Daily Mirror - Sri Lanka
|February 05, 2026
Changes are to be made to the Laws of Cricket to permit bats previously deemed illegal in an effort to make the game affordable for amateur players amid the rising cost of English willow.
-
The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) announced an amendment, external to Law 5.8 entitled 'categories of bat' as one of 73 changes which will come into effect on 1 October 2026 as part of a new edition of Laws being published.
From that date the MCC will allow laminated bats - known as Type D bats - made with up to three wooden pieces to be used in open age recreational cricket.
