• Proposed solution would involve a time limit
The MCC World Cricket Committee has floated the idea of introducing a “shot clock” to the sport that would cut down the amount of time wasted between balls and overs to counter the slowing pace of matches.
According to this MCC advisory panel, which is made up of current and former players, over rates in Test cricket are at their slowest for 11 years, while those for Twenty20 matches are at an all-time low since the format’s introduction in 2003.
