Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, through a series of Tweets, urged ICC to use technology to determine whether the non-striker is backing up 🌸before ꧒delivery.
Ashwin received a substantial amount of flak for his ‘Mankad’ dismissal of Jos Buttler🎐 during the last season of Indian Premier L♐eague (IPL).
The controversial dismissal created a divide within the cricketing fraternity. While some questioned🐟 the ‘spirit of cricket’ꩵ involved in the dismissal, others supported Ashwin for restoring a better balance in the game.
“Just hope that technology ♈wi✅ll see if a batsman is backing up before the bowler bowls a ball and disallow the runs of that ball every time the batter does so!! Thus, parity will be restored as far as the front line is concerned. #noball #dontbackup,” Ashwin wrote on Twitter.

“Many of you will not be able to see the grave disparity h🌠ere, so let me ta﷽ke some time out to clarify to the best of my abilities. If the non-striker backs up 2 feet and manages to come back for a 2, he will put the same batsmen on strike for the next ball,” he added.

With the exis♍ting conditions favouring batsman more already, a non-striker holding an advantage of an extra yard before the delivery proves handy while running between wickets.
“Putting the same batsmen on strike might cost me 🍰a 4 or a 6 from the next ball and eventually cost me 7 more runs instead of maybe a 1 and a dot ball possibility at a d🐎ifferent batsman. The same will mean massively for a batter wanting to get off-strike even in a test match,” the Tamil Nadu tweaker continued.

“It is time to restore the balance in what is an increasingly tough enꦡvironment for the bowlers. #thefrontcrease #belongs to #bothparties @bhogleharsha we can use the same tech that we are proposing for a no-ball check 120 balls in a T20 game,” Ashwin concluded.
