General Rules:
All the traditional cricket rules apply. Some rules that are different are as follows.
No LBWs (leg before wicket) and leg byes. byes and Overthrows apply.
We do not consider leg byes. No runs score on leg byes. So, there are no run outs on those balls too.
If all 3 stumps are down while running, it is required to keep the stump up again and hit with the ball to make it out.
No-Ball Rules No Free HIT:
Ball clearly above the waist on full (Irrespective of spin or pace bowling) is a no ball. Even if batsmen touch the ball above waist on full it’s a no ball.
Ball passing above the head of the batsman after bouncing is a wide ball and will be counted as one-for-the-over.
First Ball passing above shoulder height and below the head of the batsman after bouncing will be warning (if the batsman touches it or not) and second ball will be No ball (No free hit).
Ball passing above shoulder height for batsman and below the head of the batsman after bouncing will be declared OUT if caught and it’s the first ball above shoulder height and below the head of the over because it’s a warning.
Ball passing above shoulder height for batsman and below the head of the batsman after bouncing will be declared NOT OUT if caught and it’s the second or later ball above shoulder height and below the head of the over because it’s a no ball.
Batsman will NOT be declared OUT trying to hit a ball above his head level if it does not bounce as it will be a no ball.

Only ways out for a no ball are run out/hitting ball twice /obstructing the fielder. Any runs scored will be added to the 1 run given for no ball.

Wide ball rules are normal.
There should not be more than 4 on the grass area.
Umpire can decide and call of the game if there is rain.
Any byes taken will be added to the 1 run given for wide ball.
Scoring:
If the ball goes over the straight boundary directly, 6 runs will be given to the batsman. If the ball rolls to the boundary line, 4 runs will be given to the batsman. On the line should favor batsman
If the ball goes over the fence on the off side, leg side or behind the wicket keeper, 1 run will be declared and the batsmen will change. If the ball rolls and goes outside the fence, 1 run will be declared and the batsmen will change [dugout entrance].
If the ball hits the side/back fence and stays in the field, the batsman has to run between the wickets to make runs.
If the ball gets stuck in the fence, then 1 runs is declared and the batsmen will change.
If the ball hits/touches the fielder before rolling outside the fence, then batsman must run between the wickets to make runs.
Rules related to catch:
Batsman is out if a catch is taken by the fielder who is in contact with the fence. However, the ball should not be in direct contact with the fence during the catch.
Batsman is not out if the fielder takes a catch off the bounce from the side fence.
Batsman is NOT OUT if the catch is taken beyond the fence/field (not boundary limits).
When a fielder takes the catch near boundary line he should stop there until umpire gives confirmation on decision. Umpire will take a look and gives his final decision. Failing that and if umpire after review feels doubtful he may go with the benefit of doubt for BATSMAN.
Rules related to substitutions:
A fielder can be substituted during the game by notifying the umpire.
If a fielder leaves the field for the last 2 overs in the innings, he will not be allowed to bat for the first 2 overs.
A batsman can be substituted at any time of the play with another not out batsman. There is no rule to force the retired batsman to come only at the end of the innings.
If a bowler walks out of the field for 1 over, the bowler needs to stay on the field for at least 1 over before bowling the next over.
Help runners are not normally permitted. Again, it’s not the opposition captain, but the main Umpire who has the right to grant a help runner based on the situation.
