Nothing in the Laws, and I wouldn't do anything to prevent it at all. The umpire's got enough to worry about on the field, without trying to police what happens in the nets, or anywhere else.

Our Premier League (and I think sveral others) do have specific regulations prohibiting this practice. It can certainly be a distraction to the players, not just the umpire.

There are no rules as such preventing a batsman from practicing outside the area of play.
However, if the nets are very close to the boundary thereby disturbing the players and Umpires, there are two options that i might like to suggest...
1). Get the ground authorities to move the nets farther away from the gorund....may not be possible at all grounds due to space restrictions.
2). Stipulate the conditions in your domestic playing conditions.
In some international tournaments (not the test playing natiions tournaments, but, something like WC Qualifiers or U-19 world cup tournaments) or even in domestic high level first class tournaments, you might often find teams not playing that particular day practicing on the nets very close to the ground. These can be avoided if the practice area is moved away.

Anything that disturbs a striker or umpire is not to be allowed. If there is no distraction, nothing stops the batter from practicing outside the boundary line.
