In its ongoing efforts to hurry up the tempo of play in worldwide cricket, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched a cease clock, on a trial foundation, in Full Member Men’s ODI and T20I matches (roughly 59 fixtures) between December 2023 and April 2024.
The trial will begin with the primary T20I match between the West Indies and England on December 12 in Barbados.
The cease clock will prohibit the period of time taken between overs, which means that the bowling workforce will must be able to bowl the primary ball of their subsequent over inside 60 seconds of the earlier over being accomplished.

Failure to take action for the third time in an innings (following two warnings) will lead to a five-run penalty, being imposed in opposition to the fielding workforce.
Wasim Khan, ICC General Manager stated, “We are continually looking at ways to speed up the pace of play across international cricket.”
“The stop clock trial in white-ball international cricket follows the introduction of a successful new playing condition in 2022, which resulted in the fielding team only being allowed four fielders outside of the inner circle if they were not in a position to bowl the first ball of their final over in the stipulated time.
The outcomes of the stop clock trial will be assessed at the end of the trial period,” he added.
