2. No more than 4 fielders will be allowed to placed out of 30 yards circle in Non-powerplay overs.
3. On-field Umpires can take help of Third-Umpire in a balling-crease Non-Ball decision.
4. Decision of on-field umpires can be ruled out by third umpire in a "Wrong No-Ball Decision" condition. 
5. 2.5 Meter rule in DRS can now be ignored by umpires if they feel ball is definitely hitting the stumps and so the on-field umpire's decision can be altered.
