Other amendments codify practices already adopted by ICC. These include the clarification on boundary catches, which eliminates the so-called ‘bunny hop’ by requiring all subsequent contact with the ground to be within the field of play after airborne contact with the ball, and the tougher sanctions for deliberate short running, under which all runs are disallowed, five penalty runs awarded to the fielding side, and the fielding captain allowed to choose the batter on strike.
