was the rule made up after the tournament started?

Keon Joseph has 24 wickets from 6 matches and was the leading fast bowler until he had to take a break due to injury. Shepherd has played a couple of matches since

what is stopping Barbados and other teams from earning more "fast" bowling points given their dept of fast bowling?
