The permitted size of the bat is now defined, with the width and length unchanged, but with added restrictions on the thickness of the edges (40mm) and the overall depth (67mm). Umpires will be issued with a new bat gauge, which they can use to check a bat’s legality.
Batsman Ajinkya Rahane has now become the first non-wicketkeeper in the history of Cricket to take 8 catches in a single Test match. His spectacular performance at Galle International Stadium was applaudable and worth a watch.
