ICC introduces changes in T20I playing conditions: In-match penalty for slow over rates included

The ICC on Friday announced that slow overrate in T20 Internationals will result in fewer fielder outside of the 30-yard circle for the remaining overs of the innings, starting this month.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced an in-match penalty for slow over-rates, among other changes to the playing conditions for Twenty20 Internationals. The governing body also introduced an optional drinks interval midway through the innings in bilateral T20 international cricket as part of its updated playing conditions.

The in-match penalties are in addition to the sanctions for slow over-rates outlined in Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.
