• A player will receive points for their contributions even if they are taken off the pitch in favour of an x-factor or impact player replacement and later return. However, if a player enters the field as a substitute and was not listed in the starting lineups, they will not be awarded any points for their contributions (with the exception of substitutes for impact players, COVID-19, and concussions).

• During a Super Over or a Super Five, no points will be given for any actions.
• In The Hundred, there will be no points given for strike rate, economy rate, or maidens.
• Once a match is marked as finished and the victors are announced, the points granted cannot be changed again. Only while the match status is in progress or under review will the points given for a live game be subject to change.
