ICC Considers In-Game Penalties for Slow Over-Rates in Test Cricket

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering introducing in-game penalties for slow over-rates in Test cricket.

This would be a significant change from the current system, which only applies penalties after the match has finished.

The ICC is concerned about the slow over-rates in Test cricket, which have been a problem for many years

They are proposing that in-game penalties would be applied if a team falls behind their over-rate target.

This could involve things like reducing number of fielders outside 30-yard circle, or even awarding opposition a bonus point.

The ICC is still working on the details of the proposed system, but it is hoped that it will be introduced in the next cycle of the WTC.

The aim is to encourage teams to bowl quickly and to make Test cricket more exciting for spectators.
