WPL adheres to Old DRS Rules despite International changes

WPL adheres to Old DRS Rules despite International changes


The Women's Premier League (WPL) is currently in its second season, but it's still operating under outdated Decision Review System (DRS) rules in at least one aspect. Specifically, the league continues to employ a clause regarding caught-behind reviews during stumping appeals—a rule that has been abandoned internationally.

WPL


Despite recent updates by the International Cricket Council (ICC) dropping the review of caught-behind on stumping checks, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has opted to maintain the old rule for the ongoing WPL. This decision was made to ensure consistency with the rules that were in place at the beginning of the domestic season, which commenced in September. Notably, the ICC amended this rule only in December of the previous year.

The question remains whether the BCCI will revise this clause for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), scheduled to kick off exactly a month from now on March 22.

In another deviation from the norm, the BCCI has introduced Zing wickets for the first time in the WPL, though without accompanying Zing bails. Instead, run out and stumping dismissals will be determined by the illumination of the stumps, while regular bails will be used. This contrasts with international matches and other leagues, such as the ongoing India-England Test series, where Zing bails are standard.

The BCCI's decision to maintain certain traditional DRS rules in the WPL while adopting new technologies like Zing wickets but not Zing bails underscores its cautious approach to rule changes and technology adoption in domestic cricket competitions.
