India-Australia series as per old ICC rules

A prominent rule change that will come into effect is that teams will no longer lose a review under DRS if a leg- before referral returns as ‘Umpires’ Call’.
With the change in the DRS rule on umpires’ call, the current rule allowing the top-up of reviews after 80 overs in Tests is set to be removed.
The ICC has also empowered umpires to send off players for misconduct, including violence. All other offences would continue to be dealt under the ICC Code of Conduct.

The upcoming India-Australia series, scheduled from September 17 to October 13, will be played as per existing by-laws of the game despite new ICC rules coming into effect from September 28.

India will play as per new rules when New Zealand tour India in mid-October. However, the rules will take effect when Bangladesh take on South Africa and Pakistan take on Sri Lanka.

The new set of rules pertaining to the code of conduct,DRS usage, and size of the equipment were supposed to be implemented from October 1 but with the twin Test series starting on September 28, it has been decided that it will come to effect from that very date.

While the India versus Australia series — comprising five ODIs and three T20 Internationals — will continue till the second week of October, the ICC has decided that it would only be prudent that this series is played as per old rules to avoid confusion.
“Yes, the rules will come into effect when the double header Tests (Sri Lanka versus Pakistan and Bangladesh versus South Africa starts) start on September 28. The Australia versus India and England versus West Indies limited overs series both start on September 17. “While both the series will continue into October but you don’t want any confusion with regards to a different set of rules followed in the same series. Hence, this decision by the ICC,” a BCCI isreported to have told media in India.
