It will consider alternate approaches to applying fielding restrictions only in the first 15 overs of one-day matches, the separation of innings into two segments of 25 overs and the introduction of substitutes.
The committee will receive an update on recent technology trials, including umpire earpiece technology.
It will consider also increased use of television replays in official decision-making, including whether to recommend a trial that would allow the batsman or fielding captain to appeal against a decision of the on-field umpire to the TV umpire.
Issues surrounding bats used in international cricket are also up for discussion. The committee will consider submissions from the MCC and a range of manufacturers, and consider the composition, colour, size and cover of cricket bats in a bid to come up with any necessary measures.
Recent concerns over the use of carbon graphite in relation to one brand of bat will be considered as part of this.
The committee comprises six members nominated by the players and six representatives nominated by member boards. Of the 12-member committee, 10 representatives (five player-nominated and five board-nominated) come from Test-playing countries.
The committee is required to develop recommendations for the ICC chief executives’ committee that will tackle these issues during its June meeting at Lord’s.
