MCC Makes ‘bunny Hop’ Boundary Catches Illegal
As part of an important law revision, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), custodians of the Laws of Cricket, has confirmed a significant update to the rule concerning boundary catches. This new version will be adopted in ICC’s playing conditions from later this month and officially enter the MCC’s Laws in October 2026.
The revision, which comes following a request from the ICC Cricket Committee, aims to address what many in the cricketing world have viewed as a growing inconsistency between spectacular athleticism and fairness in the spirit of the game. The MCC noted that while recent interpretations of the law have enabled “some spectacular fielding,” they have also “created room for some unusual-looking catches that, to the majority of the cricketing public, feel unfair.”
