The second edition of the Legends Cricket Trophy - LCT 2024 is all set to start from Friday (March 8) in all new 90-Ball format instead of the T20 format used in the inaugural edition. Apart from the introduction of the 90-ball format, the new season will also see a new power play and strategic time-outs rule being deployed in the LCT season 2, which is scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka. The first season of the Legend Cricket Trophy, played in the 20-over format, was held in Ghaziabad, India, from March 22 to 30 last year. Indore Knights and Guwahati Avengers were declared joint winners of the inaugural season after the final was washed out.

Legends Cricket Trophy 2024 Rules The new season will debut the 90 ball format. So, how does it work? How many bowlers can be used? How many overs or balls can a bowler bowl? Here is all you need to know about the rules of LCT season 2:


Each team has to deploy five bowlers, who are allowed to bowl three overs. One bowler, however, will be allowed to bowl a fourth over, but for that the fielding team captain has to notify both the umpire and the opposing team about his choice of the bowler by the 60th ball.


The captain's choice of the bowler will be a decision strategically influenced by both performance and strategy. Each over must be complete within four minutes and 30 seconds, with a 30-second grace period.


What is the power play rule in Legend Cricket Trophy?

There are two power plays for each innings with the bowling power play lasting from balls 1 to 24, and the batting power play of one over can be triggered anytime after the 60th ball. Rain Leads To Draw Between South Africa And West Indies In Opening Test


How does the strategic time-out work in LCT Season 2?

There is one strategic time out which is mandatorily taken at the end of 48th ball. But the break can be taken between the 42nd ball and 48th ball if a wicket falls in that period with the on-field umpire taking the call for an early strategic time-out. The Legends Cricket Trophy 2024 will see 7 teams compete for coveted trophy, starting with the single round-robin stage from March 8 with tournament concluding on March 19. All the matches will be staged at the Pallakele Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
