Here we come with new imp news on the informative blog "knowing steps360". In the ICC Board and Cricket Committee meeting, the umpires' call was discussed and it has been decided to keep it, while the DRS Rule Change and the third umpire's 3 rules have been changed.

During the India and England series, a lot of questions were raised on the umpires' call and the demand of DRS to reconsider this rule was raised. The ICC Cricket Board and Cricket Committee discussed this issue and finally decided to retain it. ICC Cricket Committee Chairman Anil Kumble informed that the umpires' call will remain intact.

Anil Kumble said after the meeting, 'There was a good discussion in the cricket committee on the umpires' call. In this, the result was that DRS means correcting big mistakes, and taking the decision of the umpire on the field is paramount. Therefore, it is important to maintain the umpire call.

3 changes in DRS and third umpire's rules

The ICC Cricket Committee and Board have made three major changes in the rules of DRS and the third umpire. The major change in DRS has been that now the height of the wicket zone has been increased to the top of the stump. After this decision, the apar call will remain the same in both the height and width of the wicket.

The second change is that before reviewing the decision of LBW, the player will be able to talk to the umpire and ask if the batsman had tried to play the ball properly.

At the same time, the ICC has given another new force to the third umpire. The third umpire will now examine the short-run decision in the replay. Let us tell that during the IPL 2020, one run of the Punjab Kings was given a short after which the match went into a super over and it was defeated by the Delhi Capitals. The loss caused Punjab a lot of loss going forward and she missed out on qualifying in the playoffs.
