Former India captain M S Dhoni may have to change his bat size from Oct 01,2017, according to the newguidelines set by Marylebone Cricket Club(MCC)
The new maximum permitted dimensions of a cricket bat will be 108mm in width, 67mm in depth with 40mm edges. As M S Dhoni carries the bat with an edge of 45mm and he will have to decrease the thickness to adhere to the MCC guidelines.
Not only Dhoni, big hitters like David Warner, Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard too will have to forego their current bats as they exceed the dimension limits. The Australian newspaper reported last December that Warner's Twenty20 bat has a maximum depth of 85mm, 18mm more than the proposed new rule would allow.
