  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

    1ST EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES CRICKET TROPHY TWENTY / 20 SOFIA / BULGARIA 16-18 JULY 2015 PLAYING CONDITIONS Cricket Cround National Sports Academy “Vasil Levski” Sofia/Bulgaria The standard and current edition of Twenty20 International Match Playing Conditions (T20IMPC) with effect from 1st October 2012 shall apply. Except as varied there under and as applicable to this domestic environment and which in turn have been amended, varied or added to hereunder, the Laws of Cricket (2000 Code 4th Edition – 2010) shall apply. Note: All references to ‘Governing Body’ within the Laws of Cricket shall be replaced by ‘ICC/BCF Match Referee as the case may be’. I. MATCH RULES 1. A team will earn 2 points for a win. (If the match is abandoned / called off because of inclement weather – then each team will earn 1 point). 2. For matches that are interrupted or prematurely terminated, Law 21.7 as per the T20IMPC will apply, which for ease of reference are re-quoted here: "If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 6 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis method. If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 6 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the match to be resumed, the match will be decided by comparison with the D/L ‘Par Score’ determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth/Lewis method.

  • ICC WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP Interim Changes to Playing Conditions Due to COVID-19
    ICC WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP Interim Changes to Playing Conditions due to COVID-19 Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major disruption to the international cricket calendar, with no matches played since March. Even though all Members are looking to resume playing cricket at the earliest opportunity, there are currently many barriers to resuming international cricket – the logistics and cost of providing a safe environment for participants, the difficulty of undertaking international travel, the quarantine periods that are part of the immigration processes for some countries, and the government regulations that restrict personal movement and sporting activity in each country. The ICC has supported Members in their efforts to resume playing international cricket by introducing some interim changes to the World Test Championship Playing Conditions to provide a safer environment for players and match officials. The changes that will apply to the World Test Championship are detailed below. 1. COVID-19 Replacements (1.2 – THE PLAYERS - Nomination and Replacement of Players) A new Playing Condition has been introduced to allow a full playing replacement for any player that is prevented from participating in the Test Match as a consequence of COVID-19. The process that needs to be followed is like the one for a Concussion Replacement, with the key points being: • The player must have; ➢ tested positive for COVID-19, or ➢ been diagnosed with COVID-19 symptoms, or ➢ been prevented from participating as a result of applicable public health guidance (for example, needing to be isolated after coming in contact with an infected person) • The symptoms of COVID-19 must have been formally diagnosed by the Team Medical Representative and endorsed by an independent medical practitioner.
