SL Tour: The Indian cricket team will soon leave for Sri Lanka tour (SL Tour). Where Team India has to play a three-match T20 series and a three-match ODI series. Players like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are present in this team.

In such a situation, players can be seen hitting a lot of fours and sixes for Team India. However, during this time, a board has taken a strange decision and banned players from hitting sixes.

Decision taken before SL Tour

Before Team India's tour of Sri Lanka, Southwick and Shoreham Cricket Club, one of the oldest cricket clubs in the United Kingdom, has banned its cricketers from hitting sixes. This decision was taken when neighbors living near the club's cricket ground constantly complained about the ball hitting people, house windows, cars and sheds. However, during this time many batsmen have expressed disappointment with this decision.

A rule well known to people of the Indian subcontinent

Those in the Indian subcontinent who have played street cricket have experience with such rules. In street cricket, hitting a six that damages property often results in the batsman being declared out and no runs being scored. The rules of street cricket played in India are completely opposite to the cricket rulebook. Also, these rules vary from locality to locality and street to street.

The batsman will be out if he hits a six

Similarly, Southwick and Shoreham Cricket Club has made a new rule according to which no run will be counted on hitting the first six and the batsman will have to return to the pavilion if he hits the second six during the same innings. This decision of Southwick and Shoreham Cricket Club can be seen as a measure to control security concerns and rising insurance costs. However, many batsmen say that the ban on sixes takes away the enjoyment of the game. Such problems are being faced due to trees in the field and small boundaries.
