ODIs get a makeover
International Cricket Council's revised playing conditions for international cricket was effective from October 1, but the new rules have come into effect from the Bangladesh-West Indies series. Since most of the rules are about ODIs, we outline the rules briefly.
-No runners
-New balls from both ends in ODIs
-Batting and bowling Powerplays to be taken between overs 16 and 40
-Captains to be suspended after only two over-rate breaches in a year, as opposed to the existing three
-Batsmen can be dismissed obstructing the field if they change their course while running to prevent a run-out chance
- Bowlers will be allowed to run out a non-striker backing up unfairly
