The Term “Over” Will Be Redundant

Ten balls – split into two blocks of five balls each – will be bowled from each end. A bowler can bowl both blocks of five balls from the same end or bowl one block from each end, as decided by the fielding captain. No bowler can bowl more than 20 balls in a game. After a chunk of five balls, a call of “five” will be made by the umpire who will raise a white card. The white card will provide separation of chunks of five balls, to avoid any confusion among spectators if 10 successive balls are bowled by a bowler from one end.
