Cricket’s new red card rule

Dear Editor,

The captain is up in arms against the new red card rule and attendant consequences introduced in this year’s CPL  The more pertinent concern in the rile up now was it because his team was the first to suffer the indignity of being red carded? If he feels so strongly about the new rules then his concerns/objections should have been registered when the rule was introduced. It opens the question though if the new rules were made known in advance would the objecting captain/team be a participant in this year’s edition?  Does the red card rule also apply to the women’s league too? The game is played with rules.  We may not like it but that is just how it is.

Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
