New Delhi. The matches of the new season of the Caribbean Premier League are still being played. As for the 12th match of the league, the teams of Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots faced each other. Meanwhile, the umpires showed Sunil Narayan a red card and sent him off the field. This is the first case of showing cards in cricket. Talking about cards, we see these only in football and hockey fields. However, the organizers have implemented the new rule from the current season of the league. Narine was sent out for this reason. Meanwhile, only 10 players were fielding on the field.

According to the new rules of the Caribbean Premier League, a red card will be given only when the bowling team is behind the allotted time at the start of the 20th over. 85 minutes rule has been fixed for an innings in the league. This means that each over has to be completed in 4 minutes 15 seconds. According to this rule, the 19th over should be completed in 80 minutes 45 seconds. If the time goes beyond this, the on-field umpire will give a red card to the bowling team. It is up to the captain of the team which player is selected for that card.

Only 2 players outside the 30 yard circle
According to the rule, on receiving a red card, the player will be out and only 10 players will be fielding. Not only that, a team can only have 2 players outside the 30 yard circle. Captain Kieron Pollard picks Sunil Narine for a red card and he is out. By this time the off-spinner had completed his quota of 4 overs. He took 3 wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs. Dwayne Bravo bowled the 20th over after the red cord and the opposition took full advantage of this over. Shafran Rutherford hit 3 fours and one six in this over. In this way he scored a total of 18 runs.
