Here we look at the new cricketing rules:-

1. Before October 1^st, 2017, the teams will not lose the review in case of umpires call. This comes in effect off Leg before Wicket. If the umpire gives it not out and the opposition team calls for a review, its umpire calls, the team lost its review. From next month, this will be not the case.

2. The teams will not get 2 reviews after the end of 80 overs in an innings. According to the current rules, if the team decides to review and its unsuccessful one review is wasted, if the captain decides to review 2^nd one and not a success, then the team will have no review. From October, the two reviews after 80 overs will not be set up.
