This is the definitive guide to Cricket Laws and their application - essential for all cricket umpires, cricket scorers - also useful for all captains and cricket players. It does include all the changes up to and including 1st October 2022
In 2019, there was a significant relaxation for accidental non-dangerous beamers)
MAJOR CHANGES in October 2022
Law 18.11 when a batter is out Caught, the new batter shall come in at the end the striker was at, i.e. to face the next ball (unless it is the end of an over).
Law 20.4.2.12 changes included calling of Dead ball if either side is disadvantaged by a person, animal or other object within the field of play.
Law 21.4 – If a bowler throws the ball in an attempt to run out the striker before entering their delivery stride, it will now be Dead ball rather than No ball.
Law 22.1 – has been amended so that a Wide will apply to where the striker is standing and where the striker has stood at any point since the bowler began their run up, and which would also have passed wide of the striker in a normal batting position.
Law 25.8 – If the ball should land away from the pitch, the striker may play the ball so long as some part of their bat or person remains within the pitch. Should they venture beyond that, the umpire will call and signal Dead ball. As recompense to the batter, any ball which would force them to leave the pitch will also be called No ball.
Laws 27.4 and 28.6 – If any member of the fielding side moves unfairly, the batting side will be awarded 5 Penalty runs.
Laws 41.3 - No Saliva!
