England captain Ben Stokes has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to note how over-tract is monitored and punished, especially in various sports conditions and continents. After England’s 22 -run win over India in the third Test at Lord’s, the hosts were docated two World Test Championships (WTC) points and were fined 10% of their match fee for maintaining a higher rate. However, Stokes believes that the current rules are not responsible for the ground realities. Stokes said in a press conference before the fourth Test at Old Trafford, “The rate is not something that I am worried about, but it is not saying that I deliberately slow down things.” “I understand the disappointment around it, but I honestly feel that it is a real difficult eye on how it is structured. “You may not have the same rules in Asia, where the spin is bowling 70 percent of overs, for similar laws in New Zealand, Australia, England, where it is going to be 70-80 percent seam bowling. Because the over of a spinner takes less time than a seater over. Stokes defended England’s over-rate during the Lord’s Test, citing fatigue and cited the nature of a five-day match on the seamers. He said, “I can understand it from the external perspective around the overs, I really do. But it’s a very difficult task when I think it’s more than just the round, I am being told that I will just get up early, get three overs,” he said. “You have found the bowlers continuously bowing their back. So during a game, the time of the over is coming down because you were still tired. “We played for five days, that was our 15th day of our cricket. We clearly got an injury for a spinner, Shoaib Bashir. So we could not turn to our spinner as we liked for five days.

Should ICC modify over-rate penalty based on sports status?

In addition, after handing over penalty to the hosts, England veteran Michael Vaughan not only questioned the ICC, but also asked why only one team faced the results.“Let’s be honest that both teams were very poor at the rates at Lord’s .. How only 1 team has been reprimanded, beyond me,” written on X after England’s cut.
