Gautam Gambhir Gives His Opinion

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has called upon the International Cricket Council (ICC) for an ‘urgent’ reassessment of certain cricketing rules. With no reverse swing as such in the modern-era, boundary dimensions, bouncer restrictions among many other factors, the ODI format has been ruled by batsmen in the last few years. Gambhir suggested that, if not acted upon soon, the field and bouncer restrictions, coupled with the allocation of 2 new balls in ODI cricket, can reduce bowlers to ‘programmed bowling machines’.
