MCC announces major change in boundary catches rule, set to be included in ICC’ playing conditions

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) recently came forward and announced a huge change to the law relating to the catches taken near the boundary rope. With the new set of rules announced, an airborne fielder can only touch the ball once when he is beyond the boundary rope. After the first touch, the fielder will need to come inside the field to complete the catch.
