All Two Counties games will now have wide lines 17 inches from the wide guideline should be marked from the inside edge of the return crease. If the ball passes between the wide line and the return crease it will be considered a wide in all divisions.
For the first team, they will return to 50 overs per side. There is also a power play for the first ten overs which means that only two fielder can be stationed outside the 30-yard circle. This will be prorated in the event of a shortened game. The maximum overs is 10 overs per bowler.
For the second team, in a 45 over game a bowler can only bowl a maximum of nine overs. For the third team, the league have been regionalised in division 8, which means the furthest trip is to Long Melford in the forthcoming season. There is also a change in promotion and relegation with 2 teams being promoted and 3 teams being relegated.
