After a long time, ICC release a new set of rules ahead of the upcoming test season and the maiden Test Championship on Monday.
According to the tweets trending on Twitter using the hashtag ‘#CricketNotAsYouKnowIt’. These changes are planned to implement especially for the World Test Championship, which is all set to start in the month of July.
These changes approached toward cricket will make a distinctive portrayal of this game, and will appeal to the younger generations more.
