Dead ball (Law 20)
Index


LAW 20 CHANGES

Law 20.1 has been adjusted to take account of the removal of Lost ball; instead, either umpire will call and signal Dead ball when satisfied that the ball in play cannot be recovered. Furthermore, the ball will no longer become dead if it becomes trapped in the helmet worn by a fielder

In 20.4.2.2, the word ‘possibly’ has been added for when a serious injury occurs, as the umpires might not know at the time how serious the injury actually is. If they think the injury is possibly serious, they should call and signal Dead ball
