    However in very exceptional circumstances, the Umpires may use their discretion to allow a Substitute for a player who has to leave the field or does not take the field for wholly acceptable reasons, subject to consent being given by the opposing Captain. If a player wishes to change his shirt, boots etc., he may leave the field to do so (no changing on the field) but no substitute will be allowed.

    Providing substitute Runner for batsman is discouraged and should be given only in exceptional circumstances.

    Fieldsman Leaving the Field:

    No fieldsmen shall leave the field or return during a session of play without the consent of the umpire at the bowler's end. The Umpire's consent is also necessary if a substitute is required for a fieldsman at the start of play or when his side returns to the field after an interval.

    If a member of the fielding side does not take the field at the start of play leaves the field or fails to return after an interval and is absent from the field more than 8 minutes.

    A Player who suffers an injury caused by an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as pulled muscle) and has to leave the field for medical attention may subject to the umpires approval, bowl immediately after his return irrespective of the length of time for which he has been absent.

    1. the player shall not be permitted to bowl in that innings after his return until he has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which he was absent.
    2. The player shall not be permitted to bat unless or until in the aggregate , he has returned to the field and/or his side's innings has been in progress for at least that length of playing time for which he has been absent or, if earlier, when his side has lost five wickets.

    Note: In the event of a fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the Umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress.

  39. Mode of Delivery:
  40. Bowler is not allowed to bowl under arm. If a bowler bowls a ball under arm the umpire shall call and signal "Dead Ball". The umpire at strikers end shall call signal "No Ball", If a ball which the Umpire considers to have been delivered ;

    1. Bounces more than twice or
    2. Balls along the ground or
    3. comes to rest

    before it reaches the striker or if not otherwise played by the striker before it reaches the popping crease.

    If the ball comes to rest in such circumstances, the striker has a right without interference from the fielding side, to make attempt to hit the ball.

    If the fielding side interferes, the Umpires shall replace the ball where it came to rest and shall order the fieldsman to resume the place they occupied in the field before the ball was delivered.

    The umpire shall call and signal "Dead Ball" as soon as it is clear that the striker has made an unsuccessful attempt to hit the ball. As a result of the above, Wide ball coming to rest in front of the striker is deleted.

    It is accepted that this wording is very lengthy, but is felt that it covers adequately the occasional problem of a bowler delivering a ball along the ground in order to prevent the possibility of a six being hit, without having to disallow any bowler from delivering the ball underarm. if this regulation accepted the question of whether or not a batsman can be caught after hitting the ball which has come to rest does not apply, since it would be a No Ball.

    Note:

    If a genuine delivery bowled by a bowler is a shooter and skids along the ground and either hits the wickets or the batsman stands in the way of the stumps and gets the ball hit on the pads then such a genuine delivery from the bowler, the bats man will be out or gets bowled or given leg before wicket and the umpire at the bowlers end shall not call and signal No Ball.

    Also the batsman can be caught after hitting the ball as the umpire at the bowlers and shall not call and signal no ball.

  41. Helmets:
    1. Law 32.2 (e) shall apply, but add:-
    2. The striker is out under this law if the ball is deflected from his bat onto his own protective helmet and he is sub sequentially caught . runs may be scored off deflections from the batsman's of fielder's helmet.

    3. Protective helmets when not in use by the member of the fielding side, shall only be placed , if above the surface, on the ground behind the wicket keeper. In the event of the ball striking the helmet law 41.1 and 23.1 (f) shall apply viz., either Umpire shall call and signal "Dead Ball" and five penalty runs shall be awarded.
    4. Umpires are not to hold helmets.

    5. Batsman who choose to use helmet must wear (or carry) them all the time or have them taken off or onto the ground during normal breaks in play and avoid any time wasting.
    6. In all cases no actions involving helmets, are to waste playing time.
  42. Unfair play/(Lifting of the Seam):
