The ICC has made a significant change to the Decision Review System (DRS) rule in cricket, stating that the wicket-keeper’s catch will no longer be checked by the umpire for stumping. Instead, the bowling team will have the opportunity to review the decision.
This decision comes after complaints were raised about the strategy used during last year’s series against India, where Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey waited for the team’s DRS chances to be stumped unnecessarily after questionable catches. The field umpire would also check the catch, leaving the decision to the third umpire, which led to Australia not losing the opportunity to review despite not being out.
In response to the complaints, the ICC has decided to change the rule to address the issue and ensure fairness and accuracy in the game. This change aims to streamline the process and avoid unnecessary delays and confusion during matches.
This revision in the DRS rule is expected to have a positive impact on the game, ensuring that decisions regarding stumping and catches are made more efficiently and accurately. The new rule will be in effect for all future cricket matches under the ICC’s jurisdiction.
