IT CAN CHANGE THE GAME.

“It’s an interesting concept. It’s actually shown to change the game. Samit [Patel] took a Timeout when the South were cruising [in a pilot match] and all of a sudden we lost four wickets in 10 balls and it changed the game completely.”

A KEY MOMENT FOR COACH AND CAPTAIN.

"I really like it. I think it’s good for coaches to potentially see something that as players you don’t notice and be able to communicate that. Also, as captain, you’re often fielding in the inner ring, and players can be far away, around the pitch. This option allows you to get everyone back in, gather your thoughts and get strategic information over to them."

 A TIMEOUT MIGHT HAVE CHANGED HISTORY.

The final over of that 2016 ICC Men's World T20 final. Or India, trying to remove Sciver and Taylor at Lord’s. Or Australia in Cardiff, 2009, attempting to break Jimmy and Monty’s powers of concentration. What an impact a Timeout could have made.
