BCCI clears on membership of state associations
The BCCI has issued clarification on the ambiguity spread over the media reports about the issue of full membership of affiliated state cricket associations. The CoA issued a statement on Wednesday and said that there were reports in the media that Mumbai, Vidarbha, Saurashtra and Baroda would no longer have the right to vote.
While clarifying this issue, the BCCI has cited the list of 30 names coming under the rule of their constitution, in which names of associations are not included, but names of states are included. It has been said in the statement that full membership will be changed every year in the States where there are many affiliated members of the Board. At one time only one member will be able to use his vote. This change will be under the policy made by the BCCI. Based on this rule, the BCCI has said that full membership of Maharashtra and Gujarat will be changed every year between associations present in these states. Maharashtra, Mumbai and Vidarbha Cricket Association (not according to this order) will get the right to vote alternately. Similarly, Gujarat, Saurashtra and Baroda Cricket Association will also get the right to vote alternately.

Game Protocol :

The umpire's decision during a game is final in all matters that means no arguing with the umpire, even though you may be sure of his misjudgment. However this is rare these days due to the presence of the third umpire.
The rules of cricket define dismissals and if you know you're out within that definition, you are morally obliged to aid the umpire and walk, even though the umpire may have missed the judgment.
Bowlers are not allowed to tamper with the ball in any way. They can polish the ball by rubbing it with cloth, drying or removing mud from the ball and applying saliva or sweat to it. Any other substance is illegal, as is rubbing the ball on the ground and tampering with the seams..
Members of the fielding team cannot distract the batsmen while he is batting. If in case they do that, the umpire can call a dead ball and award five penalty runs to the batting side's total.
Bowler should not keep bowling short or high pitched balls which could cause injury to the batsmen. In such cases, the umpire can call a no ball and warn the bowler.
Players in any innings should not waste time in any way. If they do that the umpire first warns the Captain of the offending team and if it continues then five runs are awarded for the other team.
The new batsman making their way to the wicket is to be applauded.
All players are responsible to avoid unnecessary damage to the pitch during play. If a fielder damages the pitch then a caution will be issued to the fielding captain. Any repeat action from any fielder during the innings and the umpire will add five runs to the batting side's total. A batsman who damages the pitch will be cautioned by the umpire. If they do it a second time in the same innings, they'll get a final warning and any runs scored from that delivery, other than no balls or wides, will be disallowed.
Any attempt made to steal a run will see five penalty runs awarded to the fielding side.
