Here are major NO ball rules. also check the attached file

A ball is considered no ball when,
(i) Any delivery, other than a slow paced one, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.

(ii) A slow delivery which passes or would have passed on the full above shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker. 
  • If the bowler bowls without some part of the front foot either grounded or in the air behind the popping crease
  • If the bowler bowls with the back foot not wholly inside the return crease.
  • If the bowler throws, rather than bowls, the ball. (See bowling for an explanation.)
  • If the bowler changes the arm with which he bowls without notifying the umpire.
  • If the bowler changes the side of the wicket from which he bowls without notifying the umpire.
  • If the bowler bowls underarm unless this style of delivery is agreed before the match.
  • If the bowler throws the ball towards the striker's wicket before entering the "delivery stride".
  • If the ball does not touch the ground in its flight between the wickets and reaches the batsman at a height above either his waist when delivered by a fast bowler (this delivery is called a 'Beamer') or the shoulder when delivered by a slow bowler.
  • If the ball bounces more than twice, or rolls along the ground, before reaching the popping crease at the striker's end. However, the ECB has ruled that in certain competitions in England the ball is only allowed to bounce once.[2]
  • If the ball comes to rest in front of the line of the striker's wicket.
