The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Cricket Committee has proposed two new changes that will be mulled over by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with a view to give bowlers a certain amount of leeway in limited-overs cricket.

The proposal advanced to the MCC, who are the custodians of the game, includes reverting to the usage of a solitary ball after the 25th over of an inning. Currently, two balls are used from either end for the duration of an innings. The decision is expected to help pacers generate reverse-swing and the 
spinners to extract a greater degree of turn.
