The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has announced significant changes to the laws of Test cricket, specifically concerning the conclusion of a day's play. According to Aaj TV Latest, the new regulations, set to take effect on October 1, 2026, stipulate that if a wicket falls in the final over of the day, play will not end immediately. Instead, a new batter will come in to face the remaining deliveries. This modification aims to maintain a balance between batting and bowling sides and to keep the match exciting. As per the MCC's sub-committee on laws, the change addresses the perceived unfairness when the fielding side takes a wicket in the last over, and the batting side does not send a new player to the crease, which was seen as an advantage to the batting team when conditions favor the bowlers.
