MCC confirm no change in law for short-pitched bowling
The Marylebone Cricket Club took a decision on the short-pitched bowling. The rules will not be changed as the laws of the game on bouncers will remain the same.
Potentially more threatening: Michael Vaughan on ‘bouncer’ ban suggestions
Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has said that banning bouncers in Under-18 cricket could potentially be more harmful to the young cricketers as they would be suddenly exposed to it in senior cricket and hence would most likely not be able to play. “It is a ridiculous suggestion and yet another example of something risky being termed as ‘too dangerous’,” he wrote in his column for The Telegraph. Concussion specialist and the Concussion and Head Injury Research Foundation, media director of Concussion and Head Injury Research Foundation, Michael Turner had suggested to the Marylebone Cricket Club, the custodian of the cricket laws that to deal with the menace of concussion, bouncers are banned for junior cricketers. Defending why kids must play with the bouncers, Vaughan, 46, said, “I see kids play at junior level and my son too plays, there is very little short-pitched bowling. The kids don’t have that much of physical strength to bowl short pitch.” The batsmen who made over 5,700 runs in Test cricket at an average of more than 40 further warned the MCC saying, “Young batsmen have got to learn to play that stuff because if we ban it at the junior level, we would have to ban it all levels.” Concussion became an important issue in the sport of cricket after an Australian opener Phil Hughes was hit on the head by a bouncer from Sean Abbott and died due to the concussion caused by it.
