* Details of the simplified two stage process for the review of bowlers reported with suspect bowling actions
* Full list of members of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires and Referees
* Revised playing conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals
The Official Playing Regulations Manual 2002/2003 also includes revised regulations for advertising on cricket equipment and clothing in international cricket and an outline of the principles of natural justice.
Other sections contain contact details for all Full Members and key ICC personnel and there are reference materials incorporating an explanation of the Duckworth/Lewis method of re-calculating the target score in an interrupted match.
