Cricket (BCCI) for cricket for domestic cricket (BCCI) has announced new rules, intentionally include short runs, “retired out” dismissal and “serious injury replacement options”. According to the new rules, the opposing captain will decide which batsmen face the next ball after a deliberate short run.
In T20 cricket, including IPL, batsmen sometimes go on deliberately while trying to take two runs. The batsman may be on strike for the next over, even if it makes a run to the team. However, it is against the rules.
According to the current rules, the run is canceled, the fielding team is awarded five penalty runs, and the batsman may also have to face the match referee. The new rule makes these punishments hard to prevent practice.

Fielding captain deliberately decides the batsman after a short time
BCCI has introduced changes for the 2025 domestic season to deliberately prevent the batsmen from gaining an inappropriate lead. The fielding captain will determine which player strikes on the next ball.
“A deliberate short run is an attempt for batsmen to run more than one run, while at least one batsman deliberately does not make his land good at one end. The batsmen can choose to cancel a run, provided the umpire believes that the umpire believes that he had no intention to cheat or score runs, in which he does not make a field.”
