PLEASE NOTE:
The CGL Office is to advise on whether Net Run Rate or DLS is to be used in the current 2025/2026 Premier League 20 Overs competition.
Point 4.4.2. in the General Playing conditions is causing the net effect that DLS apparently can't be used when these conditions exist.
2025 / 2026 Playing Conditions:
Latest update: 17/01/2026 (Version 3.71) - Specific Playing Conditions for Time Cricket
Latest update: 02/10/2025 (Version 3.60) - Specific Playing Conditions for 20 Overs, 35 Overs and 50 Overs matches
Version 3.60 of the General Playing Conditions is the latest version.
Latest update includes:
Version 3.71 of the specific playing conditions for Time Cricket has the following changes.
> Starting time has been changed to 08h45 and with that the times for Lunch, Tea, the Final hour as well as the Closing time.
> Additional notes relating to when an innings will be considered closed as well as to the Retirement of a Batter have been added.
Please note again that the Playing conditions have been split into General Playing Conditions (which covers all cricket matches) and Specific Playing Conditions for each Format of Match.
