BCCI adopts MCC rule changes for 2026-27 domestic season; final over to continue even if wicket falls

The BCCI will implement Marylebone Cricket Club rule changes for the upcoming domestic season. The final over of the day must now be completed even after a wicket falls. Bowlers deliberately bowling front-foot no-balls will be suspended for the entire match. Declaration and forfeiture are no longer permitted in the match's final innings. New playing conditions will also address gendered language and other relevant changes.
