ICC is ready to change the rules for bowlers Experienced South African cricketer and former captain Shaun Pollock has said that the ICC Cricket Committee is working on giving some more leeway to the bowlers regarding wide balls. Because the current rules are very strict for them. In ODIs and T20Is, the batsman makes last-minute movements to the crease to disrupt the bowler’s line and length. As a result, the ball often goes wide. Pollock said, ‘I am a member of the ICC Cricket Committee and we are considering giving bowlers a little more leeway on wide balls. I think the rules are very strict for bowlers.
I want a little change in the rules
He further said, ‘If a batsman acts in the last minute then it is really not an ideal situation for the bowlers. I believe that it is important for a bowler to know where he can bowl at the very beginning of the run-up. According to the current rules, if the batsman changes his position before the ball is released by the bowler then the ball is declared wide. I want some changes in this rule. Bowlers should know where to bowl during the run-up.
A bowler must know where to bowl
Regarding bowling, he said, ‘I want the bowler to know during the run-up when, why and what kind of ball he has to bowl. How can a bowler be expected to change his strategy at the last moment while bowling? He should already know clearly where he has to bowl.
our test cricket will be strong
Apart from this, Pollock said about the South African team, ‘South Africa should take advantage of the conditions in the subcontinent during the upcoming Champions Trophy. He said, ‘Most of our team consists of the same players who played in the ODI World Cup 2023. Where we reached the semi-finals and lost to Australia. There are many players in our team who have played in the IPL and are well aware of the conditions in the subcontinent. This can help South Africa. Our team has reached the finals of the World Test Championship. This will strengthen our Test cricket.
