What Is ICC's Stop Clock Rule?

X/@ICC [{ "selector": ".pzmkx-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-331px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".rnnet-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 249px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".lsfft-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

The ICC introduced the stop clock rule in December 2023.

The system that was on trial will become permanent from June 1, 2024.

It will be implemented permanently in the ODI and T20I matches.

As per the rule, the fielding side has to start a new over within 60 seconds of the completion of the previous over.

An electronic clock, counting down from 60 to zero, will be displayed on the ground.

The third umpire can determine the start of the clock.

The failure of the fielding side to be ready to bowl the next over within 60 seconds will attract two warnings.

The subsequent breaches will lead to a five-run penalty per incident.

However, the ICC has also laid out some exceptions to the rule.

Image: AFP [{ "selector": ".zuwpd-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 492px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".tqioc-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

If the clock has already been started, it can be cancelled in exceptional situations.
