LAW 26 CHANGES
This Law has been rationalised to make it less prescriptive and giving the umpires more control as to what should be allowed
There must still never be any practice on the pitch itself. There shall not be any practice on the rest of the square, except with the approval of the umpires
The requirement remains that any practice must not cause damage to the ball or to the pitch and must not waste time
It was felt that the penalty for breaches of this Law should be the same for the batting and fielding sides, so there is a 5 run penalty for both batting and fielding contraventions
