  • If the player does not return later, the final result will be as it stood when the player left the field. 
  • When a player enters the match as a substitute, for settlement purposes both they and the player replaced will be looked upon as to have played a full part in the match.
Penalty runs after the conclusion of an innings
  • Penalty runs added to a team’s total after the start of the other team’s innings will not count towards settlement of markets in the previous innings.
The Hundred
  • For the Hundred, an over will consist of 5 legal deliveries, so a full innings will be made up of 20 overs. All other rules remain the same as other limited overs formats.
