It is a valuable addition to the game. These rules have enabled the bowlers as they can now reduce the guessing factor by the batsmen. Conway further said- After this rule, bowlers are able to put some pressure on the batsman in different situations of the match. This rule is applicable in IPL, and we have seen some benefits of this rule here. I don’t see why this can’t be the ideal situation in international cricket now. On the other hand, if we give you information about Conway, he is currently recovering from his injury. Also, there is every possibility of him playing for New Zealand team in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Also, these days he can be seen cheering for his team Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
