What the hell is Powerplay, this is the first time I am hearing this.

The usual restrictions will now be in place for the first 10 rather than 15 overs. Then two blocks of five overs - the Powerplay 5s - will be implemented at the discretion of the fielding captain. There is no need for two close catchers during the Powerplay 5 but only two fielders are allowed outside the fielding restriction area.

To inform the spectators, there will be a Powerplay theme tune and the scoreboards and PA system will indicate that a block of five overs is in progress. The umpires will also deliver a signal at the start of the Powerplay 5 - a circular motion of the arms.
