New rules in BBL 2023-24..
However, most of the key players in the Australian cricket team are playing the ongoing Test series against Pakistan. Hence they are unable to play BBL. Despite the lack of key players.. Australia this T20 league is attracting a lot of interest. Like IPL, this Australian league also added some new rules. Due to this this cricket game has become more exciting than before. Now let’s know about some new rules of BBL..
The rule of hitting on the roof of Marvel Stadium..
There is a cricket stadium in Australia. Its roof is built on half the ground. Due to this, many times a high pitched ball hits the ceiling and does not cross the boundary line. The name of this stadium is Marvel Stadium. In the last season of BBL, two batsmen got sixes for hitting the ball on the roof of this stadium. After that there were some protests and controversies.
Cricket Australia settled the dispute in the 13th season of the BBL. According to Cricket Australia’s new rule, if a batsman hits the ball on the roof of Marvel Stadium and the umpire thinks the shot went for a six, the umpires will give him a six. If the umpire feels that the ball did not go for a sixer, the ball is awarded a dead ball.
The third umpire only checks the stump out.
Apart from this, BBL has changed another rule this season. If the batsman of the fielding team appeals for stump-out, the third umpire checks the stump-out option only. Apart from that, no other outbound opportunities are checked through that referral. If the same ball has to be appealed or reviewed on an out other than through the stumps, then the captain of the fielding team has to use his DRS.
So far after appealing for a stump out, the side umpires refer to the third umpire. Apart from stump out, the third umpire also checks other possible outs like lbw. With this, the fielding team is likely to save DRS. However, Cricket Australia has now given new tension to the fielding captains by changing this rule.
The third umpire checks for no ball every ball.
Another new rule has been added in the 13th season of the BBL, which is already in use in men’s international cricket. Now in every match the third umpire keeps an eye on the feet of the bowlers on every ball. If a bowler bowls a no ball, he immediately reports it to the field umpire. The field umpire then declares the ball as a no ball. That next ball will be a free hit.
