The New 50-50 One Day rules, Going To Change By Today Onwards..

Today is the 1st of October. From today onwards the ICC is going to introduce some new regulations for one day format of cricket. Those rules are validated for the series Sri Lanka-England. Those are the new rules,

• There’ll be a free hit after if it’s a front-foot No-Ball.

• After the 1st power play, that means during second and third power plays, an additional fielder will be permitted outside the fielding , inner circle.

• If there is a problem, like rain , number of overs have to be reduced. If so number of overs for each power play will be reduced accordingly.

• Minimum distance for boundaries was 140 yards . It’ll change to 150 yards.
The minimum on one side is of 65 yards , straight boundaries 70 yards, previously was 60 yards.

• If one side refused to play the mach for any reason, The match referee has the right to choose the winning team.

• If a new batman not ready to play after 2 minutes with a wicket, umpires can impose Time-Wasting penalties for him.

• A new ball can be used in 35th over onwards, but the decider is the leader of the team, who lost the toss.

( I appreciate your replay if there is any other regulations, I’ve forgotten to mention)
