Extra time reserved for rain-hit games in IPL

The Indian Premier League Technical Committee has changed some important playing conditions with immediate effect. The changes relate to substitutes, decisions on clean catches and time reserved for rain-hit games. But the most important and interesting one relates to the legality of the delivery when the ball hits the new-age sky camera which has been a feature of IPL 2.

Substitute fielders will be permitted only in the event of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. The panel wants to ensure that substitutions should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a ‘comfort breaks’. It is clear that the IPL Technical Committee wants to be firm in such cases.
