The World Test Championship final is between India and Australia at The Oval. Before the start of this match, the oil protesters of England increased the difficulty of the ICC. England's oil protesters have threatened to damage the pitch at The Oval during the Test Championship final. In such a situation, the ICC has already prepared and prepared the second pitch. Apart from this, the security of the ground has also been increased, so that the protesters can be stopped before reaching the pitch.

In England, the government is going to give about 100 licenses in the next few years, companies that get these licenses will be able to extract oil and fuel found under the ground. A demonstration is being done against this. The protesters are demanding the cancellation of these licenses.


Rules changed due to a protest
The protesters have threatened to damage the pitch. After this, the ICC has made some changes in its rules. If the pitch is bad then the umpire and match referee will decide whether the match can go ahead on that pitch or not. If that pitch is not such that further matches can be played in it, then another pitch can be used. However, the second pitch will be used only when the captains of both the India and Australia teams are ready for it.

This instruction has already been given to Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Australian captain Pat Cummins. If he is ready to play on that pitch even after the pitch has been damaged, then the game will go ahead. If either of the two captains is not happy with the condition of the pitch then the match will be called off. Some vital parts will be taken care of during the match on which the World Test Championship final will depend.

Firstly, if in the opinion of the on-field umpires the pitch is not safe to play on or the match cannot be played on the pitch, the umpire shall immediately stop play and inform the ICC Match Referee under section 6.4.1.

Subject to Clause 6.4.4, if the match is not restarted, then the on-field umpires shall inspect the pitch to see whether the pitch can be repaired and the match can be restarted from there. The match referee will then have to decide whether the rectified pitch is giving an unfair advantage to either team.

Under Section 6.4.7, the Match Referee will communicate this process to both the Captains and the Head of Ground Officials from time to time. It will be ensured by the ground officials that the information happening on the ground reaches the spectators. The World Test Championship final will start from June 7 to June 11 at 3.30 pm Indian time. An additional day has also been kept for the match, if there is any hindrance in the play due to weather, then the match will be postponed a day further.
