| Umpire |
Cricket umpires will be given unprecedented power in a bid to crack down on ball tampering.
The International Cricket Council has announced changes where umpires can act on suspicions of ball tampering, even if they don't have firm evidence.
Umpires will be able to replace the ball if they have belief of tampering and give the captain a first and final warning.
If there's a second infringement, a five-run penalty will be awarded to the batting team and the captain will be reported.
The changes come into effect in October.
