In a series of new rule amendments, the ICC stated that the third umpire will no longer examine
caught-behind appeals during stumping referrals issued upstairs.
ICC – As a result, clubs cannot appeal and investigate the possibility of a caught-behind dismissal without facing a review
Previously, the policy recommended that caught-behind calls be examined first before stumping.
However, with the rule change, the third umpire will only be allowed to observe the side on camera, which will clarify the stumping appeal result.
Teams used to take advantage of the particular gap by creating superfluous stumpings and sending it upstairs to see whether there was a case for being caught behind, without really conducting a review.
The problem was evident in the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, as Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey executed multiple stamping,
forcing the third umpire to examine caught-behind first, before switching to the side-on camera.
According to Cricbuzz, the modification limits a stumping review to simply checking for stumped, denying the fielding team a free review for other types of dismissal without selecting a player review.
The regulation went into effect on December 12, 2023, with an official notification expected soon. The ICC has also made a minor change to the concussion substitution regulation.
According to the article, it clarifies the laws to guarantee that a replacement player would not be authorized to bowl if the substituted player was suspended from bowling at the time of their concussion.
The governing body also announced some minor changes regarding no-ball checks and time given for on-field injury procedures.
According to the new regulation, the third umpire will have expanded authority to automatically evaluate other types of foot faults no ball in addition to the front foot.
Clarifies the time restriction for an on-field injury evaluation or treatment.
The new set of regulations intends to make the game more fluid in 2024 and beyond.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has made minor changes to the playing conditions ahead of the start of the Ranji Trophy season on Friday, January 5.
The most noticeable regulation change is the addition of penalty runs if the fielder moves unfairly while the ball is still in play.

The bowler’s end umpire must “award the one-run penalty for Wide or No ball, if applicable,” and “award the batting side 5 penalty runs.”
According to the BCCI’s new regulation, “inform the captain of the fielding side of the reason for this action,” and “inform the batters and,

as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side of what has occurred.”
The striker has the right to play the ball, or to make a legitimate second strike, after it has been delivered, without interference from the
wicket-keeper or any other fielder, according to the BCCI’s regulation on the striker’s right to play the ball.
In 2023, the aforementioned regulations applied to the BCCI’s white-ball domestic championships, the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
The much-anticipated two bouncers per over-regulation, which will be implemented in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL),
