       A new rule has been introduced for this season in this competition
        ==== the free hit ====
       Same rules as a no ball. For any free hit, the striker can be
        dismissed only  under the circumstances that apply for a no ball,
        even  if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.
       Field changes are permitted for free hit deliveries.
       ed for free hit deliveries.
       15. Out from a No ball

        any of the Laws except 33 (Handled the ball), 34 (Hit the ball
        twice), 37 (Obstructing the field) or 38 (Run out).
