ICC's new playing condition rules leave players confused

The new playing condition rules laid down by the ICC have left Indian and Australian cricketers confused after it was applied in the rain-hit first Twenty 20 International at Ranchi. Australian opener Aaron Finch said it was strange that the rules were mixed and matched for the T20I series, while his Indian counterpart Shikhar Dhawan too admitted of being unaware of the changes.According to ICC's new playing conditions for shortened games that came into effect on September 28, DRS would now be used in T20Is in addition to Tests and ODIs. The rules also state if a game is reduced to less than 10 overs, the maximum quota of overs per bowler shall not be less than two: meaning in a six overs' match three bowlers will be able to bowl two overs each.
