The ICC has
taken a firm step to tamper with the ball on the field. The player found guilty
of ball-tempering can now be banned from six Tests or 12 one-day
internationals. The ICC has made it a crime of Level Three and added indecent
and personal misbehavior in this list to ensure better conduct on the field.
At an annual
meeting held in Dublin, the ICC also introduced its plan to curb unfair
treatment on the field. During the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town
in March this year, Australian cricketers Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron
Bancroft were found guilty of changing the ball position, after which the ball
tampering was made to level two to three in the ball tampering.
Even after
this, the reduction of this kind of cricket on the cricket field was constantly
coming out. Recently, Sri Lankan captain Dinesh Chandimal was also found guilty
in the ball-tampering case. ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar said, "My
colleague and board director were unanimous about supporting the
recommendations of the Committee of Cricket Committee and Chief Executives for
the better behavior of the game."
According to
the statement of the ICC, if the player or assistant staffer wants to appeal
against the decision, the appeal fee will be deposited in advance and the return
will be returned if the appeal is successful. The instructions attached to the
stump microphone have also been modified so that any time the stump microphone
will be allowed to air the audio, even after the ball is dead.
Even the
concerned board can now be made accountable for the behavior of its players.
The ICC management will now work closely with Zimbabwe Cricket to prepare plans
for the management of its cricket, management and financial structure, which
will be reviewed regularly.
The ICC also
agreed to approve the representative of the Sports Minister of Sri Lanka to sit
in the board and supervisor in the full council. Although the ICC has asked Sri
Lanka Cricket to conduct elections within six months and in the absence of
this, the membership of the SLC will be considered.
