Rules of play laid down for first-ever T10 Cricket League

Sharjah - The replacement player can be selected from the list of unpicked players at the draft

Rules of play for the first ever T10 Cricket League scheduled to start on Dec. 14 at the Sharjah Stadium have been finalised during the Team Owners' (and Directors) meeting held recently at Capital Club, DIFC, Dubai.
Under these rules player replacement is permitted only for a player who is unavailable for the entire league due to unavoidable reasons. The replacement player can be selected from the list of unpicked players at the draft, either from the same category or from the lower category as per the original player list.
The team owners also confirmed that all matches shall be played with white Kookaburra Turf Balls following some concerns expressed over the use of a pink ball under the light and keeping in mind the bright colours of the uniforms of the six teams taking part.
The Owners also reiterated the basic rules for the games. The duration will be a maximum of 10 overs per side with each bowler allowed to bowl no more than two overs in an innings. For a result, in case of interruption, a minimum of 5 overs shall be bowled for each innings. In case of rain, the outcome of the match shall be derived using the DLS method. MCC Laws of Cricket 2017 shall be adopted with relevant playing conditions applicable for the T10 League and details will be forthcoming. In case of a tie, the result of the match shall be decided by a Super Over.
There will be two points for a win and 1 point to each side in case of a draw with zero points for a loss.
The Owners and Directors also decided that they will soon be circulating the ICC Anti Corruption and ICC Anti Doping Codes. In addition, they intend to have education sessions on Playing Conditions.
