International Cricket Council has introduced a slew of changes to the game which will be introduced over the coming few months. The global cricketing body will bring in Instagram handles on the back of the shirt in Test matches, a Twitter poll to replace coin toss, shorts to combat heat and commentators on the field to appeal to the young fans. Bear in mind, today’s date may have something to do with the radical changes!

The announcement was made via Twitter in which ICC said, “As part of our efforts to make the game more appealing to younger generations, the ICC will be applying both numbers and Instagram handles to kits from the beginning of the World Test Championship.”

The insta handle could be a joke but I read about name and number on the whites a few days back too.
