One-day internationals from October will employ the use of two new balls per innings and will have new powerplay restrictions after the ICC's Chief Executive's Committee (CEC) agreed with the Cricket Committee's recommendations.
The new balls will be used from opposite ends, while the elective powerplays will only be allowed to be taken between the 16th and 40th overs.
"Even though the success of 50-over cricket played during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 was universally acknowledged, the CEC rightly supported the enhancements recommended by the ICC Cricket Committee to strengthen the format further, including encouraging Members to trial some specific innovations in their domestic cricket," ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said.
Among those innovations are a review of the maximum number of overs that a bowler can bowl, an increase from one to two for the number of short balls permitted per over, no compulsory requirement for close catchers and a maximum of four fielders outside the 30-yard circle during non-powerplay overs.
It was also agreed that a revised version of the Decision Review System would be used in one-day internationals, with only one incorrect review allowed per innings.
Meanwhile the CEC agreed that runners should be abolished in all international cricket.
A tighter line will be taken on slow over-rates, with captains facing a suspension for two over-rate breaches in a 12-month period in any one format of the game, rather than the current position which is three breaches prior to suspension.
The suggestions will need the sign-off from the ICC Executive Board later this week, but that should be a formality.
Also on the agenda was the Associates' right to play in the 2015 World Cup, but the debate remains up in the air.
"The CEC recommended that there should be a qualification process for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 but did not make a recommendation to the ICC Executive Board on the number of teams that should compete in the event to be held in Australia and New Zealand," the ICC statement read.
