BCCI gets tough with sweeping new domestic cricket rules, introduces match-long ban for deliberate no-balls

BCCI introduced match-long bowling ban for deliberate front-foot no-balls under Playing Condition 41.8 for the 2026–27 domestic season.

Rule 12.5.2 amended to require completion of the final over of the day even after a wicket falls, preventing teams from avoiding a new batter.

Rule 15.2 amended to bar declarations or forfeitures in the final innings to prevent manufactured results.

Wicketkeeping regulation under Rule 27.3 relaxed: gloves need only be completely behind stumps at the instant of delivery.

Head coach allowed on field during drinks intervals in domestic one-day matches.
