ICC have announced a major change to the Playing Conditions, among other tweaks, effective June 1, 2023.
ICC announced changes to the Playing Conditions after the Chief Executives’ Committee approved of the recommendations from the Men’s Cricket Committee led by Sourav Ganguly and the Women's Cricket Committee.
The major change involved the soft signal being scrapped, with umpires no longer required to give a soft signal when referring decisions to the TV umpire.
"The on-field umpires will consult with the TV umpire before any decisions are taken," the ICC confirmed.
“Soft signals have been discussed at previous cricket committee meetings over the last couple of years," Ganguly said.
"The committee deliberated this at length and concluded that soft signals were unnecessary and at times confusing since referrals of catches may seem inconclusive in replays."
The other big announcement involved making helmets mandatory for high-risk positions. The compulsion of helmets will be for the following:
when batters are facing fast bowlers
when wicketkeepers are standing up to the stumps
when fielders are close to the batter in front of the wicket.
"We also discussed player safety, which is very important for us.," Ganguly said. "The committee decided that it was best to make the use of helmets mandatory in certain positions to ensure the safety of players."
The changes will come into effect on 1 June 2023 with the Lord’s Test between England and Ireland, a four-day one-off Test match.
The following World Test Championship final between India and Australia, starting June 7, will also follow these new Playing Conditions.

Looks like it's the beginning of the end of ODI cricket.
https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mcc-recommends-significant-reduction-of-odi-cricket-after-2027-1386819
The MCC has suggested limiting men's bilateral ODI cricket after the 2027 World Cup, questioning the value the format adds to an already jam-packed calendar.
The MCC's World Cricket Committee met on the sidelines of the recent Ashes Test at Lord's and have come to the conclusion that in a world of growing franchise T20 tournaments around the year, something has to give.
The 13-member committee, led by former England captain Mike Gatting, is hopeful that "a scarcity of ODI cricket would increase the quality, achieved by removing bilateral ODIs, other than in the one year preceding each World Cup. This would, as a consequence, also create much-needed space in the global cricketing calendar."
The ICC and its various members have been grappling with this situation for a while now. Jason Roy is foregoing a part of his incremental contract with England to play in the US's Major League Cricket (MLC). Trent Boult gave up a central contract with New Zealand last year, and the IPL has expanded into a two-month window with its franchises buying teams in other leagues as well, leading to the prospect of players being offered year-round T20 contracts.
The FTP for 2023-27 is more or less set. "Nothing is going to be removed," Wasim Khan, the ICC's general manager of cricket said in May. But he also highlighted that, going forward, the international game needs to find a way to co-exist with the ever-increasing number of T20 leagues.
MCC wants to know how much it really costs to host a Test match
Test cricket faces challenges of its own. The widely-held belief is that only a few countries don't lose money hosting a five-day game. In 2017, for example, Zimbabwe were exploring the possibility of playing a majority of their matches away from home because of these very concerns. To address this, the MCC's World Cricket Committee has asked the ICC to undertake an audit of the Test game with the view to setting up a "Test fund".
"This audit of operational costs [of hosting a Test match] versus commercial return would help the ICC identify nations in need of support in order to sustain a Test match programme," an MCC press release on Tuesday said. This need could be subsequently addressed via a separate Test fund, established to "protect the sanctity of Test match cricket."
The ICC established a Test fund after the Big Three boards of the BCCI, ECB and CA took administrative control of the game's governance in 2014. That, however, did not last long.
Gatting, who is on his way out as committee chair, added: "In many ways, cricket is growing and, on the surface, seems financially strong. However, we are increasingly seeing a game which focuses on a powerful few, as opposed to a democratic and inclusive approach for the benefit of the whole sport.
"It's time for the global game to reset. Too often, member nations are finding themselves living hand to mouth with their cricketing operations, versus having a long-term, viable strategy in place that future-proofs the game in their country, both financially and in terms of participation.
"We are currently at the commencement of a new ICC Future Tours Programme and financing cycle, and we would recommend further evidence of the requisite funding being directly apportioned to the strategic needs of cricket."
The World Cricket Committee also advised the setting up of a "substantial and ringfenced fund" solely for growing women's cricket, the money from which can be "allocated on a required basis to full member and associate nations who, amongst other key initiatives, fully commit to their women's pathway and national team. The WCC also believes that in order to qualify as a full ICC member, each nation must be required to commit to investing in both men's and women's cricket and field a national women's team."

he International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced equal prize money for men’s and women’s teams at ICC events while also making changes to the over-rate sanctions in Test cricket.
Equal prize money for men's and women's events
The decision was made during the ICC Annual Conference held in Durban, South Africa, marking a significant milestone in ICC's endeavor to achieve prize money parity by 2030, surpassing the predetermined timeline for the same.
Teams will now receive equal prize money for finishing in similar positions at comparable events as well as the same amount for winning a match at those events.
"This is a significant moment in the history of our sport and I am delighted that men’s and women’s cricketers competing at ICC global events will now be rewarded equally," ICC Chairman Greg Barclay said.
“Since 2017 we have increased prize money at women’s events every year with a clear focus on reaching equal prize money and from here on in, winning the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup will carry the same prize money as winning the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and the same for T20 World Cups and U19s too.
The prize money for the winner of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 received a prize money of $1.6 million, with the runners-up getting half the amount.The prize money for the winner of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 received a prize money of $1.6 million, with the runners-up getting half the amount.
“Cricket is genuinely a sport for all and this decision from the ICC Board reinforces that and enables us to celebrate and value every single player’s contribution to the game equally.”
The winners and runners-up at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020 and 2023 received $1 million and $500,000 respectively, which was five times the amount offered in 2018.
The prize money for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022, too, rose to $3.5m from the $2m that was awarded for winning the 2017 edition in England.
The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 winner received $1 million and $500,000 respectivelyThe ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 winner received $1 million and $500,000 respectively
Large investment for member nations
Each member of the ICC will also receive substantial increases in funding, thanks to the implementation of a strategic investment fund dedicated to promoting global growth initiatives aligned with the ICC Global Growth Strategy.
"The success of our media rights and commercial programme for our next four-year cycle means we are able to invest more money than ever before into our sport," Barclay said.
"All Members will receive a base distribution and then additional revenue will be in relation to contribution to the global game both on and off the field. This is by far the largest level of investment ever to go into cricket and it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity for our Members to accelerate growth and engage more players and fans and drive competitiveness."
The ICC also extended support to member nations to create sustainable revenue streams and develop the game.
New events that are coming up will now require a minimum of seven local players or Associate Member players. The organising Member will also pay a solidarity fee to the Home Board of a player.

The Barramundis secure a spot in next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup following a thumping win against the Philippines in the ongoing East Asia Pacific Qualifier.
Tournament hosts Papua New Guinea went into the ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier as favourites, and they well and truly proved themselves at the Qualifier stage with dominant performances.
Assad Vala's men maintained a solid report card with wins in each of the five games played so far, twice against Vanuatu and the Philippines and once against Japan.
With their latest win against the Philippines, the PNG now have 10 points from five wins, meaning their place in the 2024 T20 World Cup is confirmed with one game to go, against Japan, on Saturday, 29 July.
ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier Points Table:
Team Matches played Wins Losses No Results Points NRR
PNG 5 5 0 0 10 4.2349
JAPAN 5 3 2 0 6 0.7024
PHILIPPINES 5 1 4 0 2 -2.3936
VANUATU 5 1 4 0 2 -1.7198
How PNG sealed their qualification:
The PNG began their qualification dream with a dominant win against Vanuatu. The 19-year-old John Kariko led the bowling attack with a Player of the Match-worthy returns of 3/6, restricting Vanuatu to 71/8. The tournament hosts chased down the target in just 6.3 overs, sealing a comfortable nine-wicket win.
In their next outing, PNG made headlines against the Philippines thanks to Kabua Morea's sizzling five-wicket haul which also featured a hat-trick. After opting to bat, PNG posted a competitive 162/7. Morea wreaked havoc with his spell of 5/9 as the Philippines crumbled for 45.
They continued their winning streak by securing comfortable wins against Japan and Vanuatu in the next two games, sealing victories by six wickets and 39 runs respectively.
In their latest encounter on Friday, PNG once again showcased their calibre as they cruised past the Philippines with a 100-run win in Port Moresby. An impressive 118-run opening partnership set up the hosts for a massive score of 229/6 in their 20 overs.
The target proved too high for Philippines as the PNG bowlers restricted them to 129/7 and secured their qualification.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) have confirmed three major USA cities: Dallas, Florida and New York, as the venues for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
The USA is set to host the T20 World Cup for the first time, with Grand Prairie in Dallas, Broward County in Florida and Nassau County in New York chosen as the venues for the grand event.
USA and West Indies were selected as co-hosts for the global tournament back in November 2021, when the ICC Board awarded them the hosting rights. The venues were chosen following an extensive evaluation of several options.
Modular stadium solutions will be applied to increase facilities for the upcoming event. An agreement has been reached for the construction of a 34,000-seat modular stadium in Eisenhower Park, a purpose-built sports and events park in Nassau County, New York, on awarding of the required permit next month.
Grand Prairie and Broward County will be increased in size by modular stadium solutions to expand seating, media and premium hospitality areas subject to final agreement.
ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice was delighted to announce the venues for the biggest-ever T20 World Cup,
“We’re delighted to announce the three USA venues that will host part of the biggest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy. The USA is a strategically important market and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sport market.”

The CEC agreed to introduce a stop clock on a trial basis in men’s ODI and T20I cricket from December 2023 to April 2024. The clock will be used to regulate the amount of time taken between overs. If the bowling team is not ready to bowl the next over within 60 seconds of the previous over being completed, a 5-run penalty will be imposed the third time it happens in an innings.
