Official Rule Book Preface Kanhiya Gurjar was born in a farmers family in Mathura on Janmashtami in the birth place of Lord Krishna. He had lost his father in childhood and was brought up by his mother. His mother herself encouraged him to excel in sports when she saw his interest in it. He made sports his aim in life. Later he got a service in SSB through sports quota. The spirit for service to the nation and passion of sports was in his obsession. Thorough encouragement of mother and his hardworking kept glowing up his personality. He earned a fame tremendously in sports without any re- sources and worked as a caption also of the Indian team. He accomplished many tasks in 2002 to increase sports and in 2012 gave origin to tennis cricket. Presently he is working in SGFI. The game of Tennis Cricket was being played across the world with virtually no set of rules and regulations or by bending and adapting those that are set in ICC Code of Laws for Cricket. Although most of the laws in the Code are directly and practically applicable to Tennis Cricket, not all withstand the test of time. We are happy to present this book to all those who wish to know about Tennis Cricket. Kanhiya Gurjar Founder Secretary, ITCF I T C F 2 3 INDEX S.

Tennis Cricket is very popular in South-Asian cricket playing coun- tries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri- Lanka. It is also played by South-Asian expatriates living in Middle-Eastern countries such as the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and by emi- grants in the United States, Australia and Canada.

  • PCB Men's T20 Matches Playing Conditions for Domestic
    PCB Men’s T20 Matches Playing Conditions For Domestic Tournaments 2020/21 (Incorporating the 2017 Code of the MCC Laws of Cricket - 2ndEdition 2019) Effective 3oth September 2020 These Playing conditions shall be read with the PCB Almanac 2019-20 and will apply to all PCB Domestic tournaments with the exclusion of HBL PSL. All matches will be played under the Laws of Cricket 2017 Code (2nd Edition – 2019) and ICC Standard Playing Conditions as adopted hereunder. These Playing Conditions will operate based on the underlying principle that the PCB organized Domestic Tournaments will take precedence over any privately organized league(s) or competition(s). Preamble - The Spirit of Cricket Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws (which are incorporated within these Playing Conditions), but also within the Spirit of Cricket. The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, match officials and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents. Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket. Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the umpires. Play hard and play fair. Accept the umpire‟s decision. Create a positive atmosphere by your own conduct, and encourage others to do likewise. Show self-discipline, even when things go against you. Congratulate the opposition on their successes, and enjoy those of your own team. Thank the officials and your opposition at the end of the match, whatever the result. Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship and teamwork, which brings together people from different nationalities, cultures and religions, especially when played within the Spirit of Cricket.
