LAW 18 CHANGES
The Lost ball Law has been deleted from the Laws. Therefore, the references to runs scored from Lost ball have been deleted
When the umpires consider a ball to be lost, runs scored are those runs completed plus the run in progress if the batters had crossed at the time when Dead ball is called, as outlined in Law 18.9
For deliberate short runs (Law 18.5), the first and final warning when deliberate short runs have occurred has been removed, since this is considered as cheating and should therefore carry an immediate penalty without a warning
A new section (18.10 Crediting of runs scored) clarifies in a more appropriate place how runs are scored. Note that the scoring of Byes and Leg byes from deliveries which are No balls is discussed later
Laws 18.11 and 18.12 have been tidied up, concerning to which ends the batters should go in specific circumstances
