As India's domestic cricket season kicks off with the Ranji Trophy on Friday (October 11), the BCCI has introduced major changes to the playing conditions. Most notably, any batter retiring for reasons other than injury or illness will now be automatically considered "out" and cannot return to bat in that innings. This new rule applies to all BCCI domestic matches, including multi-day and limited-over formats.
According to the BCCI’s communique to the state teams, "A] 25.4.3 Batter retiring for any reason other than injury, illness, or unavoidable cause: He will be considered as dismissed immediately on retirement and will NOT have the option of returning to bat even with the consent of the opposing captain." This stipulation stands firm even for Super Over situations in limited-overs games, providing no room for flexibility in such cases.
Additionally, strict measures have been put in place for using saliva on the ball. Any violation will lead to an immediate ball change and penalties. A tweak in the rule about aborted runs now clarifies that if an overthrow results in a boundary after batters abort a run, only the boundary will count, not the incomplete run. This aligns with the recent agreements during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Changes in the CK Nayudu competition include the allocation of batting points. A couple of scenarios explain how penalty runs awarded while fielding can alter a team's points. In certain cases, if penalty runs push a team’s score over a threshold, additional points will be awarded. However, if the overs exceed the cut-off limit, no extra batting point will be granted even if the score surpasses the required target.
