In a very unfortunate development, Frank Duckworth, one of the inventors of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method to determine results in rain-affected cricket matches, died on June 21 at the age of 84. The Duckworth-Lewis method, devised by English statisticians Duckworth and Tony Lewis, was first used in international cricket in 1997 and was formally adopted by the ICC as the standard method for setting revised targets in truncated games in 2001. Duckworth and Lewis were both awarded MBEs in June 2010. David Warner Retires From International Cricket After Australia’s ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Exit.
