June 26, 200520 yr This is an interesting innovation, seems that the teams will be able to >if bowling, let bowler A finish his stint then replace him with a batsman ready for their inningsand vice versa. ICC annual meeting Substitutes to be allowed in ODIs ICC Media Release June 25, 2005 Changes to one-day internationals are being made to bring added interest to matches © Getty Images The ICC chief executives' committee (CEC) has approved the introduction of two innovations into all one-day internationals from July 30. The new regulations, which involve the fielding restrictions and the introduction of replacement players, will be trialled for 10 months after which they will be reviewed by the Cricket Committee - which made the initial recommendations - at its 2006 meeting. The primary change in ODI cricket will see an increase from 15 to 20 overs of fielding restrictions. These will apply for the first 10 overs of every innings, in addition to two blocks of five overs which must be selected by the fielding captain. The CEC decided that the additional 'close-catcher' field restrictions should only apply for the first 10 overs. The CEC also approved the introduction of football-style replacements which will permit sides to replace a player at any stage of a match. The replaced player will be ruled out of the rest of the match while the replacement will be entitled to assume any remaining batting or bowling duties. Both players will receive a cap. These two innovations may be trialled during the NatWest Challenge between England and Australia starting on July 7. The ECB and Cricket Australia will decide whether this is to be the case after consulting with their stakeholders to assess the feasibility of introducing the changes within the required timeframe
