For the first time in the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League's history, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has decided to introduce a two-minute allowance rule for every wicket that falls. The prestigious tournament kicks off on September 13 across Mumbai's maidans.

Much-needed change
The new rule is sure to bring some respite to teams who were often slapped with penalties for struggling to complete 15 over-quotas in an hour last season. In order to avoid such penalty, most teams preferred using spinners over pace bowlers.
