INTRODUCTION Cricket Australia (CA) schedule all international and domestic cricket matches each cricket season however State/Territory Associations retain the right to nominate host venues for their home domestic matches (including finals) and nominate venues for Underage National Championships. Nominated venues for Tier 2 matches must be fully briefed, observe and comply with the ‘Venue Guidelines for Australian Cricket’ as outlined in this document.

This is the fourth edition of the venue guidelines for Tier 2 content and outlines the guiding principles and provisions that relate to the host venue requirements of A Series, Tour Matches, Women’s International Series, Domestic Men’s One-Day Competition, Sheffield Shield and BBL matches.

In considering venues, a State/Territory Association must ensure that: 1. The match and competition is enhanced by being played at a venue that delivers conditions to benchmarked standards and where possible exceeds them, 2. The participating players are afforded the opportunity to enhance their skills through playing on quality and during the competition(s),

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 5

3. All facilities, including the pitch, outfield, infrastructure (temporary and permanent), ground, practice, player privacy and appropriate available accommodation are of an acceptable standard.

Any venue proposed for use in a men’s or women’s interstate or international competition, irrespective of being utilised in previous seasons, may be subject to a CA venue inspection to assess compliance with these guidelines during each season.

SCOPE OF GUIDELINES Due to the varying nature of requirements for each individual fixture, Australian Cricket competitions have been divided into four tiers: Tier 1 – International Men’s Cricket Matches Tier 2 – A Series, Tour Matches, Women’s International Series, Domestic One Day Cup, Sheffield Shield, BBL Tier 3 – Senior Pathway Tournaments Tier 4 – Underage National Championships

Table 3 Breakdown of Cricket matches by Tier TIER 1 TIER 2 TIER 3 TIER 4 International Cricket Women’s International Women’s Official Cricket Australia Underage Council (ICC) fixtures series International Emerging National Championships Series Australian Country Cricket Championships A Series and Official Women’s National Cricket National Indigenous Cricket International Tour Matches League Championships Domestic One-Day Cup Futures League Premier Cricket competitions Sheffield Shield International Underage Series and Tours BBL WBBL

This document should be used as a guide for the venue standards for Tier 2 Matches as per the table above. For Cricket Australia Matches, your Cricket Australia contact, or relevant Functional Area contact will confirm delivery requirements as appropriate to the proposed match and venue.

Reference should also be given to the relevant Cricket Australia Playing Conditions for minimum match standards as they become available.

Please note: venue specific requirements as outlined in the CA official playing conditions shall supersede this document.

Figure 1 C. EX international sports Stadium - Coffs harbour under lights

CONTROL OF THE MATCH/SERIES/TOURNAMENT(S) Tier 2 Matches are Cricket Australia owned matches, managed by Cricket Australia – excluding BBL.

Cricket Australia will be guided by State and Territory Associations in initial contact with venues according to existing protocols and relationships. Cricket Australia will then work with Venues to establish the terms of venue use and operational responsibility for Tier 2 matches to confirm host venues. Venue Hire Agreements will be drafted from these arrangements.

Cricket Australia works with State and Territory Association Staff and Venue Staff/Volunteers to deliver Tier 2 matches.

Representatives from Cricket Australia, State/Territory Association and the Venue should be in attendance for the operational delivery of each match.

FIELD OF PLAY Definition of a suitable wicket block and pitch: Wicket Block: The entirety of the wicket block has an even grass covering and the bowlers ups are even and dry. Match Wicket: The pitch must appear flat with an even layer of grass and no bare patches. A good pitch should provide consistent pace and bounce throughout the entirety of the match and provide an even contest between bat and ball. Outfield: Must be well grassed and cut to a short and even length with no bare patches. If dangerous holes and undulations in the outfield exist, these should be addressed so that the playing surface is level. Care should be taken to ensure are no excess grass clippings on the field of play.

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 8

It is the responsibility of the host association to work with the curators and ground staff at all Tier 2 match venues to ensure the preparation of outfields and wicket blocks are of a suitable standard. It is a requirement that all content scheduled within 6 weeks of the match/tournament must be advised to CA and CA may ask for content to clear to ensure appropriate pitch and ground preparation. All ground renovation plans must be shared CA during the scheduling of matches.

Pitch and outfield condition updates should be discussed with Cricket Australia’s Head of Cricket Operations or the assigned Consultant Curator at regular intervals leading into Tier 2 Matches. From time-to-time CA may elect to engage a Consultant Curator to assist with this process.

Appendix 2, Pitch and Ground Preparation Template, is a checklist for ground staff in their planning and preparation for all Tier 2 Matches. While not all equipment will be compulsory for Tier 2 Matches, Ground Staff should provide an indication of what is available and share this with Cricket Australia and the Host State Association.

All pitches and grounds used for Tier 2 matches will be rated as part of the post-match meeting process with the captains of each team and match referee or via a captain’s feedback form and submitted back to CA for review.

Pitch Area and Training Pitches The number of match pitches to be prepared will vary depending on the schedule. The match wicket for Cricket Australia Matches should be confirmed with Cricket Australia no less than 10 days prior for televised matches or one week prior for Live Streamed matches.

Single Match It is preferred that the match pitch area is to be a minimum of three pitches , well grassed and flat. It is preferred that the match pitch has at least one pitch either side to assist batters footing while running between wickets. If the venue has a drop-in wicket the minimum requirement for Tier 2 matches is 1 pitch.

Multiple Matches Where a venue is hosting multiple matches in a series or tournament, 3 wickets should be nominated no less than 10 days prior to the start of the series / tournament for the duration of the competition.

The rotation of the wickets should be determined in advance in consultation with Cricket Australia and the State/Territory association.

One Day and T20 Matches A good one-day or T20 pitch is consistent in pace and bounce the duration of a match. There should be minimal amount of turn or assistance for spinners and little or no VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 9

seam movement for fast or medium pace bowlers. The most important measure is consistency, which will provide an equal opportunity in conditions for both teams.

Multi Day Matches A good four or five-day pitch will provide consistent pace and bounce with some degree of seam movement at the outset and on the first two days. It should begin to wear gradually as the match progresses, offering some assistance to spin bowlers later in the match.

Training Pitches The facility should provide secure access for the players and ideally be situated as close as possible to the dressing rooms.

Training pitches must be available for specified training sessions and pre-match for team warm ups.

A minimum of 3 flat turf pitches and 1 hard wicket, or equivalent that allows for throw downs are to be provided on the ground itself or adjacent to it with full run ups and sight screens.

It is expected that the crease be positioned on a prepared wicket surface meaning that the bowlers are landing on a turf wicket and not a synthetic surface.

Timber stumps should be provided for every training session, with at least one stump at the bowler’s end. Appropriate stumps should be provided for every training session on synthetic surfaces (including indoor) with at least one stump at the bowler’s end. Please check with your Cricket Australia or Host State representative for the use of the correct commercially branded stumps where applicable.

Pitch Covers

Condition and Size Covers must be in good condition and adequately protect the pitch and the pitch surrounds. This includes the entirety of the wicket block to a minimum of 5 metres surrounding the square (or to the point of drainage) and the bowlers run–ups to a distance of at least 10 metres x 10 metres as measured from the stumps (or as stated in the Cricket Australia Playing Conditions as applicable).

Three hessians or an absorbent material must be used to protect the wicket from sweating if flat covers are used.

Matting or an alternate suitable material may be used to protect any pitch being prepared for a future match, or to cover any dangerous areas that may prohibit play taking place in agreement with Cricket Australia prior to the match and the match referee prior to the start of play. VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 10

Covering of Wickets The pitch shall be entirely protected against rain up to the commencement of play (in line with the playing conditions).

At all multi day matches; the pitch area shall also be wholly covered at the termination of each day’s play or, providing the weather is fine, within a period of two hours thereafter and at the match officials direction for the duration of the period of the match if there is inclement weather.

It is acknowledged that each venue may differ environmentally due to local conditions and it is expected that Oval Managers/Curators will use local knowledge to determine the number of days before the commencement of the match in which the pitch area is to be covered and protected against the elements.

Where turf practice wickets are made available, appropriate covers and hessian should be used at all times.

Storage of Covers For the duration of all matches (except if it is raining), pitch covers must be stored in locations where they can be readily deployed, ideally in the curator’s race or equivalent and out of sight.

At venues where this is impossible, every effort must be made to ensure the covers are folded neatly and as flat as possible and positioned a minimum of 4m from the boundary rope (distance to be greater where practical). This is to both minimise the risk to players crossing the boundary while and to avoid advertising boards from being obscured.

CA may utilise end of wicket signage boards behind the bowler’s arm, therefore it is preferable if covers can be stored away from the area directly in front of sight screens.

Outfield and boundaries

Outfield The playing arena should conform to the boundary dimensions specified in the CA playing conditions of each tournament/series/match and provide a flat and well-grassed surface, free of any undulations or bare patches.

If a State/Territory association wishes to schedule a match at a venue with dimensions smaller than the minimum boundaries specified in the Playing Conditions, Cricket Australia must be consulted for approval.

As a guide, the aim should be to maximize the boundaries, subject to no boundary exceeding the maximum distance specified in the playing conditions while accommodating the recommended safety distance of 4m from the rope to any hard object where possible.

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 11

Boundary A rope or hose that can be safely secured to the surface may be used. Any fixed or protruding objects that could cause injury to players, officials or spectators must not be used. All pegs used to secure the boundary rope must be fully inserted into the ground to ensure that a finger cannot fit between the rope and the peg. Thin Wire pegs (easily purchased from Bunnings Warehouse) are ideal for this purpose, and preferred over the traditional thicker tent pegs. As seen in Figure 4.

 

Figure 4 Image showing incorrect peg and application Figure 5 Correct use of peg to secure boundary rope

It is advised that the boundary rope should be a minimum distance of 4metres from the nearest solid object. Where maximum boundary sizes are achieved and there is the opportunity to extend the distance between the boundary and the nearest solid object, this should be applied.

Solid objects positioned a minimum of 4m beyond the boundary may include: Perimeter fence Perimeter signage LED Signage Photographers area

The Field of Play must be completely surrounded by a fence constructed of timber, steel, plastic or aluminum. Venues should check they comply with local laws when considering the height of a playing arena fence.

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 12

Behind the Fence Consideration must be given to player security and spectator seat kills in determining the location of the dugouts and other structures positioned near or on the field of play

Dugouts Thought should be given to a designated space for emergency fielders that is positioned near the entrance to the playing arena. Shade, seating and access to cold drinks should be available.

For Women’s International T20 Matches and T20 Tour Matches, dugouts are required for two squads of up to 25 players and support staff. At a minimum and where actual dug outs are unavailable, these may be arranged using chairs and CA Commercial partner or unbranded marquees positioned on the side of the field. Any use of commercial logos including series sponsor logos, must be subject to the approval of CA’s commercial and brand team(s).

Dugouts need to be situated in a location as close as possible to the access point to the player’s dressing rooms.

Ideally the dugout for each team will be of equal size and adjacent to each other, although not immediately side-by-side.

It is possible to have two different sized dugouts (for T20 Matches only) particularly if space is limited, the larger one occupied by the team, and the smaller one by the remainder of the squad that is fielding. From a television perspective, perspex structures are preferable.

All structures should be appropriately secured to withstand adverse weather conditions.

Hit Up Nets Net facilities should be available for both teams when required on the morning of the match. Ideally, hit-up Nets are required to be set up on ground 2 hrs prior to play and removed approximately 15min prior to play at all Tier 2 match venues.

On-field hit up nets should be erected for each team on opposite sides of the venue. These nets should be erected at right-angles to the boundary rope enabling them to be used from both sides and preventing players from hitting-up towards the crowd. Ideally, hit-up nets will measure 6m in length (at a minimum) and 2.5m high.

Drainage The requirement of any ground must be to allow as much play as possible even in the event of inclement weather.

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 13

It is desirable that a field of play drainage system is installed so that excess storm water can be removed after heavy rainfall. As a guide, any drainage system should be able to absorb and discharge up to 4 inches (100mm) of rainfall per hour.

A rope or similar and grounds keeping buggy should be available for the removal of excess surface water from the ground.

Grass Signage All grass signage remains the property of Cricket Australia. No grass signage should feature on the ground without the express written permission of Cricket Australia.

Any logos that are to be painted on the outfield(s) are to be positioned as follows:

Behind the stumps – a minimum of 20 metres from the stumps, and are to be no larger than 64m2. The exception for WACA ground is 23 metres from the stumps

Midwicket/cover area – no advertising to be positioned within 30 yards (27.50 metres) of the centre of the pitch being used for the match

For further information, please Appendix 1: Grass Signage Guidelines

Sight Screens The required height of a sight screen will depend on the distance the screen is from the wicket.

Height extremes must be covered. Sight screens should extend in height to cover the release point of all bowlers.

Width extremes must be covered. The screen must provide sighting for a RH batsman facing a LH bowler who is bowling around the wicket, and a LH batsman who is facing a RH bowler who is bowling around the wicket.

As a guide, moveable sight screens that measure a minimum 6m x 6m will usually suffice. The sight screens should be easily moveable from side to side so that width extremes can be covered. This movement should be able to be completed in under 30 seconds at any given time. Fixed sightscreens must cover the extremes of bowler’s delivery points as per the image below. All sightscreen arrangements (fixed or movable) should be checked to ensure that extremes are covered.

Example of how to check the sight screen size requirements and plan solutions:

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 14

Any sight screens must be located at least 4m outside the boundary line and preferably outside the boundary fence.

In the instance of one day or T20 matches being played using a white ball, it will be necessary for the venue to be able to provide black covering for the sight screens. The covering must be taut to avoid movement by wind during the match, and have some perforation to allow air to pass through.

Measures should be taken to minimise the view of the batsman being interrupted, i.e. lights in rooms above the sightscreen, people moving in areas in front of and behind the sightscreen, staircases adjacent to the sightscreen, etc.

Scoreboard The venue is to provide a manual or electronic scoreboard of high quality standard and capable of showing the following detail:

Table 4 Scoreboard requirements by match type FORMAT ESSENTIAL DETAIL PREFFERED DETAIL 50 Over and T20 Matches - Total - Overs Remaining - Wickets - Run Rate - Batter # and Scores - Run rate required - Bowler # - Bowling figures - Total overs bowled - Last wicket - Previous - Duckworth Lewis Stern par score - Fielding restriction overs indicator - compatible (T20 only)

The scoreboard should also be visible at all times from the team viewing area(s).

In the event of an electronic scoreboard failure, a manual scoreboard must be available as a contingency at all Tier 2 matches.

If the scoreboard operating position is situated away from the scorer’s room, the scoreboard operators will need to have a method of communicating with the scorers.

Clock A manual or electronic clock should be visible at all venues. This may be integrated into the scoreboard or vision screen and must be able to be seen from the field of play.

Artificial Lighting All venues will be subject to a venue inspection by Cricket Operations and Broadcast staff. As a guide, typical light readings are in excess of 1800 lux (vertical) in the centre of the ground. See Appendix 4 for Lighting Specifications Cricket – International Level.

FIELD OF PLAY RESOURCING AND EQUIPMENT

Staff

Ground staff One permanent full-time Grounds manager will be required for all match and preparation days, who is capable and experienced in preparing pitches of a First Class standard for all Tier 2 fixtures.

Cricket Australia may appoint a Consultant Curator to work in conjunction with the Head Curator providing pitch and ground preparation recommendations and advice in the lead up to, and during the match.

Sufficient ground staff must be made available to prepare and maintain the pitch (bowlers foot marks at the bowling crease where the front foot lands) and ground to an expert standard in the event of fine or adverse weather conditions.

A sufficient number of trained ground staff to ensure that covers are laid and removed in the shortest possible timeframe, maximising playing time and minimizing the chance that water will affect the playing area in the event of rain must also be on hand.

The total number of staff required will vary from venue to venue and is largely dependent on the local conditions and experience of the staff. As a guide, 6 ground staff are usually sufficient for cover management in inclement weather. This number may vary in windier conditions.

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 17

The venue must ensure that staff are adequately trained to safely operate and maneuver all ground preparation equipment and covers as required. All staff should ensure that appropriate clothing is worn and adherence to OHS standards at all times.

SAFETY AND SECURITY Cricket Australia has strict safety and security controls that are implemented pre, post and during all matches played at major cricket venues in Australia.

For all Tier 2 matches (other than Sheffield Shield round matches) a venue operational security plan must be supplied to the Cricket Australia Anti-Corruption and Security Manager by the host venue in line with Cricket Australia’s Venue Security and Crowd Management Guidelines and the risk identified for the match.

This plan must detail the security overlay, team arrival, departure, team and match official parking arrangements, the number and deployment of security staff (and Police if applicable), an alcohol management strategy (if applicable), an updated emergency evacuation plan (including when this plan has been last tested) and a full contact list of venue, security and Police stakeholders.

This plan must be approved by the Cricket Australia Anti-Corruption and Security Manager. Upon approval of the venue operational security plan the Cricket Australia Anti- Corruption and Security Manager will advise if CA will have a CA Security Manager in attendance.

If there is any change to identified risk, threat or the venue operational security plan the Cricket Australia Anti-Corruption and Security Manager must be notified immediately.

For all Tier 2 matches that are ticketed matches, the venue should be entirely secured by fencing.

The venue should also ensure they have read and understood CA’s Venue Security and Crowd Management Guidelines. To obtain the latest copy of these guidelines, please contact CA or your State Association. Liquor Licensing All venues must operate under the relevant liquor licensing legislation governing the venue. All staff working within the confines of the licensed areas must be well versed in the liquor licensing law and the responsible service of alcohol (“RSA”). Alcohol must only be sold to those persons over 18 years of age. Patrons may be asked to prove their age using forms of identification acceptable in the hospitality industry in each country.

All bars must have set times for the service of alcohol, this MUST include a set closing time before the end of the play, where the service of alcohol ceases. This is aimed at reducing the problems associated with clearing patrons from the venue at the end of play. VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 32

In the General Public areas of venues there will be restrictions on the sale of full strength beer, wine and spirits. Full and mid strength beer may be sold in the Members Area. There must be a limit on the amount of alcoholic drinks that one customer may purchase in one transaction (i.e. two drinks per customer). Further to this the number of alcoholic drink limits served per customer be reduced throughout the period of the days play, i.e. 4- 2-1 at set times after discussion with Liquor Licensing stakeholders. This should clearly be displayed on signage in each bar or liquor outlet.

It is recommended that the CA ACSU Manager*, the Venue Police Commander, Venue Manager and Catering Manager liaise regularly throughout the day’s play with regard to the impact alcohol consumption has had on crowd behaviour and any requirement to reduce drink limits or bars. The reduction on the number of alcoholic drinks served to one customer can be brought forward at any time at the request of the Police Commander or the CA ASCU Manager.

Glass containers or cans MUST NOT be used or sold in public bars/outlets at venues hosting international or domestic cricket.

All venues must provide security personnel and trained Responsible Service of Alcohol (“RSA”) staff at each public bar. Only personnel that have received RSA training can be rostered to perform these duties. These RSA staff must not be staff serving alcohol in the bar. RSA staff will ensure that patrons entering and purchasing alcohol are doing so within the liquor licensing legislation. Any person intoxicated or in breach of the liquor licensing legislation should be removed from the venue.

Responsible Service of Alcohol Plan Each venue must supply the CA ASCU Manager one month before their first International match a “Responsible Service of Alcohol” Plan detailing the RSA methods to be adopted throughout the venue to ensure that patrons are drinking responsibly and not only enjoy their day at the cricket, but not spoil the day for other spectators.

Public All persons entering the venue should be advised of the liquor licensing laws regulating that venue. Signage should be displayed at entrance gates to each venue advising patrons they are entering licensed premises. Signs should state the following: • intoxicated persons will not be permitted entry; • persons in possession of liquor will not be permitted entry; • inspections will be conducted to prevent persons possessing liquor from entering; • intoxicated persons will be removed from the premises; • it is an offence for minors to purchase and/or consume liquor; • it is an offence to purchase liquor for, or supply liquor to, minors; and • person’s supplying liquor to minors will be reported to the police and penalties apply under legislation.

VENUE GUIDELINES FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 2018/19 TIER 2 33

Licensed Premises in Venue Precinct Venue managers will work closely with Police in relation to monitoring licensed premises surrounding the venue before play commences, and following the lunch and tea intervals. Patrons who attend the venue affected by alcohol will not be permitted entry. Properly managed access points will reduce the likelihood of intoxicated persons entering the venue and adding to further poor behaviour once inside. These key areas are very important to the security process and the wellbeing of all patrons. Consideration should be given to ensuring: • general policing of local licensed premises to provide realistic information to the venue commander of patrons departing licensed premises heading to the venue; • access points manned by security and police are maintained well into the second period of play (ODIs only); and • persons overly affected by alcohol are refused entry.

Family or Dry Areas Each venue will have “Family” or “Dry” areas established that allow families and patrons to enjoy an environment in which alcohol is prohibited from being consumed. These areas are patrolled and policed by security and police personnel to ensure these areas remain a “dry area” zone. *Note that some grounds, such as the ‘Gabba, have designated family areas that are also licensed. Conditions of Entry For all venues, Cricket Australia Conditions of Entry will apply. A few critical exerts from these Conditions included: • Prohibition of items that can be carried by spectators into the venue that can be used as missiles and are considered dangerous to players and the public; i.e. firearms, weapons, cans, glass bottles and fireworks • Prohibition of alcohol being brought into the venue by spectators • Prohibition of smoking outside of designated smoking areas • No spectator access to field of play at any time • No access to playing area at any time except during scheduled breaks after the players have left the playing area and provided that the playing area is vacated prior to the players re-appearing and authorised interval entertainment

Regional Umpire Performance Manager: means the individual appointed by the

ICC to provide performance management support to the Umpires from time to time.

ARTICLE 1 INTRODUCTION, SCOPE AND APPLICATION

1.1 The ICC has adopted these Minimum Standards in support of the ICC’s Anti- Corruption Code and the fundamental sporting imperatives which that Code is designed to address. In particular, the Minimum Standards seek to advancing mobile communication technology and increasing sophistication in the methods by which betting takes place on cricket matches, by restricting to the greatest extent possible all methods of communication between Players, Player Support Personnel and Match Officials with all third parties from the moment that they first enter the PMOA on the day of an International Match right through until the formal conclusion of that day’s play. .

1.2 All National Cricket Federations, Players, Player Support Personnel and Match Officials: (a) are automatically bound by and required to comply with all of the provisions of these Minimum Standards; and (b) agree to submit to the authority of the ACU General

Manager (and/or any individual appointed by him/her to act on his/her behalf), to adopt, apply, monitor and enforce these Minimum Standards.

1.3 For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in these Minimum Standards is intended to limit the responsibilities of any National Cricket Federation, Player, Player Support Personnel or Match Official under the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code or any other ICC regulations that may apply from time to time.

1.4 The Minimum Standards shall come into full force and effect on 25 January 2015 and shall replace all previous versions of the Minimum Standards. 1.5 The Minimum Standards shall be applied in full at every International Match (but excluding any International Tour Match) and at any ICC Event or any other Match at which the ICC deems it appropriate that they should apply.

ARTICLE 3 DISPLAY OF ACCREDITATION PASSES INSIDE THE PMOA

3.1 General Principles:

3.1.1 As a general rule, access to the PMOA will be restricted only to those individuals whose presence in that area is absolutely essential for operational purposes. Obviously this would include Players, Match Officials and the ICC Anti-Corruption Manager or other ICC ACU staff, but it also includes certain Player Support Personnel such as members of the team coaching staff, medical and physiotherapy staff, team statistician, kit/baggage man, team liaison officer, team media manager and team security manager. Each team manager is required to certify to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Manager that each Player Support Personnel to whom accreditation is granted has the necessary skills to perform their designated role, for example as physiotherapist or media manager, and that their presence in the PMOA is absolutely essential for operational purposes.

3.1.2 In certain circumstances, temporary ‘visitor’ accreditation may also need to be issued by the ICC Anti-Corruption Manager to any other individuals who may need access to the PMOA from time to time for operational reasons, including, for example, ICC and National Cricket Federation staff and members of the venue’s security, cleaning or catering staff. Such temporary accreditation can only be provided by the ICC Anti-Corruption Manager, who may impose such conditions on the accreditation (including for specific time periods or areas etc) as he/she deems appropriate in the circumstances.

3.1.3 For the avoidance of doubt, and except as described in Article 3.2, below, no individual, irrespective of their identity, job, role or responsibility, will be allowed to enter, or remain within, the PMOA without displaying an official accreditation pass.

3.2 Players, Player Support Personnel and Match Officials:

3.2.1 All Players, Player Support Personnel and Match Officials must display their PMOA accreditation passes prior to their first entry into the PMOA on the day of an International Match.

3.2.2 Once they have complied with Article 3.2.1, all Players, Player Support Personnel and Match Officials do not need to continue to display or carry their PMOA accreditation passes so long as they remain at all times within either the PMOA, the nets or practice area or field of play.

3.3 Temporary ‘visitors’ to the PMOA:

3.3.1 All temporary visitors must display their PMOA temporary ‘visitor’ accreditation

passes whenever they enter or leave the PMOA.

3.3.2 All temporary visitors must carry their PMOA temporary ‘visitor’ accreditation passes at all times whilst they remain within the PMOA.

ARTICLE 4 USE OF COMMUNICATION DEVICES IN THE PMOA

4.1 Subject strictly to the exceptions set out in Article 4.2, the following prohibitions shall apply from the moment that the first Player of any participating team enters the PMOA for an International Match right through until the formal conclusion of the day’s play:

4.1.1 no person shall be allowed to use and/or carry any Mobile Device for any reason whatsoever, whether to access the Internet or otherwise, in the PMOA;

4.1.2 no person shall be allowed to use and/or or carry, any laptop computer (or any other similar communication device) for any reason whatsoever, whether to access the Internet or otherwise, in the PMOA; and

4.1.3 no person shall be allowed to use any static / landline (or similar) telephone capable of making calls from inside or receiving calls from outside the PMOA.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed by the ICC Anti-Corruption Manager in advance, the only exceptions to the above prohibitions are:

4.2.1 each team manager shall be permitted to carry a Mobile Device within the PMOA, provided that it can only be used either: (a) by him/her for cricket operations purposes; and/or (b) by any Player or Player Support Personnel for any important personal matter, provided that the team manager has given his express permission to the Player or Player Support Personnel before such use;

4.2.2 each team media manager shall be permitted to carry a Mobile Device within the PMOA but any such device must be turned onto silent mode at all times whilst such individual is in the PMOA and must not be used for any purpose inside the PMOA; 4.2.3 each team security manager shall be permitted to carry a Mobile Device within the PMOA but any such device must be turned onto silent mode at all times whilst such individual is in the PMOA and must not be used for any purpose, either inside or outside the PMOA at the venue, other than in the case of a security emergency;

4.2.4 each Match Referee shall be permitted to carry all of the Mobile Devices that may have been collected from each Umpire (including any third or other Umpire) and Regional Umpire Performance Manager as part of any protocol implemented by a Match Referee pursuant to Article 2.3.4, above;

GUIDANCE NOTE: For the avoidance of doubt, any team manager who uses his laptop computer (or any other similar communication device) other than for cricket operations purposes of a logistical or administrative nature (for example, for personal use) shall automatically be in breach of Article 4.2.5. As a permitted exception to this prohibition, the team manager may, at any time during an International Match, receive, access and disseminate to relevant Players and Player Support Personnel, information of an analytical nature that has been developed outside of the PMOA (whether within the venue or further afield) and which relates exclusively to the performance of any individual Player or team participating in the relevant International Match in question, provided at all times that: (a) such information can only be disseminated to relevant Players and Player Support Personnel by the team manager via a ‘pen-drive’ or other means of transferring data other than via the Internet; (b) no Player or Player Support Personnel shall be entitled to use or access such information directly on the team manager’s laptop (or any other similar communication device); (c) such information must be received only from an individual whose identity has been pre-approved by, and whose full contact details have been provided to, the ICC’s Anti- Corruption Manager in advance; and (d) all communication exchanges between the team manager and any such identified third party in relation to such matters must be copied contemporaneously and in full to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Manager (if such exchanges take place over the Internet) or witnessed first-hand by the ICC’s Anti- Corruption Manager (if such information is transmitted manually).

It is acknowledged and agreed that the safeguards described in this guidance note are of particular importance in upholding the underlying principles of the PMOA and that, since the analytical information that this note contemplates be exchanged in ‘live’ game situations is information that could easily be exploited for corrupt purposes, any failure

4.2.5 each team manager shall be permitted to carry and use a laptop computer (or

any other similar communication device), whether to access the Internet or

otherwise, within the PMOA, provided that it is used only by him/her and only

for cricket operations purposes of a logistical or administrative nature related

to any International Match or series of International Matches;

4.2.6 a further seven other Player Support Personnel per team, whose identity must be approved in advance by the ICC Anti-Corruption Manager, shall be permitted to carry and use a laptop computer (or any other similar communication device) within the PMOA, provided that: (a) it is used only by the identified individual and only for cricket operations purposes; (b) it may not be used to access the Internet at any time until the final ball in the day’s play has been delivered; and (c) the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Manager shall have absolute discretion to direct that the laptop computer (or any other

similar communication device) be used only in a specific area or location within the PMOA.

GUIDANCE NOTE: Nothing in Articles 4.2.5 or 4.2.6 shall prevent a Player or Player Support Personnel being able to view the screen of a laptop computer that is being used by the team manager or other permitted Player Support Personnel, provided that his/her viewing of the laptop: (a) is carried out at all times in the company of the team manager or other permitted Player Support Personnel; and (b) is for cricket operations purposes only

4.2.7 the team doctor (or team physiotherapist in circumstances where there is no team doctor) shall be permitted to carry and use one Mobile Device and one laptop computer (or other similar device), whether to access the Internet or otherwise, within the PMOA, provided that either device will only be used in the case of a genuine medical emergency and must not be used for any other purpose. Any such Mobile Device must be turned onto silent mode at all times whilst such individual is in the PMOA. Any such laptop computer (or other similar device) carried by the team doctor (or physiotherapist, where applicable) must be password protected and password locked when not in use, with the password known only to the team doctor (or physiotherapist, where applicable);

GUIDANCE NOTE: For the avoidance of doubt, any team doctor (or team physiotherapist as applicable) who uses a Mobile Device and/or laptop computer (or any other similar communication device) other than in the case of a genuine medical emergency (for example, for personal use) shall automatically be in breach of Article 4.2.7. The team doctor (or physiotherapist, as applicable) shall provide the telephone number of any Mobile Device used by him/her in the PMOA to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Manager at the start of the match.

The team doctor (or physiotherapist, as applicable) shall allow the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Manager access to the Mobile Device and/or laptop computer used by him/her in the PMOA at any time during the match upon the request of the Anti-Corruption Manager to enable the Anti-Corruption Manager to review the history of any communications made on such device during the match.

Appendix 6: Australian Cricket Match Day Risk and Safety Checklist

Australian Cricket Match Day Risk & Safety Checklist For use at Tier 2-3-4 matches Guidance This checklist is a basic pre-game or pre-training inspection tool that helps to identify safety concerns and record your actions to manage them. It considers factors such as the weather, venue infrastructure (permanent and temporary), fire safety, traffic management, the field of play, sightscreens and broadcast positions. This checklist is designed for use at Tier 2-3-4 matches.

TIER 1 TIER 2 TIER 3 TIER 4 International Cricket WOMEN’s INTERNATIONAL SERIES Women’s Official Cricket Australia Underage Council (ICC) fixtures International Emerging National Championships Series A Series and Official Women’s National Cricket International Tour Matches League Domestic One-Day Cup Futures League Sheffield Shield International Underage Competitions and Tours

Duty of Care Match/tournament organisers such as Cricket Australia or the State/Territory Cricket Associations owe a duty of care to players, spectators, staff and volunteers to provide a safe environment for the match to occur. As well as helping to identify hazards which can then be managed as necessary, performing the checks included in this checklist puts the match/tournament organiser in a strong position to demonstrate that it has satisfied its duty of care. Should an incident occur and a claim be made against the match/tournament organiser, this completed checklist may also assist in the defence of the claim and any associated legal action.

When should the checklist be completed? The checklist should be completed before the commencement of any cricket activity for the day’s play. This means prior to any players taking the field for warm-up, and certainly well before play commences. It can also be used prior to training sessions. If conditions change during a match, the checklist should be reviewed again and further action taken if necessary.

How should the checklist be completed? Australian Cricket uses the iAuditor smartphone app and web-based checklist service to complete the Matchday Risk & Safety Checklist. CA and STCA employees are provided with a dedicated subscription to the service, while casual/contracted match/tournament organisers are provided with a generic CA email address by which they can access iAuditor. The checklist is accessible in the “Templates” section of the app.

The smartphone app may be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

If the match/tournament organiser does not have access to a smartphone, this paper copy can be used instead.

Completed checklists Completed checklists are referred to as “Audits” by iAuditor, and will be automatically saved inside iAuditor once the user selects “Mark as Complete” at the end of the checklist. This allows CA’s Tournament Operations team to monitor completion rates of checklists and analyse any emerging trends from identified issues. For further information on using iAuditor or the checklist, in the first instance please contact CA’s Tournament Operations team. If they are unavailable, please contact Ash Hepburn in CA’s Risk team ([email protected]). Completed and signed paper checklists are to be emailed to Jason Inglis at CA ([email protected]).
