He is undoubtedly India’s finest cricketing brain and very few can match Rahul Dravid in reading the game. Talking about the rule changes Dravid on Wednesday said that the ICC’s new Code of Laws related to the thickness of bats to be restricted will have an impact on the game of cricket.
Under the new rule, the thickness of bats will be restricted to 108mm in width, 67mm in depth with 40mm edges in a bid to redress the balance between bat and ball.
“Yes, change in bat size will have an impact. The results of the games will show the affect. Though the change isn’t very drastic as only few players use bats which do not come under new rules. It is a good decision,” said Dravid.
“It is also about the nature of the pitch and the size of the boundary that matter,” Dravid added.
ICC has implemented new rules from 28th September.
