The ICC has taken a leaf out of the IPL’s book to introduce a strategic time out for the ICC World T20 World Cup 2021.
ICC has announced that there will be a drinks break similar to IPL’s strategic timeout, which will take place during each and every match. The duration of the break will be of 2 minutes and 30 seconds and will take place during the halfway mark of each innings.
Though Strategic timeout gives teams a break and allow captains and coaches to have tactical discussions, its gives more a commercial opportunity for sponsors to slot it more advertisements.
