You must have heard about the ban on hitting sixes in street cricket, but now the English club has also decided to ban hitting sixes. Southwick and Shoreham Cricket Club has banned batsmen from hitting sixes. This ban has been imposed due to complaints filed after damage to the property of people living around the ground. Now the batsman who hits a six in the match will be declared out.
Southwick and Shoreham Cricket Club treasurer Mark Broxup has given information about the rule of banning sixes. This decision has been taken to avoid financial losses due to insurance claims and legal action. Due to sixes, vehicles and household property of people living around the stadium were damaged. A complaint was lodged in this regard and the club took this decision to avoid losses.
Broxup said that earlier cricket was played in a very calm environment but after the advent of T20 and ODI, the game has become more exciting. This has caused damage to the property of people living near the stadium. An 80-year-old man said that nowadays batsmen have become more excited about hitting big shots, due to which the stadium has become smaller.
Let us tell you that after the new rule of the cricket club, now the batsmen will get a warning on hitting the first six. No run will be given to the batsman on hitting a six. Even after getting a warning, if the batsman hits a six, he will be declared out. The batsmen are unhappy with the implementation of this rule of the club.
