He reckons that it might reduce the turnaround time for the bowlers and thereby affect the quality of the game.
Jayawardene was reflecting on the rule in The Hundred that stipulates having an extra fielder in the 30-yard circle in case the bowling side doesn’t finish their innings in time.
Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Mahela Jayawardene pointed out that we cannot compare the IPL with The Hundred.
The former Sri Lanka skipper wants the bowlers in the IPL to have enough time to strategize so that the game will have tactical quality.
Mahela Jayawardene is currently in the UK with his assignment as the head coach of the Southern Brave in The Hundred.
“Definitely like the fact that the new batter has to come in to strike at the fall of a wicket” - Mahela Jayawardene
Mahela Jayawardene revealed that he liked the rule in The Hundred that demands the new batter to be on strike irrespective of whether the batters cross during the previous delivery.
Currently, the batter on strike changes if they manage to cross each other during the dismissal. The rule gives a strategic advantage to the batting side.
The fact that a bowler has been allowed to bowl two blocks of five deliveries back-to-back has also impressed the Mumbai Indians coach.
Mahela Jayawardene will join the Mumbai Indians side in the UAE for the second phase of IPL 2021 after the completion of The Hundred.
