According to this rule, The fielding side is required to begin a new over within 60 seconds of the conclusion of the preceding over.
The stop Clock system, which is currently being trialled, will be a permanent feature in all ODI and T20I matches of all full members of ICC from the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, the ICC announced on March 15.
The stop Clock was introduced by the ICC in December 2023 and has now been included in the standard playing conditions starts from 1 June 2024.
"The Stop Clock has been made permanent in all ODIs and T20Is from June 2024, by the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies and USA," the ICC said in a statement after its annual meeting.
"The trial was supposed to run until April 2024, but the experiment has already yielded results in terms of timely completion of matches, saving approximately 20 minutes per ODI match," said the statement.
According to this rule, The fielding side is required to begin a new over within 60 seconds of the conclusion of the preceding over.
There will be an electronic clock on the ground that counts down from sixty to zero. The third umpire will control when the clock begins.
The fielding side will receive two warnings and a five-run penalty for each instance if they are not prepared to bowl the first ball of their next over in the allotted 60 seconds.
The ICC has, however, also outlined specific exceptions to the rule, and in such cases, the clock may be stopped if it has already begun.
These consist of:
- When a new batter enters the crease in between overs; during the designated drink break;
- when a fielder or batter is being treated on the pitch for an injury.
- if the fielding team is not in control of the circumstances leading to the loss of time, the rule will not be activated.
