  • NSCA Return to Play Protocol
    Return to play plan – Nova Scotia Cricket Association Introduction In preparing this plan, NSCA consulted with Sport NS, Cricket Newfoundland & Labrador, Cricket New Brunswick, Cricket PEI, Quebec Cricket Federation, medical professionals, and national body Cricket Canada. In addition, it was reviewed by Ingleton Liburd, General Manager of Cricket Canada, with input from various other provinces within Canada. The plan was prepared by a committee of the National Board and approved by the NSCA Board in a meeting on May 31st 2020. About cricket While NSCA is a PSO affiliated with Sport NS, Cricket is not well known in the province, it may be useful to outline the main aspects of the sport to assist in evaluating this plan. It is a bat and ball game without physical contact, with typical distances of more than 2m between players. It is closely analogous to softball and baseball. In Nova Scotia the game, as organized by and under the purview of NSCA, is played only on the Halifax Commons which makes enforcing the control mechanisms effective. Our programmes have two main components when normally carried out: Practice Practice takes place with variable numbers of High Performance (HP) athletes. The main practice facility is Spryfield Lions Gym (Indoors) and Ridgecliffe Middle School (Playground) for physical training. There are also “nets' ' within the batting cages – at the Warehouse (private facility in Lower Sackville), where at a lane each where a single batsman will practice against 3-4 bowlers taking turns to bowl at them. In addition fielding practice will take place at Ridgecliffe Middle School playground where about 20 participants practice fielding, catching and throwing, usually widely spaced.

  • Is Australian Cricket Racist?
    Is Australian cricket racist? What they said… ‘There wasn’t a match I wasn’t racially abused in when I went out to bat’ John McGuire, an Indigenous player who is second in the all-time run-scoring list for the first-grade competition in Western Australia ‘We have to be vigilant against any comments, against any actions, even though it’s conducted by only a very small minority of people’ New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian warning cricket fans against making racially abusive comments The issue at a glance On January 9. 2021, on day three of the India vs Australia test match being played on the Sydney Cricket Ground, India captain Ajinkya Rahane and other senior players spoke to the umpires at the end of play. It was subsequently revealed that they were alleging racist abuse from some sections of the crowd. On January 10, play was stopped for eight minutes following claims of more alleged abuse. At least six fans were removed from their seats for allegedly making racist comments after Mohammed Siraj ran in from the fine-leg boundary, alerting teammates before umpires passed on the message to security and police. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jan/10/india-report-alleged-racist-abuse-from-scg- crowd-during-third-test A subsequent enquiry confirmed that racial abuse had occurred; however, the six spectators who had been escorted from the stadium were not the perpetrators. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12200065/cricket-australia-confirms-india- players-were-racially-abused-in-sydney-six-fans-cleared The incident has provoked significant discussion regarding the extent of racism in Australian cricket.

  • UPDATED GUIDANCE for PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY in WALES from 27Th March 2021
    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 27 March 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 13th March. From Saturday 27 March: • You can use outdoor cricket nets with members of your household or support bubble, or with people from one other household, as long as the total number of people engaging in cricket activity is no more than 6 (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either of those households as they do not count towards the group size limit). • One to one coaching can resume. The coach counts as one household meaning that the other participants (up to 3) must be from the same household as each other (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either households). • Social distancing rules must be observed. • Clubs should refer to Part 2 for guidance on the preparation of their ground and safe installation of nets. • The end of stay local guidance, meaning that you can travel to play permitted outdoor cricket anywhere in Wales. For under 18s (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020), this means organised outdoor cricket activity can take place anywhere in Wales. ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits.
