Anyone having contact from where to know cricket rule in special case where fielding side fielded 12 players n realised mistake in 4 overs.
Will this affect outcome of already completed match ???
 
It's up to the umpires to enforce the rule and make sure that there are only 11 players on the field. Failure by the umpires as well as the opposing team to notice is the same as the failure to notice any other violation: nothing happens on the field itself, but warnings and suspensions can be handed out if done intentionally.

If the substitute has touched the ball and the umpire notices immediately or shortly afterwards, a 5-run penalty can be imposed. If they don't, then, as I said, nothing can be done about it on the field itself as the situation would be the result of an umpiring error or errors.
 
Can i get something written material about the same as a proof ???
Or any organisation whom i can write n get reply immediately or within a day ???

We played quarter final last week and in the 4th over of the fielding we realised there r 12 players on the field. We stopped the match and informed the umpires who accepted there mistake saying its umpires duty to check how many players r on the field and after removing the player game went on. The game was a tie and we won in super over.
Now since the losing team is related to members to cricket association, the association members r forcing us to play rematch which we r denying after consulting many people.
Please if someone can help to get a letter from any reputed cricket organisation regarding the ruling of this situation within a day.
Please guys help me in this.
 
There is a written rule if a 12th fielder comes onto the field and comes into contact with the ball and the umpire sees it straight away, then the batting side is awarded 5-penalty runs.

But there is no rule for the situation where you had an extra man for multiple balls or overs. There is no way to tell how many time the extra man came into contact with the ball. The only way to handle it is to talk to the tournament organiser say that the umpire said it was fine.
