There are several new rules in ‘Sixty’. The game will be played on six wickets. That is, if a team’s six wickets fall, the innings will end. The third power-play will depend on the batting team. If you hit at least two sixes in the power play of the first two overs, then only the third power-play will be available. That’s why Gayle has talked about hitting two sixes in his statement.

There are also other rules. In these 10-over matches, the edge of the wicket will not change after every over. After bowling five consecutive overs from one end, the next five overs will have to be bowled from the other end of the wicket. You have to complete 10 overs of bowling within the stipulated 45 minutes. If not, a fielder will have to walk out of the field in the last over.

The last rule will directly connect the spectators to the game. The name of which is ‘Mystery Free Hit’. The spectators will decide when the batting team can take that free hit. Visitors can vote through a specific app or website. Based on the result of that vote, it will be decided when the batting team can take a free hit.

The tournament will be held in St Kitts from August 24 to 28. Gayle played in the CPL for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots last year. The team also won the title. However, he will not go to the CPL again.
