suspension Points applied to an International Match that is subsequently cancelled, postponed or otherwise abandoned prior to the actual day on which it is scheduled to take place, then such Suspension Points must be reallocated to the next subsequent International Matches in which the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in. Where an International Match is cancelled, postponed or otherwise abandoned at any time on the actual day on which it is scheduled to take place, then the Suspension Points will remain allocated to that International Match, irrespective of such cancellation, postponement or abandonment.

7.5.2

7.5.3

7.5.4

Examples of the Application of Suspension Points: 1 Where a Players playing history suggests that he/she is most likely to represent his National Cricket Federation in Test Matches only, then the Suspension Points shall be applied to his/her future participation in Test Matches only, so that six (6) Suspension Points would be applied to the three (3) Test Matches immediately following the announcement of the decision, notwithstanding that the National Cricket Federation might be participating in intervening One Day International Matches and/or Twenty20 International Matches. Where a Players playing history suggests that he/she is likely to be selected to represent his National Cricket Federation in all formats of International Matches, then the Suspension Points shall be applied to his/her future participation in all International Matches in the sequential order in which such International Matches take place immediately following the announcement of the decision. The examples set out below, would apply to the following chronological list of potential playing xtures:

a) One (1) Suspension Point would be applied to Match A; b) Two (2) Suspension Points would be applied to Matches A and B; c) Three (3) Suspension Points would be applied to Matches A, B and E; d) Four (4) Suspension Point would be applied to Match A, B and C; e) Five (5) Suspension Points would be applied to Matches A, B, C and E; f) Six (6) Suspension Points would be applied to Matches A, B, C and D; g) Seven (7) Suspension Points would be applied to Matches A, B, C, D and E; h) Eight (8) Suspension Points would be applied to Matches A, B, C, D, E and F. 7.6 For the avoidance of any doubt: 7.6.1 7.6.2 the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner will have no jurisdiction to adjust, reverse or amend the results of any International Match; where a Player or Player Support Personnel is found guilty of committing two separate Code of Conduct offences that do not relate to the same incident or set of circumstances arising during an International Match and sanctioned separately for each offence, then any sanctions should run cumulatively (and not concurrently);

7.6.3 where a Player or Player Support Personnel is found guilty of committing two Code of Conduct offences in relation to the same incident or set of circumstances arising during an International Match and sanctioned separately, then any sanctions imposed should run concurrently (and not cumulatively); 7.6.4 nothing in this Code of Conduct shall permit plea bargaining in relation to any alleged offence committed under this Code of Conduct; 7.6.5 where the Match Referee or Judicial Commissioner nds a Player or Player Support Personnel not guilty of the offence allegedly committed under the Code of Conduct, then it remains open to him/her, at his/her discretion, to nd the Player or Player Support Personnel guilty of an offence of a lower level than that with which he/she has been charged. For example where a Player or Player Support Personnel has been charged with (but been found not guilty of) the Level 2 Offence of showing serious dissent at an Umpires decision (Article 2.2.1), the Match Referee may, instead, nd the Player or Player Support Personnel guilty of the Level 1 Offence of showing dissent at an Umpires decision (Article 2.1.3) and impose an appropriate sanction; and 7.6.6 where a ne and/or costs award is imposed against a Player or Player Support Personnel, then such ne and/or costs award must be paid: (a) by the Player or Player Support Personnel (and not any other third party, including a National Cricket Federation); (b) to

282

ICC CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

12

the Player or Player Support Personnels National Cricket Federation (for onward transmission to the ICC) within one calendar month of receipt of the decision imposing the ne. However, the ICC will consider any request from any Player or Player Support Personnel to make the payment of such nes and/or costs over a prolonged period of time on the grounds of nancial hardship. Should any ne and/or costs award (or agreed part-payment or instalment thereof) not be paid to the relevant National Cricket Federation within such deadline or by the time of the next agreed payment date, the Player or Player Support Personnel may not play, coach or otherwise participate or be involved in any capacity in any International Match until such payment has been satised in full. 7.7 Where a Player or Player Support Personnel has had Suspension Points imposed against him/her or has been suspended for a xed period of time, he/she may not play, coach or otherwise participate or be involved in any capacity in the International Match(es) which: (a) are covered by the application of his/her Suspension Points as determined in accordance with Article 7.7; or (b) take place during the xed period of his/her suspension. Once any Suspension Points or xed period of suspension has expired, the Player or Player Support Personnel will automatically become re-eligible to participate (in the case of a Player) or assist the participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in International Matches provided that he/she has paid, in full, all amounts forfeited under the Code of Conduct, including any nes, compensatory awards or award of costs that may have been imposed against him/her.

ICC ANTI-RACISM CODE FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

INTRODUCTION

The ICC is the international federation responsible for the global governance of the sport of cricket and the Anti-Racism Code for Players and Player Support Personnel (the Anti-Racism Code) is adopted and implemented as part of the ICCs continuing efforts to maintain the public image, popularity and integrity of cricket by providing: (a) an effective means to deter any participant from conducting themselves in a manner that may be construed as racially and/or religiously offensive; and (b) a robust disciplinary procedure pursuant to which all matters of improper conduct of this nature can be dealt with fairly, with certainty and in an expeditious manner. Unless otherwise indicated, references to Articles and Appendices are to articles and appendices of the Anti-Racism Code. Words in italicised text in the Anti-Racism Code are dened terms and their denitions are set out in Appendix 1.

ARTICLE 1 - SCOPE AND APPLICATION

1.1 All Players and Player Support Personnel are automatically bound by and required to comply with all of the provisions of the Anti-Racism Code. Accordingly, by their participation (in the case of a Player) or assistance in participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in an International Match, such Players or Player Support Personnel shall be deemed to have agreed: 1.1.1 that it is their personal responsibility to familiarise themselves with all of the requirements of the Anti-Racism Code, including what conduct constitutes an offence under the Anti-Racism Code; to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Judicial Commissioner or Appeal Panel convened under the Anti-Racism Code to hear and determine charges brought (and any appeals in relation thereto) pursuant to the Anti-Racism Code; and not to bring any proceedings in any court or other forum that are inconsistent with the foregoing submission to the jurisdiction of the Judicial Commissioner or Appeal Panel.

Without prejudice to Articles 1.1 and 1.2, the ICC and the National Cricket Federations shall be responsible for promoting Anti-Racism Code awareness and education amongst all Players and Player Support Personnel. It is acknowledged that certain Players and Player Support Personnel may also be subject to other rules of National Cricket Federations that govern discipline and/or conduct, and that the same conduct of such Players and/or Player Support Personnel may implicate not only the Anti-Racism Code but also such other rules that may apply. For the avoidance of any doubt, Players and Player Support Personnel acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Anti-Racism Code is not intended to limit the responsibilities of any Player or Player Support Personnel under such other rules; and (b) nothing in such other rules shall be capable of removing, superseding or amending in any way the jurisdiction of the Judicial Commissioner or Appeal Panel to determine matters properly arising pursuant to the Anti-Racism Code.

The conduct prohibited under the Anti-Racism Code may also constitute a breach of other applicable laws or regulations (e.g. governing equal opportunities and/or anti-discrimination). The Anti-Racism Code is intended to supplement such laws and regulations with further rules of professional conduct for those involved in the sport of cricket. It is not intended, and may not be interpreted, construed or applied, to prejudice or undermine in any way the application of such laws and regulations. Players and Player Support Personnel must comply with all applicable laws and regulations at all times. For the avoidance of any doubt: 1.6.1 the Anti-Racism Code is not intended in any way to replace the ICC Anti-Racism Policy for Members (as amended from time to time) which shall remain in full force and effect and to which the ICC and all National Cricket Federations agree to be bound at all times; all Umpires and Match Referees ofciating in any International Matches are automatically bound by and required to comply with all of the provisions of the ICC Code of Conduct for Umpires and Referees; and where a representative side of a National Cricket Federation participates in an International Tour Match against a domestic or invitational team, for the purposes of their participation in such International Tour Match: 1.6.3.1 all Players and Player Support Personnel representing the National Cricket Federations representative side are automatically bound by, required to comply with, and shall submit themselves to the jurisdiction of this Anti-Racism Code; and 1.6.3.2 all players or player support personnel representing the domestic or invitational team shall not be bound by this Anti-Racism Code.

General Principles of Procedure 5.2

14

Where a Report is led by more than one of the individuals described in Article 3.1 in relation to the same alleged offence under the Anti-Racism Code, then the Player or Player Support Personnel alleged to have committed the offence will only be served with one Notice of Charge in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 4. However, all persons who led a Report (or, in the case of the ICCs Chief Executive, his/her representative/nominee) in relation to the alleged offence are required to attend the hearing before the Judicial Commissioner unless there is a compelling justication for his/her non-attendance, in which case they shall be given the opportunity to participate in the hearing by telephone or video conference (if available). Where two or more Players or Player Support Personnel are alleged to have committed offences under the Anti-Racism Code, they may both be dealt with at the same hearing where the proceedings arise out of the same incident or set of facts, or where there is a clear link between separate incidents. Where a Player or Player Support Personnel is alleged to have committed more than one breach of the Anti-Racism Code during, or in relation to, the same International Match, then all of the alleged offences may be dealt with at the same hearing. Any failure or refusal by any Player or Player Support Personnel to provide assistance to a Judicial Commissioner in connection with any charge made pursuant to this Anti-Racism Code may constitute a separate offence (depending upon the seriousness and context of such failure or refusal) under Articles 2.1.8, 2.2.11, 2.3.3 or 2.4.3 of the Code of Conduct. Where a Judicial Commissioner is, or becomes unwilling or unable to hear a case (for example, where he/she nds him/herself in a position of conict), then the ICCs Head of Legal shall have the discretion to appoint another member of the ICCs Code of Conduct Commission as a replacement to the Judicial Commissioner and all of the remaining procedure will apply accordingly. The ICC will issue a public announcement regarding any decision of the Judicial Commissioner made under the Anti-Racism Code, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the decision has been communicated to the parties. The public announcement of the decision may include details of the offences committed under the Anti-Racism Code and of the sanctions imposed, if any. Until such time as a public announcement is published, all parties and participants in the proceedings shall treat such proceedings as strictly condential. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article shall prevent any party (or any relevant National Cricket Federation) publicly conrming the date of the hearing, the offence that is alleged to have been committed and/or the name of the Player or Player Support Personnel charged.

5.3

5.4

5.5

5.6

5.7

ARTICLE 6 - STANDARD OF PROOF AND EVIDENCE

6.1 Unless otherwise described herein, the standard of proof in all cases brought under the Anti-Racism Code shall be whether the Judicial Commissioner is comfortably satised, bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegation that is made, that the alleged offence has been committed. This standard of proof in all cases shall be determined on a sliding scale from, at a minimum, a mere balance of probability (for the least serious offences) up to proof beyond a reasonable doubt (for the most serious offences).

313

14
6.2

ICC ANTI-RACISM CODE FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

The Judicial Commissioner shall not be bound by judicial rules governing the admissibility of evidence. Instead, facts relating to any alleged offence under the Anti-Racism Code may be established by any reliable means, including admissions. However, all statements, submissions and/ or evidence made, heard or disclosed during any part of any conciliation process pursuant to Article 4.3, shall be so made, heard or disclosed strictly (unless the relevant party agrees) on a without prejudice basis and used for the purposes of the conciliation process only. Accordingly, no such statements, submissions and/or evidence shall be adduced, given or accepted during any disciplinary hearing before the Judicial Commissioner without the express consent of the relevant party. The Judicial Commissioner may draw an inference adverse to the Player or Player Support Personnel who is asserted to have committed an offence under the Anti-Racism Code based on his/her refusal, without compelling justication, after a request made in a reasonable time in advance of the hearing, to appear at the hearing (either in person or telephonically as directed by the Judicial Commissioner) and/or to answer any relevant questions.

6.3

ARTICLE 7 - SANCTIONS
7.1 Where a Judicial Commissioner determines that an offence under the Anti-Racism Code has been committed, he/she will be required to impose an appropriate sanction on the Player or Player Support Personnel. In order to determine the appropriate sanction that is to be imposed in each case, the Judicial Commissioner must rst consider whether the Player or Player Support Personnel has previously been found guilty of the same offence under the Anti-Racism Code or any predecessor regulations that may have applied (including the Code of Conduct). Once the Judicial Commissioner has established whether this is a repeat offence, then he/she shall go on to take into account any other factors that he/she deems relevant and appropriate to the mitigation or aggravation of the nature of the offence (including, without limitation, the nature and frequency of any previous offences under the Anti-Racism Code or any predecessor regulations) before determining, in accordance with the following table, what the appropriate sanction(s) should be:
RANGE OF PERMISSIBLE SANCTIONS (SECOND OFFENCE) The imposition of between eight (8) Suspension Points and a lifetimes suspension. RANGE OF PERMISSIBLE SANCTIONS (THIRD OFFENCE) The imposition of a suspension of between one (1) year and a lifetime.

7.2

7.3

RANGE OF PERMISSIBLE SANCTIONS (FIRST OFFENCE) The imposition of between four (4) and eight (8) Suspension Points.

AND (in all cases) The mandatory requirement to undergo a programme of education/counselling designed to promote the understanding and awareness of issues directly relevant to the offence that the Player or Player Support Personnel has been determined to have committed.

7.4

14

Where a Judicial Commissioner imposes a period of suspension on any Player or Player Support Personnel, then, unless such period is for a xed period of time (for example, one year) then, any such period of suspension shall be referenced by Suspension Points, which shall carry the following weightings: 7.4.1 a Test Match or any other International Match of at least four days in duration is given a weighting of two (2) Suspension Points;

7.4.2 a One Day International Match or Twenty20 International Match is given a weighting of one (1) Suspension Point; and 7.4.3 all other International Matches are given a weighting of one (1) Suspension Point. 7.5 Where Suspension Points are imposed against a Player or Player Support Personnel, then such Suspension Points will be applied in accordance with the following principles: 7.5.1 the Judicial Commissioner shall have regard to the Players or Player Support Personnels participation in the various formats of International Matches over the previous two years in order to determine (to the best of his/her ability) which of the forthcoming International Matches the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in; where necessary, the Judicial Commissioner shall be entitled to consult with the ICC in order to make a determination as to which of the forthcoming International Matches the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in; in so far as is reasonably possible, the Judicial Commissioner shall apply the Suspension Points to the subsequent International Matches in which the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in, on a chronological basis immediately following the announcement of the decision;

7.5.2

7.5.3

7.5.4 where a Player or Player Support Personnel has his/her Suspension Points applied to an International Match that is subsequently cancelled, postponed or otherwise abandoned prior to the actual day on which it is scheduled to take place, then such Suspension Points must be reallocated to the next subsequent International Matches in which the Player is most likely to participate in or the Player Support Personnel is most likely to assist the participation of a Player in. Where an International Match is cancelled, postponed or otherwise abandoned at any time on the actual day on which it is scheduled to take place, then the Suspension Points will remain allocated to that International Match, irrespective of such cancellation, postponement or abandonment.

ICC ANTI-RACISM CODE FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

Examples of the Application of Suspension Points: 1

Where a Players playing history suggests that he/she is most likely to represent his National Cricket Federation in Test Matches only, then the Suspension Points shall be applied to his/her future participation in Test Matches only, so that six (6) Suspension Points would be applied to the three (3) Test Matches immediately following the announcement of the decision, notwithstanding that the National Cricket Federation might be participating in intervening One Day International Matches and/or Twenty20 International Matches. Where a Players playing history suggests that he/she is likely to be selected to represent his National Cricket Federation in all formats of International Matches, then the Suspension Points shall be applied to his/her future participation in all International Matches in the sequential order in which such International Matches take place immediately following the announcement of the decision. The examples set out below, would apply to the following chronological list of potential playing xtures: Code of Conduct decision One-Day International Match - weighting 1 Suspension Point (Match A) One-Day International Match - weighting 1 Suspension Point (Match B) Test Match - weighting 2 Suspension Point (Match C) Test Match weighting 2 Suspension Point (Match D) Twenty20 International Match - weighting 1 Suspension Point (Match E) Twenty20 International Match - weighting 1 Suspension Point (Match F)

ICC ANTI-DOPING CODE
The ICC has a zero-tolerance approach to doping in cricket in support of its continued efforts to: (a) maintain the integrity of the sport of cricket; (b) protect the health and rights of all participants in the sport of cricket; and (c) keep the sport of cricket free from doping. Consistent with the WADA Code, the ICCs Anti-Doping Code (the Code) ensures cricket plays its part in the global ght against drugs in sport. All international cricketers (as dened in the Code) are bound by the Code and are required to sign a Consent and Agreement form acknowledging that the Code applies to them. Under the Code, all international cricketers can be subject to both In and Out-ofCompetition testing by the ICC any day, anytime, 365 days of the year. Whilst it remains the responsibility of each National Cricket Federation to educate their own international cricketers in all aspects of anti-doping and to ensure that such cricketers are aware of the Code and that it applies to them, it is ultimately each cricketers personal responsibility to: 1 acquaint him/herself, and ensure that each person from whom he/she takes advice (including medical personnel) is acquainted with all of the requirements of the Code; 2 know what constitutes an anti-doping rule violation under the Code and what substances and methods have been included on the Prohibited List; 3 ensure that anything he/she ingests or uses, as well as any medical treatment he/she receives, does not give rise to an anti-doping rule violation under the Code; and 4 make him/herself available upon request for Testing, both In-Competition and Out-of-Competition. The full version of the ICCs Anti-Doping Code can be found in the anti-doping section of the ICCs website: www.icc-cricket.com and all players are strongly recommended to review the Code in its entirety. In addition, the ICC has also developed numerous guidance notes, educational materials and documentation, all of which are also available on the website. Finally, if any player, player support personnel or National Cricket Federation has any questions, concerns or comments in relation to any aspect of anti-doping, including the Code, then they should contact the ICCs Anti-Doping team on the following details: ICC Anti-Doping Telephone: + 971 4 382 8800 (ofce hours, + 4 GMT) Mobile: + 971 50 554 5891 (24 hours) Fax: + 971 4 340 9336 (dedicated) E-mail: [email protected] (condential)

1.1

ICC ANTI-CORRUPTION CODE FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

ARTICLE 1 - INTRODUCTION, SCOPE AND APPLICATION

The ICC has adopted this Anti-Corruption Code in recognition of the following fundamental sporting imperatives: 1.1.1 All cricket matches are to be contested on a level playing-eld, with the outcome to be determined solely by the respective merits of the competing teams and to remain uncertain until the cricket match is completed. This is the essential characteristic that gives sport its unique appeal. Public condence in the authenticity and integrity of the sporting contest is therefore vital. If that condence is undermined, then the very essence of cricket will be shaken to the core. It is the determination to protect that essence of cricket that has led the ICC to adopt the Anti-Corruption Code. Advancing technology and increasing popularity have led to a substantial increase in the amount, and the sophistication, of betting on cricket matches. The development of new betting products, including spread-betting and betting exchanges, as well as internet and phone accounts that allow people to place a bet at any time and from any place, even after a cricket match has started, have all increased the potential for the development of corrupt betting practices. That, in turn, increases the risk that attempts will be made to involve participants in such practices. Even where that risk is more theoretical than practical, its consequence is to create a perception that the integrity of the sport is under threat. Furthermore, it is of the nature of this type of misconduct that it is carried out under cover and in secret, thereby creating signicant challenges for the ICC in the enforcement of rules of conduct. As a consequence, the ICC needs to be empowered to seek information from and share information with competent authorities and other relevant third parties, and to require Players and Player Support Personnel to cooperate fully with all investigations and requests for information. The ICC is committed to taking every step in its power to prevent corrupt betting practices undermining the integrity of the sport of cricket, including any efforts to inuence improperly the outcome or any other aspect of an International Match or ICC Event.

1.1.2

1.1.3

1.1.4

1.1.5

1.2

The Anti-Corruption Code is to be interpreted and applied by reference to the fundamental sporting imperatives described in Article 1.1. This includes but is not limited to cases where an issue arises that is not expressly addressed in the Anti-Corruption Code. Such interpretation and application shall take precedence over any strict legal or technical interpretations of the Anti-Corruption Code that may otherwise be proposed. All Players and Player Support Personnel are automatically bound by and required to comply with all of the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Code. Accordingly, by their participation (in the case of a Player) or assistance in a Players participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in an International Match, such Players and Player Support Personnel shall be deemed to have agreed: 1.3.1 for purposes of applicable data protection and other laws and for all other purposes, to have consented to the collection, processing, disclosure and use of information relating to him/herself and his/ her activities, including personal information relating to him/ herself and his/her activities, to the extent expressly permitted under the terms of the Anti-Corruption Code, and shall conrm such agreement in writing upon demand;

1.3.2

that it is their personal responsibility to familiarise themselves with all of the requirements of the Anti-Corruption Code, including what conduct constitutes an offence under the Anti-Corruption Code, and to comply with those requirements; to submit to the authority of the ICC (including as delegated to any member of the ACSU) to adopt, apply, monitor and enforce the Anti-Corruption Code; to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Anti-Corruption Tribunal convened under the Anti-Corruption Code to hear and determine charges brought by the ICC and/or related issues under the Anti-Corruption Code; to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any CAS panel convened under the Anti-Corruption Code to hear and determine appeals made pursuant to the Anti-Corruption Code; and not to bring any proceedings in any court or other forum that are inconsistent with the foregoing submissions to the jurisdiction of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal and the CAS.

1.3.6

1.4

Each Player and Player Support Personnel shall continue to be bound by and required to comply with the Anti-Corruption Code until he/she has not participated (in the case of a Player) or assisted in a Players participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in an International Match for a period of three (3) months. The ICC shall continue to have jurisdiction over him/her under the Anti-Corruption Code thereafter in respect of matters taking place prior to that point. Without prejudice to Articles 1.3 and 1.4, the ICC (through the ACSU) and the National Cricket Federations shall be responsible for promoting Anti-Corruption Code awareness and education amongst all Players and Player Support Personnel. It is acknowledged that certain Players and Player Support Personnel may also be subject to separate anti-corruption rules of National Cricket Federations applicable at a national level, and that the same conduct of such Players and Player Support Personnel may implicate not only the Anti-Corruption Code but also such other anti-corruption rules that may apply. For the avoidance of any doubt, Players and Player Support Personnel acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Anti-Corruption Code is not intended to limit the responsibilities of any Player or Player Support Personnel under such other rules; and (b) nothing in such other rules shall be capable of removing, superseding or amending in any way the jurisdiction of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal or CAS panel to determine matters properly arising under the Anti-Corruption Code. The conduct prohibited under the Anti-Corruption Code may also be a criminal offence and/or a breach of other applicable laws or regulations. The Anti-Corruption Code is intended to supplement such laws and regulations with further rules of professional conduct for those involved in the sport of cricket. It is not intended, and should not be interpreted, construed or applied, to prejudice or undermine in any way the application of such laws and regulations. Players and Player Support Personnel must comply with all applicable laws and regulations at all times. For the avoidance of any doubt: 1.8.1 all Umpires and Match Referees that ofciate in any International Match are automatically bound by and required to comply with the similar anti-corruption provisions set out in the ICC Code of Conduct for Umpires and Referees;

It shall be a valid defence to a charge of an offence under the AntiCorruption Code to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that the alleged offence was committed (and that it was not reported to the ACSU thereafter) due to the Player or Player Support Personnels honest and reasonable belief that there was a serious threat to his/her life or safety or to the life or safety of any other person.

ARTICLE 3 - STANDARD OF PROOF AND EVIDENCE

3.1 Unless otherwise described herein, the burden of proof shall be on the ACSUs General Manager and the standard of proof in all cases brought under the Anti-Corruption Code shall be whether the Anti-Corruption Tribunal is comfortably satised, bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegation that is being made, that the alleged offence has been committed. This standard of proof in all cases shall be determined on a sliding scale from, at a minimum, a mere balance of probability (for the least serious offences) up to proof beyond a reasonable doubt (for the most serious offences). The Anti-Corruption Tribunal shall not be bound by judicial rules governing the admissibility of evidence. Instead, facts relating to an offence under the Anti-Corruption Code may be established by any reliable means, including admissions. The following rules of proof shall be applicable at the hearing: 3.2.1 The Anti-Corruption Tribunal shall have discretion to accept any facts established by a decision of a court or professional disciplinary tribunal of competent jurisdiction which is not the subject of a pending appeal as irrebuttable evidence against the Player or Player Support Personnel to whom the decision pertained of those facts, unless the Player or Player Support Personnel establishes that the decision violated principles of natural justice.

3.2

3.2.2 The Anti-Corruption Tribunal may draw an inference adverse to the Player or Player Support Personnel who is asserted to have committed an offence under the Anti-Corruption Code based on his/her refusal, without compelling justication, after a request made in a reasonable time in advance of the hearing, to appear at the hearing (either in person or telephonically as directed by the Anti-Corruption Tribunal) and to answer any relevant questions.

ARTICLE 4 - INVESTIGATIONS AND NOTICE OF CHARGE

4.1 Any allegation or suspicion of a breach of the Anti-Corruption Code, whatever the source, shall be referred to the ACSU General Manager for investigation and possible charge in accordance with Article 4.5.

The Chairman of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission shall appoint three members from the ICC Code of Conduct Commission (which may include the Chairman) to form the Anti-Corruption Tribunal to hear each case. One member of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal, who shall be a lawyer, shall sit as the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal. The appointed members shall be independent of the parties, have had no prior involvement with the case and shall not, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, be from the same country as the Player or Player Support Personnel alleged to have breached the Anti-Corruption Code. The Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal shall convene a preliminary hearing with the ICC and its legal representatives, together with the Player or Player Support Personnel and his/her legal representatives (if any). At the discretion of the Chairman, a representative of the Players or Players Support Personnels relevant National Cricket Federation may also attend any such hearing (but strictly as an observer only and with no right to be heard). The preliminary hearing should take place as soon as possible by telephone conference call unless the Chairman determines otherwise. The non-participation, without compelling justication, of the Player or Player Support Personnel or his/her representative at the preliminary hearing, after proper notice of the preliminary hearing has been provided, shall not prevent the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal from proceeding with the preliminary hearing, whether or not any written submissions are made on behalf of the Player or Player Support Personnel.

In particular (but without limitation), the Chairman shall: 5.1.4.1 determine the date(s) upon which the full hearing shall be held.

If any objection is made, the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal shall rule on its legitimacy (or, if the objection relates to the Chairman, the Chairman of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission shall rule on its legitimacy). If, because of a legitimate objection or for any other reason, a member of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal is, or becomes, unwilling or unable to hear the case, then the Chairman of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission may, at his/her absolute discretion: (a) appoint a replacement member of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal from the ICCs Code of Conduct Commission; or (b) authorise the remaining members to hear the case on their own. Subject to the discretion of the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal to order otherwise for good cause shown by either party (for example, and notwithstanding clause 5.1.8, where, having due regard to the seriousness of the alleged offence, the costs of attending any hearing are disproportionate to the Player or Player Support Personnels means and therefore prohibit him/her from having a fair opportunity to present his/her case), or unless otherwise agreed between the parties, hearings before the Anti-Corruption Tribunal shall: (a) take place at the ICCs headquarters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and (b) be conducted on a condential basis. Each of the ICC and the Player or Player Support Personnel has the right to be present and to be heard at the hearing and (at his/her or its own expense) to be represented at the hearing by legal counsel of his/her or its own choosing.

6.3

ICC ANTI-CORRUPTION CODE FOR PLAYERS AND PLAYER SUPPORT PERSONNEL

For the avoidance of doubt: 6.3.1 the Anti-Corruption Tribunal will have no jurisdiction to adjust, reverse or amend the results of any International Match or ICC Event;

6.3.2 where a Player or Player Support Personnel is found guilty of committing two Anti-Corruption Code offences in relation to the same incident or set of facts and sanctioned separately, then any sanctions imposed should run concurrently (and not cumulatively); 6.3.3 where a ne and/or costs award is imposed against a Player or Player Support Personnel, then such ne and/or costs award must be paid: (a) by the Player or Player Support Personnel (and not, unless the ICC agrees, by any other third party, including a National Cricket Federation); (b) directly to the ICC within one calendar month of receipt of the decision imposing the ne. However, the ICC will consider any request from any Player or Player Support Personnel, on the grounds of nancial hardship, to make the payment of such nes and/or costs over a prolonged period of time. Should any ne and/or costs award (or agreed part-payment or instalment thereof) not be paid to the ICC within such deadline or by the time of the next agreed payment date, then, unless the ICC agrees otherwise, the Player or Player Support Personnel may not play, coach or otherwise participate or be involved in any capacity in any International Match until such payment has been satised in full; and 6.3.4 the ICC will provide the National Cricket Federation of the Player or Player Support Personnel with written notice of (and a full written copy of) the ndings and decisions of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal (including any sanctions imposed by the Anti-Corruption Tribunal) at the same time as such decision is provided to the Player or Player Support Personnel and prior to publicly announcing such decisions. 6.4 Any period of Ineligibility imposed on a Player or Player Support Personnel shall commence on the date that the decision imposing the period of Ineligibility is issued; provided that any period of Provisional Suspension served by the Player shall be credited against the total period of Ineligibility to be served. No Player or Player Support Personnel who has been declared Ineligible may, during the period of Ineligibility, play, coach or otherwise participate or be involved in any capacity in any International Match or any other kind of Match, function, event or activity (other than authorised anti-corruption education or rehabilitation programs) that is authorised, organised, sanctioned, recognised or supported in any way by the ICC, a National Cricket Federation or any member of a National Cricket Federation. National Cricket Federations shall take all reasonable steps within their powers to give effect to this Article 6.5 where they have the jurisdiction to do so. A Player or Player Support Personnel who is subject to a period of Ineligibility shall remain subject to the Anti-Corruption Code during that period. If a Player or Player Support Personnel commits an offence under the Anti-Corruption Code during a period of Ineligibility, this shall be treated as a separate offence under the Anti-Corruption Code and separate proceedings will be brought pursuant to Article 4.5. Once any period of Ineligibility has expired, the Player or Player Support Personnel will automatically become re-eligible to participate (in the case of a Player) or assist a Players participation (in the case of a Player Support Personnel) in International Matches and/or Matches provided that he/she has rst: (a) completed an ofcial anti-corruption education session to the reasonable satisfaction of ACSU; (b) satised, in full, any ne and/or award of costs made against him/her by any Anti-Corruption

TESTS, ONE-DAY AND TWENTY20 INTERNATIONALS

If in a Match as set out in paragraph 1.1.1(a) above, a Player is called by an Umpire under the provisions of Law 24.2 or is suspected by an Umpire or the Match Referee of bowling with an Illegal Bowling Action, the following procedure shall apply. Note: Umpires and Match Referees, in deciding whether to cite a Player under these Regulations, should use the naked eye viewing the action live and/or on television at normal speed. Slow motion television replays should only be used to conrm initial suspicions. 2.1 Reporting Procedure 2.1.1 At the conclusion of the relevant Match, the Umpire(s) and/or Match Referee shall write a report (the Match Ofcials Report) detailing their concerns about the bowling action of the relevant Player including, where relevant, whether those concerns relate to the Players bowling action generally or whether they relate to one or more specic types of delivery. If the Match Ofcials Report is written by the Umpires it shall be passed to the Match Referee. Within 24 hours of the conclusion of the Match in which the Player is reported, the Match Referee shall furnish the Players team manager and the ICC with a copy of the Match Ofcials Report. Once the Players team manager and the ICC have been furnished with a copy of the Match Ofcials Report and within 24 hours thereof, the Match Referee, through the Board of the Host Country, shall make a media statement to the effect that the Player has been reported as having a suspected Illegal Bowling Action and that he will be subject to the ICC review process as set out herein. If the Match is a televised Match, upon receipt of the Match Ofcials Report from the Match Referee, the ICC shall arrange for three copies of the television footage of the bowling spells of the Player in the relevant Match to be produced as soon as possible. Once these tapes have been received, the ICC shall immediately write to the Players Home Board conrming that the Player has been reported for a suspected Illegal Bowling Action and enclosing the Match Ofcials Report and two copies of the tape referred to above. The Board shall retain one copy for its own purposes and the other shall be forwarded to the Player. The third copy shall be retained by the ICC for the independent analysis and any BRG hearing referred to in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 below. If no television footage is available, upon receipt of the Match Ofcials Report from the Match Referee, the ICC shall immediately write to the Players Home Board conrming that the Player had been reported for a suspected Illegal Bowling Action and enclosing the relevant Match Ofcials Report. If a Player is reported in accordance with paragraph 2.1.1 above, he shall be required to submit to an independent analysis of his bowling action (Independent Analysis) carried out as follows:

17

2.2.3 The members of this panel shall have the credentials, equipment and facilities to conduct analysis of the bowling actions of Players in accordance with the ICC Standard Analysis Protocols (Annexure 1 hereto). 2.2.4 The Independent Analysis shall be carried out by a member of the ICC panel of human movement specialists referred to in paragraph 2.2.2 above (the Appointed Specialist), appointed by the ICC in consultation with the Players Home Board. The Appointed Specialist shall not be domiciled in the country which the Player represents in International Cricket. 2.2.5 The Independent Analysis shall be carried out as soon as reasonably possible but, in any event, within 21 days of receipt by the Players Home Board of the notice referred to in paragraph 2.1.5 above. See paragraph 2.2.15 below for Players reported during ICC events.

2.2.6 The Independent Analysis shall be carried out in accordance with the ICC Standard Analysis Protocols and shall take into account the Match Ofcials Report. If the Player expresses any concern or complaint regarding the circumstances or conduct of the Independent Analysis, he should make these known to the Appointed Specialist before the conclusion of the Independent Analysis. The Appointed Specialist should make a written note of the relevant concern or complaint which should be agreed with the Player. 2.2.7 The ICC shall be responsible for determining the time and place at which the Independent Analysis shall be carried out and shall ensure that the Player, through the Players Home Board, is given reasonable notice thereof. All travel and accommodation arrangements shall be made by the ICC in consultation with the Players Home Board.

2.2.8 In the event of the Player failing to submit to the Independent Analysis as required above, such failure will be regarded as an admission that he bowls with an Illegal Bowling Action and he shall be immediately suspended from bowling in International Cricket until such time as he so submits and satisfactorily participates in an Independent Analysis. 2.2.9 Within 14 days of the date for the carrying out of the Independent Analysis, the Appointed Specialist shall furnish the ICC with a written report (hereinafter referred to as the Independent Assessment) in the form as set out in the ICC Standard Analysis Protocols. Where the Independent Assessment concludes that the Player employed an Illegal Bowling Action during the Independent Analysis, it should indicate whether the Player employed an Illegal Bowling Action generally or in respect of specic type(s) of delivery only and whether, in the Appointed Specialists opinion, such conclusion is not inconsistent with the relevant video evidence. Where the Independent Assessment concludes that the Player did not employ an Illegal Bowling Action during the Independent Analysis, it should, where relevant, indicate whether, in the opinion of the Appointed Specialist, the Players bowling action during the Independent Analysis was materially different to his action in the Match in respect of which he was cited (whether generally or in respect of the specic type(s) of delivery (if any) identied in the Match Ofcials Report). The Independent Assessment should also include any notes of concerns or complaints of the Player made under paragraph 2.2.6 above. See paragraph 2.2.15 below for Players reported during ICC events.

351

17

ICC REGULATIONS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOWLERS REPORTED WITH SUSPECTED ILLEGAL BOWLING ACTIONS
2.2.10 Immediately upon receipt of the Independent Assessment by the ICC, the ICC shall furnish the Players Home Board with a copy thereof. 2.2.11 Subject to paragraph 2.2.12 below, in the event that the Independent Assessment concludes either that (i) the Player employed an Illegal Bowling Action during the Independent Analysis and that such conclusion is not inconsistent with the relevant video footage or that (ii) the Players bowling action during the Independent Analysis was materially different to his action in the Match in respect of which he was reported, the Player shall immediately be suspended from bowling in International Cricket until such time as he has submitted to a fresh Independent Analysis in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraph 2.4 below, and in which fresh Independent Analysis it is concluded that he has remedied his action. The suspension shall become operative from the date of receipt by the Players Home Board of a copy of the Independent Assessment in accordance with paragraph 2.2.10 above. Note: The ICC Standard Analysis Protocols contains reference to a level of acceptable elbow extension. Should the Independent Assessment conclude that the Players bowling action exhibits a degree of elbow extension of the bowling arm higher than the said acceptable level, the action of the Player shall be deemed to be an Illegal Bowling Action. It should be noted that in order for the Players bowling action to be classied as a legal action, the degree of elbow extension recorded for each and every delivery must be within the level of acceptable elbow extension. 2.2.12 In circumstances where the Independent Assessment concludes that the Player employed an Illegal Bowling Action during the Independent Analysis in respect of a specic type of delivery only, the Player will be allowed to continue bowling in International Cricket but subject to the warning (Warning) that should he continue to bowl any of the specic type(s) of delivery for which he has been found to have an Illegal Bowling Action, he will run the risk of being cited a second time. In these circumstances a further report resulting in an Independent Analysis concluding that the Player has employed an Illegal Bowling Action will result in the immediate suspension of the Player from bowling in International Cricket and such suspension shall be considered a second suspension under the provisions of paragraph 2.5 below. Note: This is intended to cover the circumstances where a Player employs a different technique to deliver a specic type of delivery e.g. propelling the ball out of the back of the hand to produce a googly or doosra. It is not intended to cover the situation where the same basic technique is used to produce a different type of delivery e.g. more effort to produce a bouncer or a yorker. 2.2.13 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2.2.8 above, throughout the period up to the date of receipt by the Players Home Board of the Independent Assessment, the Player shall be permitted to continue bowling in International Cricket. At any time throughout this period the Player is subject to being called on the eld by the Umpire(s) in accordance with Law 24.2 and the consequences of such Law must apply. During this period a further Match Ofcials Report will however have no consequence.

In this respect, every reasonable effort shall be made for the Independent Analysis to be carried out and the Independent Assessment furnished within a period of 7 days from the date of receipt of the Match Ofcials Report. 2.3 Bowling Review Group Hearing 2.3.1.

ICC Standard Analysis Protocols Biomechanical Analysis of a Bowling Action

INTRODUCTION
The ICC has introduced a revised process for the review of Players with suspected Illegal Bowling Actions (Bowling Review Process). In order for the Bowling Review Process to be conducted in a fair and consistent manner, the following standard protocols for the collection of data and the assessment and analysis of bowling actions have been introduced. The overall purpose of the report is to conrm the legality / or not, of the bowling action used by the relevant Players in Matches. Thus, the protocols are provided not only for how the bowling action should be analysed in the laboratory setting, but also highlight the need for a detailed comparison between the bowling action performed during the Match in which a Player was cited and the bowling action analysed in the laboratory. The ICC has determined that it is the degree of elbow extension, as opposed to hyperextension or abduction / adduction that is prohibited. Elbow hyperextension and elbow abduction / adduction are involuntary movements that cannot be controlled by the individual during the bowling action. (See Paragraph 5.3 & Appendix A) The conclusion of the report should be that having analysed the bowling action in the laboratory and having compared it to the bowling action as used in the supplied Match footage, in the opinion of the expert, the Player has faithfully reproduced his Match technique in the laboratory. A statement concerning the legality of the bowling action with respect of the amount of elbow extension measured and the 15 degree elbow extension tolerance threshold should then follow.

VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM MATCH IN WHICH PLAYER CITED

The television video footage of the entire bowling spell(s) of the Player in the Match where the report was made shall be presented on a master tape. (ICC to supply Match footage. If possible, rear, frontal and lateral views of the action shall be provided.) The master tape shall be converted to 50Hz / 60Hz (standard television footage is recorded at 25Hz) to enable more accurate evaluation of the Players bowling action on the day the Player was actually cited. Descriptive analysis during the Match footage should compare the actions of the Players e.g. positioning of feet, angle of run up, position of the torso, velocity of arm, velocity of delivery (95% of Match speed etc). These comparisons should be clearly presented in the report.

ANTHROPOMETRIC ASSESSMENT
(Both the bowling & non-bowling arms) See Appendix A Carry Angle: The angle between the longitudinal axis of the upper arm and forearm, in the frontal plane. Note: The average range of carry angle for the human population is between 5-15. Hyperextension Angle: The angle between the longitudinal axis of the upper arm and forearm, in the sagittal plane. (i.e. beyond full normal extension): Two measurements are required: a passive measurement, were there is no force applied and a second measurement where reasonable force is applied.

361

17

ICC REGULATIONS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOWLERS REPORTED WITH SUSPECTED ILLEGAL BOWLING ACTIONS

When the second measurement for the hyperextension angle is measured, the Player is required to extend his arm back as far as possible. This is achieved by applying a reasonable force, essentially the body weight of the bowler, leaning on each arm. Additional Physical Measurements: Height, weight and assessment of general mobility of the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. History of Previous Injuries: A brief history of previous injuries should be determined as an aid in the biomechanical assessment - particular focus should be brought to the elbow and shoulder joints.

BOWLING ANALYSIS (INDOORS LABORATORY CONDITIONS)

All biomechanical assessment shall be carried out with the Player bowling off his normal full run-up, on a correct length cricket pitch. A minimum of three synchronised cameras (using optio reective markers) operating at a minimum of 200 frames per second and a maximum of 250 frames per second (preferable) should be used to collect the data. The cameras and computer to be operated and positioned in appropriate positions to facilitate a subsequent three-dimensional analysis of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and ball. Video data (50fps) should also be collected in order to allow synchronisation with the optio reective computer animation data. A minimum shutter speed of 1000Hz is required to prevent blurred images. Calibration and accuracy procedures must be undertaken in the delivery space prior to data collection. Accuracy analysis should indicate that the 3D methods employed are accurate to within 1 (Note: A rigid bar (1m in length), with markers representing the shoulder, elbow and wrist (180) can be used in the calibration procedures. The rod must be rotated in the same manner as a bowling arm. This should be repeated using a rigid bar representing a 160 angle. Accuracy analysis should again indicate that the 3D methods employed are accurate to within 1 ). Optimal levels of lter must be used in the laboratory process. Ideally a laboratory environment using opto-reective marker system will produce the environment with the least amount of error (Noise) and therefore less ltering can be used. This value or cut off frequency is calculated via the residual analysis method presented by Winter (1990) (See Appendix B) Warm up (players own) but must include the bowling of a number of deliveries at Match pace prior to data collection. The Player to have no clothing on the torso, in order to enable the correct marker set to be placed on the bowling arm. (See Appendix C) Automatic digitisation of the marker set will enable joint centres to be determined during each delivery. In respect of a fast bowler, six normal good length deliveries, six yorkers and six bouncers must be recorded. Six deliveries of each spin variation for the leg or off spin bowler must be recorded. Standard video cameras should be used to assess the position the ball lands, along with the amount of bounce and turn created with each delivery. This video should also be presented in the report. Three-dimensional analysis of the bowling arm to begin from back foot contact, to include arm horizontal maximum exion, ball release and a minimum of 10 frames after ball release for each successful delivery. The UPPER Arm is in the horizontal position in Figure 1b. The horizontal position i.e. The upper arm being level with shoulder and parallel to the ground.

The point of release is dened as the FIRST frame the BALL and HAND are NOT in contact. This is important as the exact time (frame 250Hz) of release can potentially change results by three or four degrees. A marker (a piece of reective tape) on the ball, a change in velocity of the ball, along with 50Hz video may all help with this process.

Figure 1a: Arm Horizontal NO

Figure 1b: Arm Horizontal YES

Every effort must be made to ensure that the Player is bowling as close to Match pace as possible. This can be measured after each delivery if the equipment is available (Radar Gun), or measured via the 3D data during analysis. If deliveries are not at a suitable speed (so as to represent Match conditions) then the data shall be invalid

PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
A summary of the results of each delivery to be presented in graphical or table format. The presentation of the three-dimensional analysis of the bowling arm to begin from a minimum of 10 frames before the arm reaches horizontal, to include arm horizontal, maximum exion, ball release and a minimum of 10 frames after ball release. The exion-extension and the abduction-adduction curves should be presented separately. This data should be presented in graphical form. (The hyperextension component will show up in the ex-ext curve if it is present and there is no need to separate it. If it is present it will be shown as the curve going beyond 180 degrees or below 0 degrees, depending on which represents straight arm) The six trials for each type of delivery (e.g. Bouncer / Normal Length / Yorker), along with the average should be plotted on the same graph (i.e 3 graphs, one each for the bouncer, normal length and yorker deliveries) to show conformity. The average of the different types of delivery (e.g. Bouncer / Normal Length / Yorker) to be displayed along with the standard error reading. Ball release speeds to be presented for each delivery. Stick gure representation, to include pictures of the various key positions to aid in the presentation of the results. (Alternatively, an avi le may be provided.)

ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF ELBOW EXTENSION

This should be set at a maximum of 15 degrees Elbow extension for all bowlers and types of deliveries. This specically refers to extension of the forearm relative to the upper arm to the straight position. Elbow hyperextension or adduction is not included in the 15-degree tolerance threshold. It should be noted that in order for the action to be classied as a legal action, the degree of elbow extension recorded for each delivery should be within the 15 degree limit.

ICC REGULATIONS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOWLERS REPORTED WITH SUSPECTED ILLEGAL BOWLING ACTIONS

APPENDIX A - MOVEMENTS

Flexion - This movement takes place about a transverse axis and is a description of the movement that occurs when you move your arm forward. It is described as the approximation (moving closer together) of two ventral surfaces of the body e.g. exing the elbow joint. There are a number of situations where this rule doesnt seem to apply e.g. at the ankle where the terms dorsi and plantar exion are used to avoid confusion. Extension - This movement is the opposite of exion; it also takes place about a transverse axis and occurs when you approximate two dorsal surfaces e.g. straightening the elbow. Hyperextension - An abnormal movement beyond the normal limit of extension, such as more than the 180 degrees of extension of the knee or elbow joints. Abduction and Adduction - These movements take place about an antero-posterior axis and occur when the arm is taken sideways away from the body (abduction) and returned from such a position to the side of the body (adduction).

APPENDIX B - FILTER LEVEL

When measurements are made using image-based analysis systems (Video and/ or Automatic Tracking) they are contaminated with Noise generated during the recording and digitising procedures. The sample signal can be considered to be the sum of the true signal, systematic noise and the random noise. The TRUE signal can never be deduced from the measurements; only the best estimate of the signal. There have been a number of techniques developed for the reduction of noise, including Butterworth lters, Quintic splines and cross-validated splines. Each of these techniques uses a mathematical function to approximate the data. The precise frequency components of the true signal are rarely known in sports biomechanics and some procedures must be adopted for the determination of the cut-off lter, or other smoothing parameter. The less noise in the system, the closer the raw data will represent the TRUE signal, and the less smoothing will be required. Ideally a laboratory environment using opto-reective marker system will produce the environment with the least amount of error (Noise) and therefore a lower ltering value can be used. Optimal levels of lter must be used in the laboratory process. This value or cut off frequency is to be calculated for all bowling analysis using the residual analysis method presented by Winter (Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement, 2nd edition, Wiley and Sons Publisher, 1990). Previous work in this area has identied a Butterworth digital lter level of 12 14 Hz and a Woltring MSE of 20 25 cine appropriate. However a residual analysis, should be conducted for the bowler being analysed to derive the optimum lter level for the current data. Any signicant different optimum lter level derived from the above values needs to be well justied and documented. Raw data should be graphed with ltered data and inspected by the expert to ensure the ltered curve closely reects the raw data. These should be presented in the appendix to the report as background technical information for each analysis

The following guidelines are established to ensure conformity of elbow joint data across laboratories. Establishment of joint centres at the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints are therefore integral to this process.

Shoulder Joint

This joint centre should be determined from the recording of markers anterior, posterior and superior (acromion process) to the joint centre of rotation. The anterior and posterior markers should be placed such that a line between the two represents the shoulder axis of rotation (approximate midline of the upper arm). The shoulder joint centre (SJC) is then calculated as the centre of these three markers or from where a vertical line dropped from the acromion intersects the line between the anterior and posterior markers. The position of the calculated SJC is then recorded in a static trial relative to the coordinate system of the triad located on the upper arm. During a bowling trial the SJC can then be reconstructed relative to the position of the upper arm triad during every frame. Optimisation or helical axis techniques may be used to calculate the shoulder centre, which may modify the markers used about this joint.

The elbow joint centre may be calculated using markers placed on the lateral and medial elbow epicondyles or using epicondyle pointer trials with the elbow exed to 900. If a marker based approach is used the markers should be as small as the resolution of the opto-electronic camera system will allow. Generally markers no bigger than 15mm in diameter are preferable. The position of the epicondyles should be reported with reference to a triad of markers placed on the upper arm. The elbow joint centre is then calculated as the mid point between these two re constructed epicondyle virtual markers. This means that no joint markers are required during bowling trials to reduce errors associated with skin movement. The cameras only need to track the upper arm triad during the bowling action to know where the elbow and shoulder joint centres are. For a background reading in this area refer to Lloyd et al., (Journal of Sports Sciences, 2000, v12). Helical axis determination may also be applied at the elbow joint.

Elbow Joint

Wrist Joint

The wrist joint centre may be calculated using pointer trials or by placing markers on the styloid processes at the wrist during a static trial. If a marker based approach is used the markers should be as small as the resolution of the opto-electronic camera system will allow. Generally markers no bigger than 15mm in diameter are preferable. The position of the styloid processes should be calculated as reference points (i.e. three-dimensional co-ordinates) to a triad of markers placed on the forearm. This triad needs to be placed relatively close to the wrist joint centre to avoid excessive skin movement during pronation / supination. The markers on the styloid processes can then be removed prior to bowling data collection. The wrist joint centre is then calculated as the mid point between the styloid process markers or landmarks from the pointer trials.

sought for a Manufacturers Logo) must apply to ICC for the grant of such approval as set out in clause 2 below and such approval must have been granted in advance of the commencement of the match or series in question. Once a Logo has been ICC Approved for any relevant match or series of matches, such approval shall remain effective for all other applicable matches and series thereafter until either: a) such time as these Regulations may be amended or replaced in any way affecting the continuing compliance of such Logo in which case the Logo shall cease to be approved immediately unless the Logo is being used in a match or series at the time of ICC giving notice of the amendment or replacement of the Regulations or is due to be used in such a match or series within [30 days] after such notice in which case such approval will cease to apply to the Logo concerned at the end of the match or series in question; or b) until ICC gives notice that the Logo is no longer ICC Approved due to it ceasing to be in compliance with these Regulations from time to time (e.g. that since the original grant of ICC Approval, the Logo has become a Betting Logo) in which case the Logo will cease to be ICC approved immediately upon ICC giving notice to that effect. 2 Any application to ICC for a Logo to be ICC Approved shall be sent to ICC at Street 69, Dubai Sports City (off Emirates Road), PO Box 500070, Dubai, marked Cricket Operations Department.

In respect of any Logo which is required by these regulations to be within certain size parameters, the applicant must state the size which it considers such Logo to be and provide evidence of how this has been calculated. ICC retains the nal say in determining whether any Logo is within the permitted parameters. ICC will review any application for a Logo to be ICC Approved which has been received in accordance with clause 2 above and within 3 days of receipt of such application (counting from the rst business day on which, or following which, the application was received and discounting any intervening days which are not regular business days e.g. weekends and public holidays) shall respond to the applicant, acknowledging receipt of the application and, if applicable, conrming that ICC has been provided with the required information and materials or, alternatively, stating that ICC considers that it has not been provided with all requisite details/materials as set out in clause 2 above and requesting that the applicant provides the same.
