Differences in  BPL and ICC rules!

Will the BPL not follow the rules of the ICC? Bangladesh Premier League started a new rule by excluding the ICC rules. Such a question is now in the minds of many. Why not? The wrong decision given by the umpire in the Comilla-Barisal match in the BPL last Saturday was termed correct by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. BCB informed us about this through a press release recently.

Various controversies are coming before the start of this year’s BPL. The absence of DRS in BPL has come under criticism. ADRS is being used in the current BPL instead of DRS. But now a new debate has started on this too. The popular tournament has given rise to controversial umpiring since its inception. Last Saturday’s match also gave rise to discussions about this umpiring.

Comilla’s Zaker Ali Anik was left lbw by Pakistani off-spinner Iftekhar Ahmed playing for Barisal in the match. Anik wants a review even though the field umpire gave him out. It is clear that almost the entire ball is outside the leg stump. He is not out as per ICC rules.

Because according to ICC rules, if more than 50 per cent of the ball is outside the leg stump in the technology of viewing the pitching zone, it will be considered as pitched outside. Whereas in the case of Anik, the ball was almost 99 per cent outside. But still, the third umpire will give out. And their coach has expressed disappointment about this, there is a lot of criticism about it.

And BCB opens its mouth when there is a lot of criticism about it. But BCB also called the umpire’s decision correct. According to BCB, “According to the playing conditions of the tournament, if any light part of the ball is in the pitching zone, it will be considered as pitched in line. Due to this rule, the TV umpire upheld Zaker Ali’s out given by the field umpire. In this case, even if the field umpire gave not out, the decision would have been changed. “

After this explanation of BCB, it is naturally seen that there is a massive gap between ICC rules and BPL rules. Meanwhile, after such an incident, social media is also discussing and criticizing. Many critics say, if such a controversial decision is given even after having ADRs, then what is the need to have such ADRs?
