DISCIPLINARY OFFENCES – ALL PLAYERS TO NOTE

Where the Umpires decide that the Code of Conduct has been broken, or an act of unfair play has taken place, but do not consider the matter serious enough to warrant a full disciplinary hearing under the England & Wales Cricket Board’s Disciplinary Model Rules, they will together informally warn the player in the presence of his Captain.

If there is a repetition of unacceptable behaviour in that match by the same player, the Umpires will issue a formal warning to the player in the presence of his Captain and advise them that a Formal Warning has been issued. The Formal Warning will be recorded on the Result Sheet (and the Fair Play sheet), giving the player’s name and the offence committed, and be signed by the Umpires and the Player’s Captain.

In more serious cases, but when the misconduct is still considered to be minor, the Umpires may issue a formal warning without having previously issued an informal warning. A player receiving a total of two formal warnings during any 12 calendar month period will automatically have his case referred for disciplinary action.

The Southern Premier Cricket League wishes once again to remind all players, clubs and the captains on the field of play of their responsibilities to conduct themselves in a proper manner at all times. The Spirit of Cricket can be found in any copy of the Laws of Cricket.

20 YEAR BOOK 2021 Chairman’s Welcome General

The thought of being able to provide a full cricket season in 2021 has been the perfect lift for everyone involved in our wonderful game all around the country. As we come out of a third national lockdown, memories of the curtailed season we managed to enjoy last year seems to be such a distant memory. That gives us all the more reason to remember what a wonderful time we had and how so very proud I am of all of the team within the SPCL Management Committee for being able to enable a meaningful and enjoyable format for our member clubs. I have always considered myself lucky to be leading such a dedicated and capable group of people, but never have I been as proud of the committee as I was in 2020. Thank you to all of you who took the time at the end of last year to thank the team for their efforts – it really was appreciated! I know that across all of our clubs there were many hours of hard work that was put in to get grounds ready with limited preparation time together with the extra cost and burden that the COVID protocols created. It is also important not to forget all of the people whose lives have been significantly impacted by the pandemic. With increasing economic pressure and lives lost, the importance of the wider cricket family has never been more important. In memory of all those who have been lost since the start of the pandemic, our grounds, players and officials will pause just before the start of play on the first game of the season as we observe a minute’s silence. Members of the league accreditation working party have been working hard during the winter following our consultation exercise to build some proposals for how the scheme might look in the future. Thank you to the captains, chairman and umpires who have recently taken part in some focus groups to feed into this. During the course of this season, we will be conducting some pilots for a new ground and umpire form system as well as the long-awaited Duckworth-Lewis pilot in the premier division. I am delighted to have welcomed back Darren Vann at the AGM, who has re-joined the committee as our Vice Chairman. Darren’s experience and passion for the game will add to our depth of leadership as we continue to ensure our committee represents the people we serve. The ECB have asked all premier leagues to develop a clear policy to increase diversity within committees. We would be keen to hear from anyone from unrepresented groups who feel they could contribute to our team. Being in lockdown and having our lives changed beyond recognition has shown how important both our rivalries, spectators, officials and clubs are in making this such a wonderful community, allowing us to create the memories that we have. It should never be taken for granted. I am under no illusion that the shock of being locked down in March last year and the removal of promotion and relegation contributed to a near perfect disciplinary record last year, but I would ask that we all remember how it important it is to retain the spirit of cricket at all times. I look forward to seeing you around the circuit during 2021. Stay safe, keep smiling and bring on the cricket! Steve Vear MBE League Chairman

YEAR BOOK 2021 39 Young Cricketer Award 2019 – Bradley Currie Season 2019

Bradley Currie of Bashley (Rydal) CC has won the 2019 Young Cricketer of the Year award. Bradley took 42 wickets, average a remarkable 10.43, with 2 six wicket hauls and best bowling of 6-14, finishing second in the wickets list for the Premier Division, and made a considerable contribution to Bashley (Rydal)’s first SPCL title. A special mention goes to Bradley’s teammate George Pardoe, who finished fifth in the bowling list with 31 wickets, and added 295 runs with the bat, thus causing the Management Committee some difficulty to come to a decision!

If there is a repetition of unacceptable behaviour in that match by the same player, the Umpires will issue a formal warning to the player in the presence of his Captain and advise them that a Formal Warning has been issued. The Formal Warning will be recorded on the Result Sheet (and the Fair Play sheet), giving the player’s name and the offence committed, and be signed by the Umpires and the Player’s Captain. In more serious cases, but when the misconduct is still considered to be minor, the Umpires may issue a formal warning without having previously issued an informal warning. A player receiving a total of two formal warnings during any 12 calendar month period will automatically have his case referred for disciplinary action. The Southern Premier Cricket League wishes once again to remind all players, clubs and the captains on the field of play of their responsibilities to conduct themselves in a proper manner at all times. The Spirit of Cricket can be found in any copy of the Laws of Cricket.

YEAR BOOK 2021 101 B: ADMINISTRATIVE RULES 1 LEAGUE POSITIONS 1.1 League positions will be based on the average number of points obtained by a team in completed matches. In all divisions, no points will be awarded to either team in a match which has been abandoned.

Administrative Rules Administrative 1.2 In the event of two or more teams having the same points average at the conclusion of the League programme, the higher position in the League shall be determined by the following criteria, in order, as necessary: 1.2.1 the team winning the greater number of matches. 1.2.2 the team with the greater number of ties. 1.2.3 the team with the greater number of runs per over. 1.3 Averages shall be calculated to the precision necessary. 1.4 Subject to the Premier Division including both Overs and Time match types within its composition, there shall be two pennant tables maintained, each of which includes only Overs and Time matches respectively. A team’s position within these pennant tables will be determined as per Clauses 1.2 and 1.3 above. For the 2021 season, despite all matches being of Limited Overs format, there shall nevertheless be separate pennant tables maintained, for white ball and red ball matches respectively.

2 PROMOTION & RELEGATION 2.1 Between the Premier Division and Division 1: The bottom team from the Premier Division shall be relegated to Division 1 and be replaced by the top team of that division, subject to that team holding a current overall accreditation grading of at least Silver with Gold potential. 2.2 Between Divisions 1 & 2: The bottom two teams from Division 1 shall be relegated to Division 2 and be replaced by the top two teams of that division, subject to those teams holding a current overall accreditation grading of at least Bronze with Silver potential. 2.3 Between Division 2 & 3: The bottom two teams from Division 2 shall be relegated to Division 3 and be replaced by the top two teams from Division 3. 2.4 Between Division 3 and the Hampshire Cricket League: The bottom two teams in Division 3 shall be relegated to Hampshire Cricket League County Division 1 and be replaced by the top two teams in that division, subject to those teams holding a current overall accreditation grading of at least Bronze standard. 2.5 In the event of termination of a club’s membership of the League in accordance with Article 4 of the Constitution, the number of relegated clubs may be reduced by a decision of the Annual General Meeting. 2.6 In the event of a promoted team not being eligible for membership of a Division, the Committee shall have sole jurisdiction over whether to accept the next eligible club from the division concerned or from the Hampshire Cricket League. Note: The Management Committee’s policy will generally be as follows: If the top team in Division 1 is not graded at least Silver with Gold potential, the second placed team (if accredited) will be promoted to the Premier Division instead. If neither of the top two is so accredited, there will be no relegation or promotion. If either of the top two teams in Division 2 is not graded at least Bronze with Silver potential, the third placed team (if accredited) will be promoted to Division 1 instead. If neither of the top two is

102 YEAR BOOK 2021 Administrative Rules

so accredited, only the third placed team (if accredited) will be promoted, with one team relegated. If none of the top three is so accredited, there will be no relegation or promotion. Promotion and relegation between Divisions 2 and 3 shall be achieved simply by those occupying the two top and bottom positions. If either of the top two teams in HCL County Division 1 is not graded at least Bronze, the third placed team (if accredited) will be promoted to Division 3 instead. If neither of the top two is so accredited, only the third placed team (if accredited) will be promoted, with one team relegated. If none of the top three is so accredited, there will be no relegation or promotion. No more than two teams in the Premier Division and three in Division 1, 2 and 3, will be relegated as a result of their League position or accreditation grading (see Rule 9.2). Promotion and relegation in any other circumstances will be at the discretion of the Management Committee, whose decision will be final. 2.7 No club may have more than one team in a division. If necessary, to enforce this rule, the team of lower standing will be refused promotion, or relegated as necessary. 2.8 The accreditation grading referred to above shall be that which is current at the time of the General Meeting at which the promotion or relegation is approved. 2.9 Should a vacancy occur in any of the three Leagues, a team from a neighbouring League may be considered for entry into the Southern Premier League, subject to the approval of an AGM or EGM called in accordance with Clauses 5 and 6 of the Constitution. The level of entry of such a team shall be recommended by the League Management Committee, but shall be no higher than the Division in which the vacancy occurs.

Should it be subsequent found that any player registered was not free to register the player shall be assumed to have played illegally and the points deduction in Clause 4.1.4 above shall be enforced. The form can be faxed, ‘scanned & E-mailed’, or hand delivered. 4.3.4 All Clubs will be required to use Play Cricket for on-line player registration as directed by the Management Committee. Note 1. Clubs are able to download complete lists of registered players via Play Cricket and are encouraged to do so. Note 2. Clubs should regularly check to ensure that their player database at club level is clean and accurate. 4.4 Players from Overseas 4.4.1 A foreign national (a cricketer who is not qualified to play for England under the current ECB Regulations or who has not ordinarily been a resident* within England, Wales, the Channel Isles or the Isle of Man (see Clause 4.3.1), may play for a member club, but must be registered as a Category 3 player. Note: Players from Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are considered Overseas Players under this regulation. 4.4.2 Clubs may register only one overseas player during the season. Such a player shall have previously attained a Certified Coaching Certificate from his country of origin or a UKCC2 coaching qualification (unless his VISA forbids the player from taking part in any form of coaching either paid or unpaid) and have evidence of a current and relevant Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check or equivalent. Should the coaching certificate from his country not be accepted by the ECB as equivalent to the UKCC2, he may coach only with supervision of a suitably qualified coach. The currency question regarding a DBS or equivalent check is for the Club to prove. It is usual for the Registration Secretary to receive a document that describes DBS clearance or its equivalent, as being authorised within the preceding three months. Proof of the player’s coaching qualification certificate and DBS check or equivalent, along with a scanned copy of the player’s visa or passport and a signed “ECB non-ordinarily resident player registration form”, must be lodged with the Registration Secretary. All necessary documentation must be provided prior to the player’s electronic registration application being made via the Play-Cricket website.

11 REFRESHMENTS 11.1 The Home side shall provide lunches and teas (as appropriate) without cost to the visiting side.

YEAR BOOK 2021 109 C: RULES OF PLAY Time Games – Premier Division only This section shall not apply during the 2021 season; all Premier Division matches shall use the Limited Overs format described in Section D. 1 LAWS 1.1 Except as otherwise provided for hereinafter, the Marylebone Cricket Club code of the Laws of Cricket (2017 Code, 2nd Edition), together with any subsequent amendments, shall apply in all matches.

2 DURATION 2.1 All matches shall be played on the day designated by the Management Committee 2.2 In a full day’s play a minimum of 120 overs shall be bowled (see Note to 3.1). No overs shall be deducted for a change of innings 2.3 The minimum over rate to be achieved by both teams is 17 overs an hour (for penalties, see 13.4). Time Games 2.4 The side batting first shall not bat for more than 64 overs in a minimum 120 over game. Note If the first innings ends during an over, that over shall not count as one of the minimum 120 overs to be bowled in the day. Delayed starts and interruptions 2.5 In the event of the start being delayed or time being lost after the scheduled start of the match due to inclement weather or other cause, the minimum number of overs to be played in the day shall be reduced by one for every full 3.5 minutes lost. 2.6 The side batting first shall not bat for more than the number of overs available multiplied by 64 and divided by 120. The result of this calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest over, e.g. for a minimum 114 overs match: First innings overs = 114 x 64 ÷ 120 = 60.8, therefore maximum = 60 overs. Loss of two hours or more playing time 2.7 Should the match be delayed or interrupted for a total of 2 hours of playing time or more, but there is time for a minimum of 50 overs to be bowled, a new straight win/loss Limited Over Match shall be played. The Umpires shall calculate the remaining overs to be played at 3.5 minutes per over of the time remaining from the anticipated start of the new match and 7.00pm, reduced by 20 minutes for tea between innings and 10 minutes for two drinks intervals, one per innings. The drinks and tea intervals may be forfeited subject to the agreement of both Captains. If this agreement is made, 10 minutes shall be allowed between innings. The number of overs left to the nearest even number shall be shared equally between both sides and the following shall apply: 2.7.1 A new toss shall take place 2.7.2 The Captain of the fielding side shall have the choice of two new (red) balls. The home team shall supply a second new ball as required. Each innings will be played with one new (red) ball. 2.7.3 The players originally named shall play - there will be no change of players. 2.7.4 Limited Over Clauses 7.1 & 7.2 including Power Plays shall apply throughout, and the interpretation of the Wide Ball and the bowling of fast short-pitched balls shall apply as in the Rules of Play for Limited Over Cricket. Note: This Clause will require the 30 yard circle (Diagram 1) and additional off side wide guideline (Diagram 2) being set up prior to the start of all Time Games.

110 YEAR BOOK 2021 2.7.5a Each bowler will be limited to delivering 25% of the total overs available in the innings. This should be rounded down to the nearest whole number, if necessary. 2.7.5b In the event of a reduction of overs after the commencement of the new match, the maximum number of overs allowed per bowler shall remain as at the start of the new match 2.7.6 Should time be lost due to inclement weather or other cause after the commencement of the Limited Over game, then the number of overs to be played shall be reduced by one over for every full 3.5 minutes lost. Limited Overs regulation Clause 2.6 (ignoring first 30 minutes of stoppage time) shall not apply. The team batting first shall complete its initial allotted number of overs and the number of overs received by the team batting second shall be reduced. Should this result in less than 25 overs being available to the side batting second, the game shall be abandoned. 2.7.7 The Umpires shall be the sole judges of the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play. 2.7.8 The tea interval shall be taken between innings. Time Games 2.7.9 Declarations are not permitted. 2.7.10 RESULT - This shall be as section 12 within the Rules of play for Limited Overs Cricket. The points from this reduced match will contribute to the Time Pennant (see Admin Rule 1.4) i.e. the match does not change between the two pennant tables because of the time reduction and change of match type.

3 HOURS OF PLAY AND INTERVALS 3.1 Scheduled hours of play shall be 11.00am - 7.00pm (or until the allotted overs are completed, whichever be the later). Note: Laws 12.6 and 12.7 (Last Hour) shall not apply. However, if at 6.00pm 16 overs or less remain to be bowled, the Umpires shall indicate that play shall continue until a minimum of a further 17 overs have been bowled or until 7.00pm, whichever is the later, provided a result has not been reached before. 3.2 Lunch - 1.15pm-1.45pm Note: Law 11.5 (Luncheon Interval) will apply, except that, where an innings concludes or there is a break in play within 10 minutes of the scheduled lunch interval, the interval will commence at that time and play will recommence 30 minutes after leaving the field. 3.3 Tea - 4.20pm-4.40pm Note: Laws 11.4, 11.6 and 11.7 and 11.9 (Intervals) shall apply. 3.4 Drinks Interval. Law 11.8.4 (c) (No drinks interval in the last hour) shall apply. 3.5 Should the game be reduced so that a Limited Over match is played (see 2.7), the tea interval of 20 minutes shall be taken between innings. 3.6 In a ‘Time Game’ only following an interruption, the game shall be abandoned, with the agreement of both Captains, if the team batting second will not have the opportunity of batting for at least 25 overs, unless they have previously scored more runs than the team batting first or have been bowled out. However, should either Captain wish to play the remaining overs, the match shall continue until the number of overs remaining have been bowled, or 7.00pm, whichever is the later, unless a result is obtained before. The decision to continue shall only be reconsidered should weather or light intervene. Umpires shall be the sole judge of weather, light and ground conditions. The game shall be considered abandoned only if the overs remaining could not be completed due to weather, light or ground conditions.

4 UMPIRES AND CAPTAINS 4.1 Umpires shall be appointed in accordance with arrangements approved by the Management Committee. They shall report to the ground 45 minutes prior to the start of play at the latest. 4.2 Before the toss for innings, the Captains shall nominate their players, using the team sheet, who may

YEAR BOOK 2021 111 not thereafter be changed without the consent of the opposing Captain. 4.3 The current ECB Fast Bowling Directives will apply to all matches. Captains, Team Managers and Umpires shall be responsible for ensuring that the Directives are followed. The Captain of each side shall inform the Umpires, prior to the commencement of the match, of the names and relevant age group of any player under the age of 19 on 31st August of the previous year. 4.4 For the purposes of the Directives, the Luncheon Interval of 30 minutes shall be considered to be 40 minutes 4.5 The current ECB guidance on the wearing of helmets by players up to the age of 18 shall be followed. 5 THE BALL 5.1 All matches shall be played with identical new cricket balls nominated and supplied to the Member Clubs by the League, with two new balls being used in each match and with one new ball being taken at the start of each innings. Each Club shall provide a ball with which they will field. 6 COVERS 6.1 The whole pitch shall be fully covered as required to keep the pitch, and as far as possible bowlers’ run-ups, dry both during the match and in the preceding days, as appropriate. Time Games 7 DECLARATIONS 7.1 The batting side may declare at any time, except in a Limited Over game (see 2.7.9). 8 WIDE BALL 8.1 Law 22 (Wide Ball) shall apply, except that the “one day wide” interpretation (see Rules of Play for Limited Over Cricket) shall be used for bowlers whom Umpires consider to be bowling down the leg side as a negative tactic. The Umpires shall notify the bowler and the fielding Captain of his intention to invoke the “one day wide”. 9 BOWLING FAST SHORT PITCHED BALLS (BOUNCERS) OR UNFAIR NON-PITCHING BALLS (BEAMERS). 9.1 In addition to Law 41.6 (Bowling of Dangerous and Unfair Short Pitched Deliveries) the following shall apply: 9.1.1 A bowler shall be limited to two fast, short pitched balls per over (the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall make it clear to both the bowler and the batsman when a short pitched ball has been bowled). 9.1.2 A fast, short pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder of the batsman standing upright at the crease. This ruling shall apply even though the striker has made contact with the ball with his bat, person, or equipment. Note: A ball passing above head height being called No Ball by the Umpire, Law 21.10, shall count as ‘one for the over’ in the context of this regulation. (Law 41.6.1 and 41.6.2 shall also apply, in full). 9.1.3 If this limit is exceeded the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall call and signal ‘No Ball’ on each occasion. If a bowler exceeds his limit of short-pitched deliveries in an over, not only must the Umpire call “No Ball” but he must invoke the procedures of caution, final warning and reporting as set out in Law 41.6.3, 41.6.4 and 41.6.5. 9.2 When applying the Law for dealing with unfair non-pitching deliveries, the Law applies at all times. Although the ball might pass so high or so wide of the striker that it would not constitute an apparent risk to the safety of the striker, any delivery which passes within the limits of the return crease is to be deemed as dangerous and the appropriate action taken. 10 OVERS PER BOWLER 10.1 In addition to compliance with the ECB Fast Bowling Directives (see 4.3) no bowler shall bowl more than 18 overs in any innings. In the event of a bowler starting but being unable to complete an over,

112 YEAR BOOK 2021 another eligible bowler will bowl the remainder of the over provided the replacement bowler does not exceed the number of overs permitted. This part over shall count as a whole over against the allocation of both the replacement and injured bowler.

11 METHODS OF DISMISSAL (TIME CRICKET) 11.1 All methods of dismissal, as per Marylebone Cricket Club code of the Laws of Cricket, shall apply in full except for Law 41.16 whereby the bowler must warn the non-striker in the first instance (umpire to be made aware). Please note, this will be a “team warning” so one warning only is required.

12 RESULT - TIME GAME 12.1 Law 16 shall apply.

13 POINTS - TIME GAME Time Games 13.1 Result Win 15 points Tie 8 points Loss 0 points Draw (team with higher run / rate) 8 points Draw (team with lower run / rate) 3 points The run rate shall be calculated for each team by dividing the number of runs scored by the number of overs received, any incomplete over being treated as the relevant fraction of an over (excluding any wides or no balls) calculated to two decimal points. NB; 1 ball = 0.17; 2 = 0.33; 3 = 0.50; 4 = 0.67; 5 = 0.83. If the team batting first is bowled out the run rate for that team shall be calculated by dividing the number of runs scored by 50% of the total number of overs scheduled for the match at the end of the innings of the team batting first, (i.e. for a 120 over game, divide by 60 overs), or the number of overs actually received, whichever is the greater. The run rate of the team batting second shall be the runs scored divided by the number of overs received including any relevant fractions as noted above. In a drawn match, if the run rates are level to 2 decimal places, then both sides shall be awarded 8 points, and bonus points earned shall be retained. 13.2 Bonus points shall be awarded as follows: 13.2.1 Bowling 2 - 3 wickets taken 1 points 4 - 5 wickets taken 2 points 6 - 7 wickets taken 3 points 8 - 9 wickets taken 4 points 10 wickets taken 5 points Note i) Should the batting side play with less than eleven players due to either a player or players being absent, or leaving the field through illness, injury or other cause so that his/their innings cannot be completed and the remainder of the side are dismissed before the last ball of the innings, then the batting side shall be considered ‘all out’ and the bowling side shall receive maximum bowling points. Note ii) See Law 25.4.2 (a) (Batsman leaving the field) “Retired - Not Out” 13.2.2 Batting 150 - 174 runs scored 1 points 175 - 199 runs scored 2 points

YEAR BOOK 2021 113 200 - 224 runs scored 3 points 225 - 249 runs scored 4 points 250 or more runs scored 5 points For the team batting first, batting bonus points are only available in the first 60 overs of their innings. 13.2.3 The team batting second and winning will receive the following additional batting points (up to a maximum combined total of 5 batting points): Winning by 9 or 10 wickets 5 points Winning by 7 or 8 wickets 4 points Winning by 5 or 6 wickets 3 points Winning by 3 or 4 wickets 2 points Winning by 1 or 2 wickets 1 points 13.3 The maximum points a team can be awarded in any match shall be 25 Points. 13.4 In an innings lasting 34 overs or more, the minimum over rate to be achieved by either side shall be 17 overs per hour. The following penalty point deduction shall apply if this is not achieved:

Time Games Fewer than 17 and at least 16 overs per hour 1 penalty point Fewer than 16 and at least 15 overs per hour 2 penalty points Fewer than 15 and at least 14 overs per hour 4 penalty points Fewer than 14 overs per hour 6 penalty points 13.4.1 The Umpires shall consider any time allowance to the fielding side for lost ball, injuries, obvious time wasting by the batting side or other reasonable cause and shall confirm this to the fielding Captain and the batsman at the wicket at the time of delay. 5 minutes shall be allowed for each drinks interval, plus 1.5 minutes for each wicket that falls in an innings. Time allowance will not be subject to retrospective negotiation. The Umpires shall notify both scorers of any points to be deducted and the Umpires decision shall be final. The points shall be deducted from the total points awarded. The maximum prior to deduction shall be 25 (see section 12.3).

14 RESULT AND POINTS - LIMITED OVER GAME (SEE 2.7, 2.7.10) 14.1 The result and points awarded shall be as in the Rules of Play for Limited Over Cricket. These match points will remain as contributing to the Time pennant table.

2 DURATION (++ indicates specific regulations for the 2021 season) 2.1 ++ All matches shall be played on the day designated by the Management Committee and commence at 11.30am. 2.2 ++ There will be a 30-minute interval between innings. During the 2021 season, teas shall be provided by the home team only if permitted by the Covid regulations in place on the day of the match. 2.3 Each match shall consist of a maximum of 50 overs per innings save where time is lost after the scheduled commencement due to inclement weather or other unavoidable cause, when the number of overs shall be reduced as hereinafter provided. 2.4 Unless bowled out earlier, the team batting first shall bat for the full number of overs allotted prior to the commencement of the match; declarations are not permitted. Should the side batting first be dismissed before the overs to which it is entitled have been bowled, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for the original innings length or as reduced due to inclement weather or other cause. 2.5 Should the match start later than the scheduled commencement time due to inclement weather or other cause, the Umpires shall reduce the number of overs per team by one over for every completed Division Limited Overs Premier 7 minutes of time lost. However, see also Clause 2.6 below. 2.6 When calculating the overs lost the Umpires shall ignore the first 30 minutes of stoppage time. 2.7.1 In the event of time being lost after the commencement of the match due to inclement weather or other cause during the innings of the team batting first, then the team batting first will receive the original allocation of overs or as reduced prior to the start of the match. 2.7.2 The team batting second will then have their maximum number of overs reduced by one over for each completed 3.5 minutes of play lost during the first innings or prior to the commencement of the second innings. 2.7.3 Should there be more than one interruption to play during the first innings, the times lost shall be aggregated and a single calculation performed to determine the overs lost to the team batting second prior to the commencement of their innings. 2.7.4 However, should the team batting first be bowled out in less than their allotted overs, then the number of overs lost due to inclement weather or other causes shall be reduced by the number of full overs not used by the team batting first. This adjustment shall take place before the application of Rule 12.3 (Result) below. The number of overs the team batting second receives shall not be more than their allocation at the start of the match. 2.8 Should time be lost due to inclement weather or other cause during the innings of the team batting second, then the number of overs which that team would have been entitled to receive shall be reduced by one over for each completed 3.5 minutes of playing time lost. Should there be more than one interruption to play the calculation for each interruption shall be considered separately 2.9 Drinks intervals shall be agreed between both Captains and both Umpires prior to the start of the match. This time will not count as time lost. 2.10 Should the loss of time result in fewer than 25 overs being available to the team batting second, the game shall be abandoned. 2.11 The Umpires shall be the sole judges of the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play, once both Umpires are at the ground. Prior to that, a game can be cancelled by an accredited SPCL Umpire sent to inspect the ground.

YEAR BOOK 2021 115 3 UMPIRES AND CAPTAINS 3.1 Umpires shall be appointed in accordance with arrangements approved by the Management Committee. They shall report to the ground 45 minutes prior to the start of play at the latest. 3.2 Before the toss for innings the Captains shall nominate their players, using the team sheet, who may not thereafter be changed without the consent of the opposing Captain. 3.3 The current ECB Fast Bowling Directives will apply to all matches. Captains, team managers and Umpires shall be responsible for ensuring the Directives are followed. The Captain of each side shall inform the Umpires, prior to the commencement of the match, of the names and relevant age group of any player under the age of 19 on 31st August of the previous year. 3.4 The current ECB guidance on the wearing of helmets by players up to the age of 18 shall be followed.

4 THE BALL 4.1 All matches shall be played with identical new cricket balls nominated and supplied to the Member Clubs by the League, with two new balls being used in each match and with one new ball being taken at the start of each innings. Each Club shall provide a ball with which they will field. In the Premier Division only, white balls supplied by the League shall be used.

5 COVERS 5.1 PREMIER AND DIVISION 1 - The whole pitch shall be fully covered as required to keep the pitch, and as far as possible bowlers’ run ups, dry both during the match and in the preceding days as appropriate. 5.2 DIVISION 2 & 3 - Where covers are available, the whole pitch shall be fully covered as required to keep the pitch, and as far as possible bowlers run ups, dry both during the match and in preceding days as appropriate.

6 NUMBER OF OVERS PER BOWLER 6.1 No bowler may bowl more than 10 overs in an innings. In a match where the start has been delayed and the innings of both teams are reduced prior to the commencement of the match to less than the original allocation of overs, no bowler may bowl more than one fifth of the total overs allowed. Where the total overs are not divisible by 5, an additional over shall be allowed to the minimum number of bowlers necessary to make up the balance e.g. in a 43 over match, 3 bowlers may bowl 9 overs and no other more than 8 overs. 6.2 In the event of a reduction in overs after the commencement of the match, the maximum number of overs allowed per bowler shall remain as at the start of the match. 6.3 In the event of a bowler being incapacitated or suspended and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be bowled by another bowler providing that bowler did not bowl the previous Limited Overs Premier Division over or part thereof. Such part of an over shall count as a full over only insofar as each bowler’s limit is concerned. 6.4 The ECB Fast Bowling Directives may affect the above over limitations (see 3.3).

7 LAW 28 – THE FIELDER 7.1 Law 28 shall apply subject to the following: Law 28.1 – Protective equipment The following shall apply in addition to Law 28.1: The exchanging of protective equipment between members of the fielding side on the field shall be permitted provided that the umpires do not consider that it constitutes a waste of playing time. 7.2 RESTRICTION ON THE PLACEMENT OF FIELDSMEN 7.2.1 At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fieldsmen on the leg side. 7.2.2 In addition to the restriction contained in clause 7.2.1 above, further fielding restrictions shall apply to certain overs in each innings. The nature of such fielding restrictions and the overs during which they shall apply are set out in the following paragraphs.

116 YEAR BOOK 2021 7.2.3 The following fielding restrictions shall apply: Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The semi-circles shall have as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles shall be 30 yards (27.43 metres). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on the field (see Diagram 1). The fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or ‘dots’ at 5 yard (4.57 metres) intervals, each ‘dot’ to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. At the instant of delivery: a) Powerplay 1 – no more than two (2) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 1 to 10 inclusive. b) Powerplay 2 – no more than four (4) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 11 to 40 inclusive. c) Powerplay 3 – no more than five (5) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 41 to 50 inclusive. 7.2.4 In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of overs within each phase of the innings shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the match. Innings Powerplay 1 Powerplay 2 Powerplay 3 Duration (Max Out 2) (Max Out 4) (Max Out 5) 25 5 15 5 26 5 16 5 27 6 16 5 28 6 17 5 Division Limited Overs Premier 29 6 17 6 30 6 18 6 31 6 19 6 32 7 19 6 33 7 20 6 34 7 20 7 35 7 21 7 36 7 22 7 37 8 22 7 38 8 23 7 39 8 23 8 40 8 24 8 41 8 25 8 42 9 25 8 43 9 26 8 44 9 26 9 45 9 27 9 46 9 28 9 47 10 28 9 48 10 29 9 49 10 29 10 7.2.5 If play is interrupted during the second innings and the table in 7.2.4 applies, the Powerplay takes immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid- over. Illustrations of 7.2.5 A 50 over second innings is interrupted after 8.3 overs and reduced to 32 overs. The new phases are 7+19+6. Therefore the Powerplay 2 (middle phase) fielding restrictions take immediate effect when play resumes and last for a further 17.3 overs. The Powerplay 3 (final phase) begins after 26 overs have been bowled.

YEAR BOOK 2021 117 A 40 over second innings is interrupted after 18.5 overs and reduced to 25 overs. The new phases are 5+15+5. When play resumes, the Powerplay 3 (final phase) fielding restrictions begin after 20 overs have been bowled. 7.2.6 At the commencement of the Powerplay 2 (middle phase) and Powerplay 3 (final phase) of an innings, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle. 7.2.7 In the event of an infringement of any of the above restrictions, the square leg Umpire shall call and signal ‘No Ball’. 7.2.8 Where possible the scoreboard shall indicate the current Powerplay in progress.

8 WIDE BALL 8.1. In addition to Law 22, Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. The following directive should be adopted as a guide to umpires regarding leg side wides: Deliveries passing down the leg side behind the body of the striker (not touching the batsman’s bat or any part of his body or clothing) and wide of the leg stump, whether he moves or not, shall be interpreted as negative bowling and ‘Wide Ball’ shall be called by the bowlers end umpire. Should a batsman attempt a switch hit or reverse sweep, for the purposes of considering WIDE BALL ONLY, both sides of the wicket shall be considered as the off side. A penalty of one run for a Wide shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. 8.2 ADDITIONAL PITCH MARKINGS The following shall apply in addition to Law 7: As a guideline to the umpires for the calling of wides on the off side, the crease markings detailed in Diagram 2 shall be marked preferably in a dark colour at each end of the pitch.

9 FREE HIT AFTER NO BALL The delivery following a no ball called (all modes of no ball with the exception of a short-pitched delivery that passes or would have passed clearly over head-height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Limited Overs Premier Division Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker or the No Ball was the result of a field restriction breach in which case the field may be changed to the extent of correcting the breach, e.g. a fielder cannot move back to the 30-yard fielding discs. The wicket keeper may move back up to 1 metre if any replacement bowler is faster than the one removed from bowling (ECB guidelines). However, in all circumstances, any fielder within 15 yards of the striker may retreat to a position on the same line no more than 15 yards from the striker. The Umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion. 10 BOWLING FAST SHORT PITCHED BALLS (BOUNCERS) OR UNFAIR NON-PITCHING BALLS (BEAMERS). 10.1 In addition to Law 41.6 (Bowling of Dangerous and Unfair Short Pitched Deliveries) the following shall apply:- 10.1.1 A bowler shall be limited to two fast, short pitched balls per over (the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall make it clear to both the bowler and the batsman when a short pitched ball has been bowled). 10.1.2 A fast, short pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder

118 YEAR BOOK 2021 of the batsman standing upright at the crease. This ruling shall apply even though the striker has made contact with the ball with his bat, person, or equipment. Note: A ball passing above head height being called No Ball by the Umpire, Law 21.10, shall count as ‘one for the over’ in the context of this regulation. (Law 41.6.1 and 41.6.2 shall also apply, in full). 10.1.3 If this limit is exceeded the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall call and signal ‘No Ball’ on each occasion. If a bowler exceeds his limit of short-pitched deliveries in an over, not only must the Umpire call and signal “No Ball” but he must invoke the procedures of caution, final warning and reporting as set out in Law 41.6.3, 41.6.4 and 41.6.5. 10.2 When applying the Law for dealing with unfair non-pitching deliveries, the Law applies at all times. Although the ball might pass so high or so wide of the striker that it would not constitute an apparent risk to the safety of the striker, any delivery which passes within the limits of the return crease is to be deemed as dangerous and the appropriate action taken. 11 METHODS OF DISMISSAL (LIMITED OVER CRICKET) 11.1 All methods of dismissal, as per Marylebone Cricket Club code of the Laws of Cricket, shall apply in full except for Law 41.16 whereby the bowler must warn the non-striker in the first instance (umpire to be made aware). Please note, this will be a “team warning” so one warning only is required. 12 RESULT 12.1 A result can only be achieved if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 25 overs, unless the team batting second has scored more runs than its opponents or has achieved its target score as hereinafter defined.

12.2 Save as hereinafter provided a match shall be won by the team which has scored the most runs. Division Limited Overs Premier 12.3 Where a team batting second does not have the opportunity of batting the same number of overs as the team batting first due to time being lost after the commencement of the match, the result shall be determined as follows:- Rule 12.3.1 applies only to Limited Overs matches in the Premier Division. 12.3.1 The Duckworth Lewis (DL) method will be applied to determine the overs faced and target scores for each team. The DL version used will be that in place within the Play Cricket Scorer (Scoring App) electronic software. It is anticipated that most club scoreboards will not have the possibility to display both a Target Score and a Par Score, however, the Target Score must be displayed according to the DL calculations. The match officials will agree the process, calculations and display. The match result shall be as according to the DL calculations. Match points (see Rule 13) shall apply, e.g. a win for the team batting second will result in points for the win, runs scored, wickets taken and wickets in hand. Note: i) Duckworth Lewis Stern (DLS) shall not be used, as this method is anticipated to be available to fewer clubs than DL. Note: ii) It is compulsory for Premier Division clubs to have access to the DL calculation algorithm. The DL version contained within the Play Cricket Scorer software can be used separately from using it to score a match (although the two can be combined if desired), and it does not require an active internet connection as long as a device loaded with the Play Cricket Scorer software is available. This software is free and open for download to all clubs and officials. Note: iii) DL adjustments shall be recorded in full on the match result sheet. Rules Rules 12.3.2 and 12.3.3 apply only to matches in Divisions 1, 2 and 3. 12.3.2 This rule does not apply in the Premier Division 12.3.3 This rule does not apply in the Premier Division 12.3.4 If the score of team batting second surpasses the “target score” at any time prior to the conclusion of its innings then the match shall be won by the team batting second but if bowled out earlier the match shall be won by the team batting first.

YEAR BOOK 2021 119 12.3.5 A match shall be tied if the scores are equal at the end of the match, or when Duckworth Lewis has been used to modify the Target Score, the side batting second achieves a score equal to the Par Score or one less than the Target Score. 13 POINTS – OVERS GAME 13.1 Result Win – 12 points Tie – 6 points Loss – 0 points No result – 0 points - and shall not count as a match played in determining the points average 13.2 Bonus Points shall be awarded as follows: 13.2.1 Bowling 2 - 3 wickets taken 1 points 4 - 5 wickets taken 2 points 6 - 7 wickets taken 3 points 8 - 9 wickets taken 4 points 10 wickets taken 5 points Note i) Should the batting side play with less than eleven players due to either a player or players being absent, or leaving the field through illness, injury or other cause so that his/their innings cannot be completed and the remainder of the side are dismissed before the last ball of the innings, then the batting side shall be considered ‘all out’ and the bowling side shall receive maximum bowling points. Note ii) See Law 25.4 (Batsman leaving the field) - “retired - not out” Note iii) Bowling bonus points in either innings will only be available in the first 2 hours 55 minutes for a 50 over game after the Umpires have taken the drinks interval plus 1.5 minutes for each wicket that falls in an innings and extended delays for injury etc. into account. Time allowance will not be subject to retrospective negotiation. Where either innings is reduced, the 2 hours 55 minutes shall be reduced by 3 minutes for every over less than 50 (i.e. innings reduced to 35 overs time available - 2 hours 10 minutes) the time shall change every time the number of overs to be bowled changes. The umpires shall inform the Captain of the fielding side and the Batsman at the wicket, together with the Scorers of each change when they take the field. (Umpires decision to be final) 5 mins shall be allowed for each drinks interval. 13.2.2 Batting 125 - 149 runs scored 1 points 150 - 174 runs scored 2 points 175 - 199 runs scored 3 points

Limited Overs Premier Division 200 - 224 runs scored 4 points 225 or more runs scored 5 points

13.2.3 In matches where the over limit is reduced, there shall be a lessening of the targets to achieve batting bonus points (see reduced target table). 13.2.4 Additional Batting Points The team batting second and winning will receive the following additional batting points (up to a maximum combined total of 5 batting points): Winning by 9 or 10 wickets 5 points Winning by 7 or 8 wickets 4 points Winning by 5 or 6 wickets 3 points Winning by 3 or 4 wickets 2 points Winning by 1 or 2 wickets 1 points 13.3 The maximum points a team can be awarded in any match shall be 22.

Innings Powerplay 1 Powerplay 2 Powerplay 3 Duration (Max Out 2) (Max Out 4) (Max Out 5) 20 4 12 4 21 4 13 4 22 5 13 4 23 5 14 4 24 5 14 5 25 5 15 5 26 5 16 5 27 6 16 5 28 6 17 5 29 6 17 6 30 6 18 6 31 6 19 6 32 7 19 6 33 7 20 6 34 7 20 7 35 7 21 7 36 7 22 7 37 8 22 7 38 8 23 7 39 8 23 8

7.2.5 If play is interrupted during the second innings and the table in 7.2.4 applies, the Powerplay takes immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over. Illustrations of 7.2.5 A 50 over second innings is interrupted after 8.3 overs and reduced to 32 overs. The new phases are 7+19+6. Therefore the Powerplay 2 (middle phase) fielding restrictions take immediate effect when play resumes and last for a further 17.3 overs. The Powerplay 3 (final phase) begins after 26 overs have been bowled. A 40 over second innings is interrupted after 18.5 overs and reduced to 25 overs. The new phases are 5+15+5. When play resumes, the Powerplay 3 (final phase) fielding restrictions begin after 20 overs have been bowled. 7.2.6 At the commencement of the Powerplay 2 (middle phase) and Powerplay 3 (final phase) of an innings, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle. 7.2.7 In the event of an infringement of any of the above restrictions, the square leg Umpire shall call and signal ‘No Ball’. Limited Overs Division 1-3

8 WIDE BALL 8.1. In addition to Law 22, Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. The following directive should be adopted as a guide to umpires regarding leg side wides: Deliveries passing down the leg side behind the body of the striker (not touching the batsman’s bat or any part of his body or clothing) and wide of the leg stump, whether he moves or not, shall be interpreted as negative bowling and ‘Wide Ball’ shall be called by the bowlers end umpire. Should a batsman attempt a switch hit or reverse sweep, for the purposes of considering WIDE BALL ONLY, both sides of the wicket shall be considered as the off side. A penalty of one run for a Wide shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. 8.2 ADDITIONAL PITCH MARKINGS The following shall apply in addition to Law 7: As a guideline to the umpires for the calling of wides on the off side, the crease markings detailed in Diagram 2 shall be marked preferably in a dark colour at each end of the pitch.

9 FREE HIT AFTER NO BALL The delivery following a no ball called (all modes of no ball with the exception of a short-pitched delivery that passes or would have passed clearly over head-height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker or the No Ball was the result of a field restriction breach in which case the field may be changed to the extent of correcting the breach, e.g. a fielder cannot move back to the 30-yard fielding discs. The wicket keeper may move back up to 1 metre if any replacement bowler is faster than the one removed from bowling (ECB guidelines). However, in all circumstances, any fielder within 15 yards of the striker may retreat to a position on the same line no more than 15 yards from the striker. The Umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion. 10 BOWLING FAST SHORT PITCHED BALLS (BOUNCERS) OR UNFAIR NON-PITCHING BALLS (BEAMERS). 10.1 In addition to Law 41.6 (Bowling of Dangerous and Unfair Short Pitched Deliveries) the following shall apply:-

10.1.1 A bowler shall be limited to two fast, short pitched balls per over (the Umpire at the bowler’s end Limited Overs Division 1-3 shall make it clear to both the bowler and the batsman when a short pitched ball has been bowled). 10.1.2 A fast, short pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder of the batsman standing upright at the crease. This ruling shall apply even though the striker has made contact with the ball with his bat, person, or equipment. Note: A ball passing above head height being called No Ball by the Umpire, Law 21.10, shall count as ‘one for the over’ in the context of this regulation. (Law 41.6.1 and 41.6.2 shall also apply, in full). 10.1.3 If this limit is exceeded the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall call and signal ‘No Ball’ on each occasion. If a bowler exceeds his limit of short-pitched deliveries in an over, not only must the Umpire call and signal “No Ball” but he must invoke the procedures of caution, final warning and reporting as set out in Law 41.6.3, 41.6.4 and 41.6.5.

YEAR BOOK 2021 125 10.2 When applying the Law for dealing with unfair non-pitching deliveries, the Law applies at all times. Although the ball might pass so high or so wide of the striker that it would not constitute an apparent risk to the safety of the striker, any delivery which passes within the limits of the return crease is to be deemed as dangerous and the appropriate action taken.

11 METHODS OF DISMISSAL (LIMITED OVER CRICKET) 11.1 All methods of dismissal, as per Marylebone Cricket Club code of the Laws of Cricket, shall apply in full except for Law 41.16 whereby the bowler must warn the non-striker in the first instance (umpire to be made aware). Please note, this will be a “team warning” so one warning only is required.

12 RESULT 12.1 A result can only be achieved if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 20 overs, unless the team batting second has scored more runs than its opponents or has achieved its target score as hereinafter defined. 12.2 Save as hereinafter provided a match shall be won by the team which has scored the most runs. 12.3 Where a team batting second does not have the opportunity of batting the same number of overs as the team batting first due to time being lost after the commencement of the match, the result shall be determined as follows:- 12.3.1++ Rule 12.3.1 applies only to Limited Overs matches in the Premier Division.

EXAMPLE OF REDUCED OVER RATE CALCULATION A B C D E F G 1st Overs Run Rate Overs allocated to side d = Run Rate for team Innings alloted at = A ÷ B batting second at Difference in d x batting second Runs Start of (to 2 decimal commencement of overs (B – D) 1.2 = (100 + F) Scored Match places) 2nd Innings x C ÷ 100 221 50 4.42 42 8 9.6 4.84 Target Score = Overs allocated to side batting second x G (Example above Target score = 42 x 4.84 = 203.28 = 204 to win) Overs reduced again after start of second innings: New Target score = Revised number overs allocated to side batting second x G (Example further reduction after start of 2nd innings of 4 overs New Target score = 38 x 4.84 = 183.92 = 184 to win)

12.3.2 The ‘2nd innings run rate’ shall be determined immediately prior to the start of the innings of the team batting second using the following formula: (100 + {d x1.2}) x (1st innings run rate) ÷ 100 Where d = difference in overs to be played at the commencement of the innings of the team batting second. (1st innings run rate) = (1st innings score) / (number of overs allocated to the team batting first) Note: i) The run rate of both the first and second innings shall be calculated to two decimal places. Note: ii) The run rate shall be agreed by both scorers and umpires prior to the start of innings and once agreed shall be final. Note: iii) Once the run rate for the second innings has been calculated it shall remain as the run rate for that innings even though a later interruption may reduce the number of overs the team batting second can receive. Note: iv) If the second innings commences with the same number of overs allocated to the team batting first the run rate shall remain as the first innings run rate even though a later interruption may reduce the number of overs the team batting second can receive. 12.3.3 The run rate shall be multiplied by the lowest reduced number of overs which the team batting second shall be entitled to receive after making allowance for time lost after the commencement of the match. The resulting figure shall be the “target score”. Limited Overs Division 1-3

126 YEAR BOOK 2021 12.3.4 If the score of team batting second surpasses the “target score” at any time prior to the conclusion of its innings then the match shall be won by the team batting second but if bowled out earlier the match shall be won by the team batting first. 12.3.5 A match shall be tied if the scores are equal at the end of the match. In a match interrupted after the commencement, where the revised target score involves a fraction of a run, then the final scores cannot be equal and the result cannot be a tie. 13 POINTS – OVERS GAME 13.1 Result Win – 12 points Tie – 6 points Loss – 0 points No result – 0 points - and shall not count as a match played in determining the points average 13.2 Bonus Points shall be awarded as follows: 13.2.1 Bowling 2 - 3 wickets taken 1 points 4 - 5 wickets taken 2 points 6 - 7 wickets taken 3 points 8 - 9 wickets taken 4 points 10 wickets taken 5 points Note i) Should the batting side play with less than eleven players due to either a player or players being absent, or leaving the field through illness, injury or other cause so that his/their innings cannot be completed and the remainder of the side are dismissed before the last ball of the innings, then the batting side shall be considered ‘all out’ and the bowling side shall receive maximum bowling points. Note ii) See Law 25.4 (Batsman leaving the field) - “retired - not out” Note iii) Bowling bonus points in either innings will only be available in the first 2 hours 20 minutes for a 40 over game after the Umpires have taken the drinks interval plus 1.5 minutes for each wicket that falls in an innings and extended delays for injury etc. into account. Time allowance will not be subject to retrospective negotiation. Where either innings is reduced, the 2 hours 20 minutes shall be reduced by 3 minutes for every over less than 40 (i.e. innings reduced to 25 overs time available - 1 hour 35 minutes) the time shall change every time the number of overs to be bowled changes. The umpires shall inform the Captain of the fielding side and the Batsman at the wicket, together with the Scorers of each change when they take the field. (Umpires decision to be final) 5 mins shall be allowed for each drinks interval. 13.2.2 ++ Batting 100 - 119 runs scored 1 points 120 - 139 runs scored 2 points 140 - 159 runs scored 3 points 160 - 179 runs scored 4 points 180 or more runs scored 5 points 13.2.3 In matches where the over limit is reduced, there shall be a lessening of the targets to achieve Limited Overs Division 1-3 batting bonus points (see reduced target table). 13.2.4 Additional Batting Points The team batting second and winning will receive the following additional batting points (up to a maximum combined total of 5 batting points): Winning by 9 or 10 wickets 5 points Winning by 7 or 8 wickets 4 points Winning by 5 or 6 wickets 3 points Winning by 3 or 4 wickets 2 points Winning by 1 or 2 wickets 1 points 13.3 The maximum points a team can be awarded in any match shall be 22.

Twenty20 Cup Rules and Regulations

1. CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT 1.1 The entire control and management of the Southern Twenty 20 Cup (hereinafter referred to as the Cup) shall be vested in the Management Committee of the Southern Premier Cricket League and played under the Laws of Cricket, except where superseded by these these Competition Rules and shall be played for the Southern League Twenty 20 Cup. The Cup shall not become the property of any one Club. The number of Clubs competing shall be determined by the Management Committee, which will use its discretion regarding the issue of invitations for Clubs to enter. 1.2 The Management Committee will endeavour to split the Twenty 20 matches into two competitions, namely the Twenty 20 Cup and Twenty 20 Plate. Generally, Clubs which are victorious in the first round of matches will compete in the Twenty 20 Cup, while first round losing Clubs will compete in the Twenty 20 Plate.

This competition shall take precedence over all other Sunday competition matches except for the ECB National Club Competition. Individual Clubs are not at liberty to alter the dates of fixtures without the consent of the Competition Manager, whose permission will only be given in exceptional circumstances. An inability to raise “the best” side is not a valid reason for postponement of a fixture. The Club drawn first shall be the “home” team and provide the pitch and be responsible for the placement of the fielding discs. All grounds used shall be of an acceptable standard to the Southern Premier Cricket League and be suitably equipped with adequate sightscreens. 5. REFUSALS A Club refusing, or failing to play a Club against which it has been drawn on the date fixed for that round shall be adjudged to have lost the match and shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £100. Should a Club refuse to compete or not be ready to commence play at the appointed time, they may

YEAR BOOK 2021 129 be removed at the discretion of the Management Committee and may also be denied entry to the Competition the following season.

6. UMPIRES’ AND CAPTAINS’ RESPONSIBILITIES 6.1 Umpires for all rounds will be appointed by the South Coast Panel of Cricket Officials and shall have sole control of the match in which they are officiating. It shall be the Umpires’ responsibility to inform the Captains of the number of overs to be played including any reductions necessary in the event Rules & Regulations Rules of any time loss. They shall also be responsible for informing the Captains of the agreed boundaries before the start of play. Before the toss for innings each Captain shall nominate his players who may not thereafter be changed without the consent of the opposing Captain. The current ECB Fast Bowling Directives will apply to all matches. Captains, Team Managers and Umpires shall be responsible for ensuring that the Directives are followed. The Captain of each side shall inform the Umpires, prior to the commencement of the match, of the names and relevant age group of any player under the age of 19 on 31st August of the previous year. The current ECB guidance on the wearing of helmets by players up to the age of 18 shall be followed. 6.2 Each team shall supply a competent Scorer who shall not be a player in the match. If no Scorer is available, the Captain will nominate one of his team players to undertake the scoring. No substitute shall be allowed for this player, who may, however, resume his place in the nominated side, with any resultant penalties under the Laws, if a Scorer is subsequently provided.

7. PLAYING CONDITIONS 7.1 General 7.1.1 The Official time for starting shall be 3.00pm, unless agreed differently by both the away team and the Management Committee. The Semi Finals and Final will be played at grounds and starting times to be agreed and confirmed by the Management Committee. 7.1.2 In the event of the match not being played owing to circumstances over which neither Club has control, the match will be rescheduled and played on a date to be arranged by the Management Committee. This will normally be on the same day of the following week. In the event of the postponement of a rescheduled match, the tie will be decided by either a bowl out or the toss of a coin whichever is more practicable. However, in the event of such a tie being the semi final or final of the competition, other arrangements may be made at the sole discretion of the Management Committee in consultation with the competition manager. 7.2 Duration 7.2.1 In an uninterrupted match each batting side shall be entitled to receive a maximum number of 20 x 6 ball overs, unless all out earlier. 7.2.2 A team shall not be permitted to declare its innings closed. 7.2.3 In an uninterrupted match, the fielding side shall be ready to bowl the first ball of the last over in 1hr 15mins. Should either fielding side fail this, it will complete the remaining overs and the batting side shall be credited with 6 runs for every whole over that has not been bowled in the allotted time. This will apply to both innings of the match. The 1hr 15mins may be extended for an interruption during play on the field due to injury or lost ball, or other unavoidable cause. The Umpires shall inform the Captain of the fielding side and the batsman at the crease of any increased time allowance as and when they arise. (The Umpires’ decision will be final and not for negotiation). 7.2.4 In all matches, before making any of the following calculations, the Umpires shall ignore the first 30 minutes of time lost. 7.2.5 Each innings must be a minimum of 5 overs to constitute a match.

130 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

7.2.6 Where an interruption before or during the match due to any cause requires the Umpires to reduce the overs as shown in Clause 7.2.7 below, the Umpires on taking the field will inform the fielding Captain of the revised time by which the overs are to be completed, based on 3.75 minutes per remaining over to be bowled. This shall apply to both innings on each occasion they take the field. 7.2.7 In the event of time being lost due to any cause, either prior to the scheduled start or during a match, the Umpires shall if possible adjust the length of the innings so that each batting side shall be entitled to an equal maximum number of overs which shall not be less than 5. If 5 overs per innings are not possible due to further time loss the match shall be abandoned. The match shall be reduced, due to time lost, as follows: For every 7.5 minutes lost during the first innings, the time allowed for that innings will be reduced by 3.75 minutes and the maximum number of overs reduced by one. The team batting second will receive the same number of overs as bowled to the team batting first unless the team batting first loses all its wickets, in which case the side batting second will receive the revised maximum number of overs. For every 3.75 minutes lost during the second innings, 1 over will be deducted from that innings. 7.2.8 In all reduced overs matches, the fielding team will be given one over’s leeway. For the avoidance of doubt, one over’s leeway means that the fielding side must be in position to bowl the first ball of the penultimate over by the scheduled or rescheduled cut off time. 7.2.9 Umpires are instructed to apply a strict interpretation of time wasting by the batsmen (5-run penalties) specifically; batsmen are expected to be ready for the start of a new over as soon as the bowler is ready. 7.2.10 The interval shall be no longer than 15 minutes. 7.3 Restriction on the Placement of Fieldsmen 7.3.1 At the instant of delivery there shall not be more than five fieldsmen on the leg side. 7.3.2 For the first 6 overs only of each innings, two fieldsmen only are permitted to be outside an area bounded by semi-circles which shall have as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles shall be 30 yards. The ends of each semi-circle shall be joined to the other by a straight line drawn on the field on the same side of the pitch. The field restriction area is to be marked by ‘dots’ at five-yard intervals, each ‘dot’ to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring seven inches in diameter. 7.3.3 For the remaining overs of each innings, five fieldsmen only are permitted to be outside the fielding circle at the instant of delivery. 7.3.4 Team Batting First Where the number of overs of either team is reduced, the number of overs in regard to the restrictions in 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 above shall be in accordance with the following table. If on resumption after a delay the number of overs has been exceeded, this shall take effect immediately. Total Overs In Innings Numbers of Overs for Field Restrictions 5 – 6 1 7 – 9 2 10 – 13 3 14 – 16 4 17 – 19 5 7.3.5 Team Batting Second a) Where the number of overs for the team batting second is reduced, the number of field restriction overs shall be reduced in accordance with the table above. For the sake of clarity the table shall apply to both first and second innings. b) Where, in an interrupted innings, on resumption the calculated number of field restriction overs (as set out above) has already been exceeded, then restrictions shall end immediately subject to c) below.

YEAR BOOK 2021 131 c) If an innings is interrupted during an over, the status of that over must be retained when that over is completed. d) In the event of an infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, the striker’s end Umpire shall call and signal ‘No Ball’. Please note that a no-ball for a fielding restriction error can be called at any point up until the bowler commences his run up on the following delivery. Number of Overs Per Bowler

Rules & Regulations Rules 7.4.1 No bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the number of overs scheduled for the innings unless such a number has been exceeded before an interruption. Where the total overs are not divisible by five, an additional over shall be allowed to the minimum number of bowlers necessary to make up the balance, as per the following example: After 8 overs, rain interrupts play, and the innings is reduced to 12 overs. Both opening bowlers have bowled 4 overs. Two bowlers can bowl 3 overs and three bowlers can bowl 2 overs. Bowlers 1 and 2 have already exceeded this limit. They count as the two bowlers who were allowed the extra over (4 as opposed to 3) and so any other bowlers are limited to 2 overs. 7.4.2 For innings of rescheduled length of between 5 and 9 overs, no bowler may bowl more than two overs. In these circumstances, the one-fifth limit does not apply. 7.4.3 When an interruption occurs mid-over and on resumption the bowler has exceeded the new maximum allocation, they will be allowed to finish the incomplete over. 7.4.4 In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, another bowler will bowl the remaining balls. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler’s limit is concerned. 7.4.5 The allocation of overs per bowler will not be reduced as a result of the deduction of any penalty overs. 7.4.6 The number of overs bowled by each individual bowler shall be recorded by the Umpires. 7.4.7 For U19 bowlers, overs can be bowled in any combination i.e. if a U19 bowler bowls 2 overs, there is no requirement to have to wait another 2 overs before bowling again.

7.5 Law 21.15 – No Ball – Penalty Law 21.15 will apply except that the penalty for No Ball will be 2 runs. 7.6 Free Hit after No Ball The delivery following a no ball called (all modes of no ball with the exception of a short-pitched delivery that passes or would have passed clearly over head-height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker or the no ball was the result of a fielding restriction breach in which case the field may be changed to the extent of correcting the breach. However, in all circumstances, any fielder within 15 yards of the striker may retreat to a position on the same line no more than 15 yards from the striker. The Umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion. 7.7 Law 22 - Wide Ball In addition to Law 22, Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. The following directive should be adopted as a guide to umpires regarding legside wides: Deliveries passing down the leg side behind the body of the striker (not touching the batsman’s bat or

132 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

any part of his body or clothing) wide of the wicket, whether he moves or not, shall be interpreted as Negative bowling and ‘Wide Ball’ shall be called by the bowlers end umpire. Should a batsman attempt a switch hit or reverse sweep, for the purposes of considering WIDE BALL ONLY, both sides of the wicket shall be considered as the off side. A penalty of one run for a Wide shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. 7.8 Law 40 – Timed Out Law 40 will apply except that the incoming batsman must be in position to take guard or for his partner to be ready to receive the next ball within 1minute 30 seconds of the fall of the last wicket. The incoming batsman is expected to be ready to make his way to the wicket immediately a wicket falls. 7.9 Short Pitched Bowling In addition to Law 41.6 (Dangerous and unfair bowling) the following shall apply:- A bowler shall be limited to one fast, short pitched ball per over (the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall make it clear to both the bowler and the batsman when a short pitched ball has been bowled) A fast, short pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder of the batsman standing upright at the crease. This ruling shall apply even though the striker has made contact with the ball with his bat, person, or equipment. Note: A ball passing above head height being called No Ball by the Umpire, Law 21.10, shall count as ‘one for the over’ in the context of this regulation. (Law 41.6 (a) shall also apply, in full). If this limit is exceeded the Umpire at the bowler’s end shall call and signal ‘No Ball’ on each occasion. If a bowler exceeds his limit of short-pitched deliveries in an over, not only must the Umpire call “No Ball” but he must invoke the procedures of caution, final warning and reporting as set out in Law 41.6.3. 7.10 Unfair Non-Pitching Balls (Beamers) When applying the Law for dealing with unfair non-pitching deliveries, the Law applies at all times. Although the ball might pass so high or so wide of the striker that it would not constitute an apparent risk to the safety of the striker, any delivery which passes within the limits of the return crease is to be deemed as dangerous and the appropriate action taken.

8. THE BALL One new orange Dukes quarter ball shall be used for each innings, except for the Semi Final & Final where a white ball may be used at the discretion of the Management Committee. The balls shall be provided by the SPCL.

9. THE RESULT i) Save as hereinafter provided a match shall be won by the team who has scored more runs. ii) In the event of overs being reduced in the second innings the winning total required shall be determined as follows: (a) The number of runs scored by the team batting first shall be divided by the number of overs which that team would have been entitled to receive after making allowance for any time lost after the appointed commencement of the match. The resulting figure (taken to 2 decimal places) is hereinafter called the run rate. (b) The run rate shall be multiplied by the lowest number of overs which the side batting second shall be entitled to receive after making allowance for time lost after the commencement of that team’s innings. The resulting figure (taken to 2 decimal places) is hereinafter called the “target score”.

YEAR BOOK 2021 133 (c) If a side batting second surpasses the target score at any time prior to the conclusion of its innings and without that team having been dismissed then the match shall be won by the team batting second, failing which it shall be won by the team who batted first. (d) A match can only be tied if the scores are equal at the end of the match and provided that no interruptions have occurred. In a match interrupted after the commencement, where the revised target score involves a fraction of a run, the final scores cannot be equal and the result cannot be a tie. Rules & Regulations Rules (iii) In the event of a match ending in a tie, it will be decided as follows: In the event of the scores being tied, no account shall be taken of wickets lost. The teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine the winner. The following procedure will apply should the provision for a one over per side eliminator be adopted in any match. (a) Subject to weather conditions the one over per side eliminator will take place at a time to be determined by the umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match. (b) The one over per side eliminator will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground authority and the umpires. (c) The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match. (d) The umpires shall choose which end to bowl and both teams will bowl from the same end. (e) Prior to the commencement of the one over per side eliminator each team elects three batsmen and one bowler. (f) The nominated players are given in writing to the umpires. The umpires shall not disclose the names of the nominated players to any other person until both teams have submitted their respective nominees. (g) Each team’s over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for the last over in the T20 match. (h) The team batting second in the match will bat first in the one over eliminator. (i) The same ball (or a ball of a similar age if the original ball is out of shape or lost) as used at the end of the team’s innings shall be used for the “extra” over. (j) The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team’s one over innings. (k) In the event of the teams having the same score after the one over per side eliminator has been completed, the team whose batsmen hit the most number of boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main match and the one over per side eliminator shall be the winner. (l) If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batsmen scored more boundaries during its innings in the main match (ignoring the over per side eliminator) shall be the winner. (m) If still equal, a count-back from the final ball of the one over eliminator shall be conducted. On count back, the team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls. Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is defined as the total team runs scored since the completion of the previous legitimate ball, i.e including any runs resulting from wides, no ball or penalty runs.

134 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

Example: Runs scored from: Team 1 Team 2 Ball 6 1 1 Ball 5 4 4 Ball 4 2 1 Ball 3 6 2 Ball 2 0 1 Ball 1 2 6 In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However team 1 scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner.

10. NOTIFICATION OF RESULTS The Home Club shall input the match details on to the Play-Cricket website within 24 hours from the end of the game. In the event of a no result, the Home Club must update the Play-Cricket website accordingly and inform the Competition manager by telephone, within 4 hours.

11. PROTESTS AND APPEALS Disputes and complaints shall be made in writing to the Competition Manager within 48 hours of the incident or occurrence to which they refer. The question of eligibility or qualification of competitors, interpretation of the Rules, as well as the other matters in dispute, shall be referred to the Management Committee whose decision shall be final.

Recommended Guidelines to Address a Suspect Bowling Action

The following is the recommended process to be followed in the event an Umpire has reason to believe that, in his opinion, an individual player’s bowling action is suspect and may not conform to the prescribed delivery position either continuously or intermittently. NOTE: This process does not deal with a deliberate throw of a cricket ball on delivery to a batsman, which should at all times be called a “No Ball.” On the Field of play: a) Further to the initial observation of a bowling action that appears suspect, a formal record should be made by the umpire (i.e. name of player, over and ball). Other than to continue to monitor, no further action is necessary at this time. b) Upon a second occurrence (recorded as above) the umpire concerned should first establish if his colleague has similar concerns / recordings. Whether the other Umpire has any specific input or not, the Captain of the fielding side must be alerted (in the presence of both umpires) as to the nature and recorded facts of the observations and informed that a report will be made in writing to the League immediately following the completion of the game. • It is the responsibility of the Captain to inform the bowler / player concerned • There should be no debate from either party on the field of play In the majority of cases, the calling of subsequent “No Balls” should be discouraged as finite assessment would not have been made at that time. However, if in the opinion of BOTH Umpires their concern regarding subsequent suspect bowling is of such a nature as to affect the game itself, then TOGETHER they may agree to: i) Speak with the Fielding Captain and suggest that the bowler is taken off or; ii) Inform the Captain, who will inform the bowler / player, that each subsequent delivery if considered suspect, WILL be called “No Ball.” Report: A full and concise report must be written by the observing Umpire(s) and sent within 3 full days (i.e. excludes the day of the game) to the Chairman of the League, with the Chairman and the Appointment Secretary of the Umpires Panel, and the General Secretary of the League, placed on copy. This may be accomplished via email. (For full guidelines please go to Southern Premier Cricket League website)

YEAR BOOK 2021 137 ECB Guidelines for Junior Players in Open Age Cricket

The ECB has issued guidance covering the selection and participation of young players in open age group cricket. This is to help clubs decide when to select young players in open age group cricket and how best to Rules & Regulations Rules help their cricketing development when they play within open age groups. The guidance applies to boys and girls. The ECB keeps these guidelines under review and, following feedback from clubs and leagues, has revised these guidelines from the 2014 season. The ECB will continue to monitor the impact of these guidelines and you are invited to feedback your thoughts and comments in writing to the ECB Non-First Class Cricket Department. The guidance is as follows: General • Making the step up from junior to open age group cricket is a significant event in any player’s cricket experience. Ensure the player’s safety, personal development needs and overall cricket experience are considered. • Clubs, squad coaches and managers must take into account the requirements on age detailed in this guidance. • Each case is to be determined on an individual basis, depending on the player’s ability and stage of cognitive and emotional maturity to take part at this level. However, the minimum age guidance provided below must be adhered to. • Juniors should be involved in all aspects of the game wherever possible i.e. socialising, team talks, practice, decision making and so on, so they feel part of the team. • Children will often feel more comfortable and able to perform if they have a family member or friend also playing in the side. • Remember, children’s early experiences will remain with them always and will often determine whether they want to remain playing the game or give up and do something else. • Provide an opportunity for players to show their talents in an appropriate way. Children who are just used as fielders will not fully experience the game. • Be supportive, at all times, for all forms of effort even when children are not successful. Try and put them in situations where they will experience some success (however small) and ensure plenty of praise and encouragement. • The captain should inform the Umpires of under 18s in the side.

Restrictions ECB Helmets, Fast Bowling Directives and Fielding Regulations should always be adhered to for junior players in Open age group cricket.

Minimum Age Players who are selected in a County U12 squad in spring for a summer squad or in another squad deemed by ECB Performance Managers to be of a standard above ‘district level’ for that season are eligible to play open age cricket. This is providing they are at least 11 years old, are in School Year 7 on 1st September in the year preceding the season, and have written parental consent to play. In allowing these players to play in open age cricket it is essential clubs and coaches recognise the ‘duty of care’ obligations they have towards these young players.

138 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

This means boys and girls who are county squad and area squad players, are able to play open age group cricket if they are in an U12 age group and are a minimum of 11 years old on 1st September of the year preceding the season. District and club players who are not in a county or area squads must wait until they reach the U13 age group, be in Year 8 and be 12 years old on 1st September of the preceding year before being able to play in any open age group cricket. As before written parental consent is required for these players.

The duty of care should be interpreted in two ways: • Not to place a young player in a position that involves an unreasonable risk to that young player, taking account of the circumstances of the match and the relative skills of the player • Not to create a situation that places members of the opposing side in a position whereby they cannot play cricket as they would normally do against adult players In addition, the guidelines note the need for clubs and leagues to recognise the positive experience young players should have in open age cricket. Clubs should provide an opportunity for players to show their talents in an appropriate way. Children who are just used as fielders will not fully experience the game.

Fielding Regulations

The ECB has regulations covering the minimum fielding distances for young players in all matches where a hard ball is used. • No young player in the Under 15 age group or younger shall be allowed to field closer than 8 yards (7.3 metres) from the middle stump, except behind the wicket on the off side, until the batsman has played at the ball. • For players in the Under 13 age group and below the distance is 11 yards (10 metres). • These minimum distances apply even if the player is wearing a helmet. • Should a young player in these age groups come within the restricted distance the umpire must stop the game immediately and instruct the fielder to move back. • In addition any young player in the Under 16 to Under 18 age groups, who has not reached the age of 18, must wear a helmet and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) when fielding within 6 yards (5.5 metres) of the bat, except behind the wicket on the off side. Players should wear appropriate protective equipment whenever they are fielding in a position where they feel at risk. • These fielding regulations are applicable to all cricket in England and Wales. Age groups are based on the age of the player at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season.

YEAR BOOK 2021 139 ECB Fast Bowling Directives

AGE MAX OVERS MAX OVERS PER SPELL PER DAY Up to 13 5 10 Rules & Regulations Rules U14, U15 6 12 U16, U17, U18, U19 7 18

For the purpose of these Directives a fast bowler is defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would in normal circumstances stand back to take the ball. Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs tothe length of his* spell have been bowled from the same end. A bowler can change ends without ending his current spell provided that he bowls the next over that he legally can from the other end. If this does not happen his spell is deemed to be concluded. If play is interrupted, for any reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in progress at the time of the interruption can be continued after the interruption up to the maximum number of overs per spell for the appropriate age group. If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell before the interruption have been bowled from the same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more, whether scheduled or not, the bowler can commence a new spell immediately. In matches of 20 overs or less per team where the competition regulations only allow bowlers to bowl less than or equal to the number of overs specified as the maximum in a spell in the Directives, the provisions requiring an equivalent number of overs from the same end to have elapsed before a subsequent spell can commence shall not apply (e.g. in any age group competition where a maximum of 4 overs per bowler is allowed these may be bowled at any time in the innings irrespective of the number of spells bowled). Once a bowler covered by these Directives has bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximum number overs per day for his age group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can exceed the maximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. If he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as he reverts to bowling fast. Captains, Team Managers and Umpires are asked to ensure that these Directives are followed at all times. For guidance it is recommended that in any 7 day period a fast bowler should not bowl more than 4 days in that period and for a maximum of 2 days in a row. Age groups are based on the age of the player at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season. *Any reference to he/his should be interpreted to include she/her.

140 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

ECB Guidance Note: Safety measures for helmets within recreational cricket

The ECB has recently announced new helmet safety measures, which are being introduced with a view to reducing the risk of head and facial injuries within the game. The purpose of this brief note is to assist Leagues and Clubs at the recreational level to understand the key elements of these changes and what they mean.

Players over the age of 18 The ECB strongly recommends that all adult recreational cricketers should wear helmets for certain activities, preferably which meet the most recent British Safety Standard (see below). This recommendation applies to batting against all types of bowling, wicket-keepers standing up to the wicket (who may as an alternative wear face protectors) and fielders fielding closer than eight yards from the batsman’s middle stump, except behind the wicket on the off side.

Under 18s The position in relation to u18s currently remains unchanged, and is governed by the ‘ECB Guidance on the Wearing of Cricket Helmets by Young Players’ (www.ecb.co.uk/youngplayershelmetguidance). In essence, batsmen and wicket-keepers standing up to the stumps must wear head protection when playing or practising. That Guidance should be referred to in full for the position in relation to u18s.

British Safety Standard The latest British Safety Standard is BS7928:2013 (for both adults and juniors). The full list of helmets meeting this standard is available at www.ecb.co.uk/helmets. For wicket-keeping face protectors the relevant British Safety Standard is BS7929-2:2009 (again, for both adults and juniors). The ECB understands that there is currently no specific women’s helmet and as a consequence no specific standard for women’s cricket helmets. As the size of the standard women’s cricket ball is between the standard men and junior balls, it is recommended that women use helmets that have been tested against both the men’s and junior sized ball, or at least against the junior size ball (as that could potentially get through the gap above the face guard on a men’s helmet).

What do Leagues and Clubs need to do? Whilst it is strongly recommended that all adult recreational cricketers wear helmets in the on-field circumstances detailed above, it is not mandatory for them to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, Leagues or Clubs do not need to go above and beyond the ECB’s recommendation by forcing their cricketers to wear helmets. However, Leagues and Clubs in recreational cricket should ensure that their cricketers are made aware of the ECB’s above recommendation in relation to helmets, including the need to check that any newly purchased helmets meet the latest British Safety Standard. The ECB recommends that Leagues and Clubs bring the link above (i.e www.ecb.co.uk/helmets) to the attention of their cricketers and encourage all cricketers to carefully consider their own health and safety regarding helmet use. Leagues and Clubs should always ensure that they have adequate public liability insurance. February 2016

This regulation has been applied by the Home Office, adopted by the England and Wales Cricket Board and affects all premier league clubs, considering a Category 3 (overseas) player for the forthcoming season. Various entry mechanisms are available, in addition to a British passport, EU passport, ancestral visa or spousal visa, but not all will allow a person to both play AND coach cricket. Visa type The player can: The player cannot: Tier 5 Creative and • Be employed as a player and/or • Seek any other type of employment, Sporting • coach for the main sponsor • other than what they were granted • permission for to enter the UK Please note: Individuals who travel on a Tier 5 Creative and Sporting visa, issued for the Recreational Game, cannot participate in any matches that are part of the First Class or Minor County Game Tier 5 Youth Mobility • Seek employment but not as a • Act as a professional sportsperson – (Ages 18-30) • professional sportsperson or coach • paid or unpaid • Coach, provided it is informal and • ad hoc Tier 4 Student • Play sport whilst in the UK, as an • Be paid to play • amateur, but only for their local club • Seek employment that is not part of • or the Education Institution they are • the subject they are studying • studying at • Coach, in any capacity, unless • coaching is part of the course they • are studying in the UK Standard Visitor Visa • Play sport whilst in the UK, as an • Seek employment, paid or unpaid (A merger of the old Sports • amateur, providing they are an • Coach, in any capacity Visitor, General Visitor and • amateur in their home country Business Visitor visas)

Any questions, regarding visa requirements or the accuracy of visa documentation supplied, must be directed to the relevant authorities, which are listed under point 4 below. The ECB also advises: 1. Clubs wishing to register a Category 3 (overseas) player must ensure that the player’s visa allows them to play. 2. The Home Office would consider any Category 3 (overseas) player as a “professional” if they cannot satisfy the “amateur” criteria laid out in the Home Office Immigration Rules for Cricket Overview effective from 1st January 2021. 3. Clubs must make their own checks and NOT rely on the information that an agent has provided them 4. There are sources of information available to support clubs considering an overseas player: a. ECB MANAGED MIGRATION WEBSITE – www.ecb.co.uk/managedmigration b. HOME OFFICE WEBSITE – https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office c. SPONSOR & EMPLOYER ENQUIRIES – BusinessHelpdesk@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk or 0300 123 4699 5. There are Home Office penalties for visa abuse. In cricket, the club chairman holds the legal responsibility for all activities in the club and is therefore the “Employer”. An employer who has not carried out the correct checks faces a penalty of up to £20,000 and the individual concerned (player) could be deported and banned from entering the UK.

(See administrative rule 4.3.3) of RECREATIONAL cricket registration.

There are three categories of player for registration purposes – covered under administrative rule 4.3.1: • Category 1 – ‘Eligible players’ – British Citizen & born in England and Wales or they have been resident in England and Wales for the immediately preceding 12-month period from 1st April to 31st March, specifically by having spent a minimum of 210 days in each such year in England and Wales. Plus – Participants playing in another country as a ‘Home Player’ will only be eligible as a Category 3 ‘Unqualified Player’. • Category 2 – a player qualified to play for England and has received emoluments as a cricketer from a first class county or played first class cricket overseas in the previous 12 months prior to registration. If the player has been a full member of the Club for three seasons prior to obtaining his contract, he will be recognised as “home grown”. • Category 3 – an overseas player, who does not meet the criteria of a category 1. The flow chart on the next page will help to categorise a player, by asking two or three questions at most. There are limitations to the number of non-category 1 players clubs may register and the number of non- category 1 players eligible to play in any one match. Definitions above must be read in conjunction with administrative rules 4.4-4.7.

PLAYER REGISTRATIONS AND TRANSFERS: • Category 1 players can be registered at any time, as long as no transfer is necessary. They can also be registered on the day of the match, using the emergency registration form, downloadable from www.southernpremierleague.com (administrative rules 4.3.3 and 4.6). • Category 2 and category 3 players may only be registered prior to midnight on 31st May. They CANNOT be emergency registered on the day of the match NOR can they transfer between clubs once registered (administrative rules 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8). In this case, the date of entry should be self- explanatory. • Category 2 and 3 players will have their registration removed at the end of September each year and will need to be re-registered, if required, for the next season. When registering a Category 3 player, the necessary accompanying documentation must precede a Play-Cricket application (further information is in the flowchart below).

144 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

• Category 1 players may transfer between clubs, prior to midnight on 1 July (administrative rule 4.8). This process is carried out via Play-Cricket. The new club will need to make an application to transfer the player and the current club will need to approve this application before the Registration Secretary can complete the process. Please NEVER assume a player is registered to play. Download the club “league registered player” database from Play-Cricket at the earliest opportunity, check the list and make any necessary updates. Print a copy of the list and make it available to the Club’s captain/s, before the first match of the season. This will be a reference confirming whether or not an individual will need to be emergency registered on the day of the match. The Registration Secretary will always endeavour to process Play-Cricket applications promptly. For any applications submitted after 6pm on a Friday or at any point on the day of the match (Saturday or Sunday), please support the electronic application with an emergency registration form signed by the two appointed umpires. Like many of you, the Registration Secretary also has match commitments and cannot guarantee the electronic application will be processed at any point over a weekend. A 5 point deduction will be applied to any team found to have fielded an un-registered player (administrative rule 4.3.3).

YEAR BOOK 2021 145 Southern Premier Cricket League Formal Warning Procedure

THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET

Rules & Regulations Rules Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsbility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains.

1. There are two Laws which place responsibility for the team’s conduct firmly on the captain. Responsibility of captains The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit of the game as well as within the Laws. Player’s conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions from an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decision of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct the latter to take action.

2. Fair and unfair play According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where required.

3. The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of: • Time wasting • Tampering with the ball • Damaging the pitch • Any other action considered to be unfair • Dangerous and unfair bowling

4. The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT for: • Your opponents • The roles of the umpires • Your own captain • The game’s traditional values

5. It is against the Spirit of the Game: • To dispute an umpire’s decision by word, action or gesture. • To direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire. • To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, for instance: • (a) to appeal knowing the batsman is not out • (b) to advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing • (c) to seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping.

6. Violence There is no place for any act of violence on or off the field of play.

7. Players Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution towards this.

The above matrix applies to individual incidents and identifies the start point for consideration only. If there are multiple incidents in the same game or situation, then they may either aggravate the initial incident or become an incident in their own right and be treated individually. However, multiple incidents may be combined when determining the seriousness of the total effect therefore affecting the totality of any action to be taken. This decision will be the sole responsibility of the Disciplinary Panel on the day of hearing. Please be aware that a Captain on formal report WILL receive a greater punishment than the matrix above may indicate. With regard to Formal Recorded Warnings, these will be accrued through the season and, from the issuing of a second such warning to an individual or Club, the League may commence disciplinary actions immediately or as deemed appropriate.

All clubs and players, by virtue of their registration with their respective League, explicitly agree to abide by this Code of Conduct, which incorporates the Spirit of Cricket, and are bound by the provisions in these Regulations. 1.1.2 The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, umpires and coaches. 1.1.3 Players and club officials must at all times accept the umpire’s decision. Players and club officials must show self-discipline, even when things go against them. This means not showing dissent at the umpire’s decision or reacting in a provocative or disapproving manner towards another player or a spectator. 1.1.4 Players and club officials shall not intimidate assault or attempt to intimidate or assault an umpire, another player, a club official or a spectator. 1.1.5 Players and club officials shall not use crude and/or abusive language (known as “sledging”), nor make offensive gestures or hand signals, nor deliberately distract an opponent. 1.1.6 Players and club officials shall not use language or gestures that offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate, threaten, disparage or vilify another person on the basis of that person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. 1.1.7 Players and club officials shall not use or in any way be concerned in the use or distribution of illegal drugs. 1.1.8 Players and club officials shall not make any public or media comment which is detrimental to the League, clubs, umpires or the game in general. In this instance, media shall include press, radio, television, external websites, club websites, social networking sites and club match programmes. 1.1.9 Players and club officials shall not disclose or comment upon any alleged breach of this Code. 1.1.10 Clubs must take adequate steps to ensure the good behaviour of their players, officials, members and supporters. 1.2 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, but also within the Spirit of Cricket. The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, umpires and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents.

148 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

Players Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution to this. 1.2.2 Unfair Play According to the Laws, the umpires shall be the sole judges of fair and unfair play. If either umpire considers an action, not covered by the Laws, to be unfair he/she shall intervene without appeal and, if the ball is in play, call and signal Dead ball and implement the procedure as required. 1.2.3 The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of: • Damaging the ball • Distracting the batsman • Unfair bowling • Time wasting • Damaging the pitch • Non striker leaving the ground early • Penalty runs Any other action that they consider to be unfair 1.2.4 Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket. • Respect the 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. 1.2.5 Violence There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play and if reported and guilty this act will be dealt with as a Level 4 offence. 1.3 Failure to comply with the provisions of the Code of Conduct may lead to disciplinary action, irrespective of a proven breach being related to a match not under the jurisdiction of the League. 2. BREACHES 2.1 A breach of the disciplinary regulations occurs when:- a. Any player in the course of, or in connection with a match, offends against the Code of Conduct or acts at any time to prejudice the good name of interests of the Leagues b. Any club fails to properly control or discipline its players or acts in a manner prejudicial to the good name or interests of the Leagues. 2.2 Any player or club committing such a breach shall be liable to penalties in the manner prescribed in this document. 2.3 A breach of the Code of Conduct will normally be categorised as Level 1, 2, 3 or 4, as set out in Appendix 1. 2.4 Reporting of Breaches 2.4.1 For a first offence of a Level 1 breach of the Code of Conduct in a match, the umpire (s) should issue a first and final warning which shall apply to all members of the team for the remainder of the match. 2.4.2 If the Level 1 offence follows an offence, at any Level, by that team, the umpire shall award 5 Penalty runs to the opposing team and will report the occurrence as soon as possible after the match to the

YEAR BOOK 2021 149 Executive of the offending player’s team and to the league responsible for the match, who shall take such further action as is considered appropriate against the captain, any other individuals concerned and, if appropriate, the team. 2.4.3 Should the umpire(s) consider that the first offence of a Level 1 breach is sufficiently serious, they have the authority to decide to submit a formal report without having previously issued any warning. The player and his captain should be advised accordingly. 2.4.4 In all instances of a Level 1, 2, 3 or 4 breach, the umpire(s) must complete a formal report for any Rules & Regulations Rules breach attracting a 5 run penalty or more. 2.4.5 The report should be submitted online via the league website. 3. PROCEDURE 3.1 Notification that a report is to be submitted following any alleged breach of the Code of Conduct must first be advised, by the umpire(s), to the player and his captain or an executive of the player’s club, on the day of the alleged offence, prior to leaving the ground. 3.2 Any such alleged breach of the Code of Conduct subject to a report (to be known as ‘a complaint’) will then be notified by email by the complainant to the Chairman of the League’s Discipline Committee (hereinafter referred to as ‘Discipline Chairman’) or his nominated deputy within 24 hours of the end of the match. The written report should be sent, via the league website, to the Disciplinary Chairman or his nominated Deputy and be received by the Wednesday evening following the end of the match. 3.3 The Discipline Chairman or his nominated deputy shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, inform the Secretary of the club against whom the complaint has been made. 3.4 It is intended that any breach of the Code of Conduct shall in the first instance be dealt with by the participant’s club who shall notify the Discipline Chairman within 48 hours of any action taken. In the case of Level 1 and Level 2 breaches, this shall as an indicator, be a minimum, of a final warning (Level 1) or two match (Level 2) ban to be served with immediate effect. 3.5 Within 48 hours of receipt of the written complaint, the Discipline Chairman or his nominated deputy shall consider the complaint and resolve either: a. To take no action except to record the complaint and notify the club; or b. To endorse any action taken by the club and confirm that no further action is required; or c. To refer the matter for a full Disciplinary Hearing. Level 3 or 4 complaints will automatically be subject to a full Disciplinary Hearing. 3.6 Any match/time sanctions imposed by the club under paragraph 3.5 b. above, shall be advised in writing to the relevant club’s County Board. Players should understand that match/time bans will normally apply to all cricket played under the auspices of ECB. 3.7 In the case of an incident involving a player under the age of 18 years old, the County Board Welfare Officer will immediately be informed. In such circumstances, the incident may be regarded as: a. A welfare and child protection case or b. An outright disciplinary case. If the incident is being investigated by another organisation (e.g. the Police, ECB Safeguarding Department) the League will await the outcome of that investigation. 3.8 In the case of a registered player being the subject of a complaint, the National Leagues & Competitions Manager to be advised immediately by telephone or email by the Secretary of the League and/or to the Chairman of the League or the Chairman of the League Disciplinary Committee. 4. DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS 4.1 In any case which is referred for a Disciplinary Hearing, the Discipline Chairman shall convene the hearing within 14 days of the decision to refer. Any delay may only be granted at the discretion of the Chairman of the Disciplinary Hearing. 4.2 Where a charge against a player is referred to a Disciplinary Hearing, his captain and club may be charged separately under their responsibilities as set out in the Code of Conduct above. 4.3 At least seven days’ notice in writing of the hearing shall be given to the player via his club Secretary.

150 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

In the case of a club, its Secretary shall be so notified. The notice shall specify the alleged breach(es) of the Code of Conduct above. 4.4 The accused player or club shall be entitled: • To submit written statements ahead of the hearing • To attend the hearing • To state his case (in the case of a club, by its Secretary or other official) • To be supported by a colleague and to call witnesses. 4.5 If the player or club is to have representation present at the hearing then the details of that representation must be given to the Discipline Chairman not less than 48 hours before the date of the hearing. 4.6 The Hearing shall be conducted by a Disciplinary Panel appointed by the Discipline Chairman and shall consist of not less than three persons and not more than five persons drawn from a list approved by the League’s Management Committee. None of the Panel should be connected with the player, the club or their opponents at the time of the alleged breach, or a club which might directly benefit from any disciplinary action. 4.7 A club or player involved in disciplinary proceedings will be solely responsible for meeting such costs or expenses as it or they may incur, including the cost of any legal or other representation. 4.8 The standard of proof shall be on the ‘balance of probabilities’ rather than the criminal standard of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’. 5. PENALTIES 5.1. As a guideline, the following indicative penalties should be expected to be imposed for any complaint referred and, if appropriate, proved at a disciplinary hearing. The higher end of the tariff band is most likely to be reserved for serial offences/offenders:- Level 1 Final warning to 6 matches and/or appropriate/equivalent time ban Level 2 2 to 8 matches and/or appropriate/equivalent time ban Level 3 4 to 10 matches and/or appropriate/equivalent time ban Level 4 A minimum of 10 matches and/or appropriate/equivalent time ban These sanctions apply to all cricket played under the auspices of ECB. 5.2 Where applicable, penalties will be carried over to apply in the following season. 5.3 Where the complaint is not referred to a Disciplinary Hearing, repeated infringements, listed on umpires reports, by an individual player or by a Club may still result in additional penalties as laid out in 5.4 below. 5.4 If at a hearing a breach of the Code of Conduct is proven, the Disciplinary Panel shall have the power to impose one or more of the following penalties, together with such order as to costs as it deems appropriate: In the case of a player:- • To require the player to submit appropriate letter(s) of apology within a specified time • To record a reprimand and to give a warning as to future conduct • To impose a fine, not to exceed £500 • To suspend the player for one or more matches, or for a stated period of time • To deduct League points from the player’s team • To expel the player from the League In the case of a club:- • To require the club to submit appropriate letter(s) of apology within a specified time • To record a reprimand and to give a warning as to future conduct • To impose a fine • To deduct League points from the club’s team

YEAR BOOK 2021 151 • To expel the club from any competition of the league • To relegate to any lower division of the League or to a ‘linked’ league. This will be subject to ratification at the Annual General meeting. 5.5 Panels will take the following factors into account when determining the penalties to be imposed: a. If the accused player/club has pleaded guilty b. The player’s previous disciplinary record

Rules & Regulations Rules c. If the player is also the captain d. The conduct of the player subsequent to him being warned and told that he will be reported e. If an appeal is considered to be spurious 5.6 In addition, where an individual behaves inappropriately or fail to respect the formality at any level during a Disciplinary hearing, the Disciplinary Panel assumes the right to impose further corrective actions or penalties as it sees fit. 5.6.1 Where a representative and/or witness(es) behaves inappropriately or fails to respect the formality at any level during a Disciplinary hearing this can be dealt with under the code by having a separate hearing. 5.7 The Disciplinary Panel shall have the power to suspend the operation of any part, or all, of the penalty it imposes for such period and subject to such terms and conditions it deems appropriate. 5.8 Decisions of the Disciplinary Panel (a finding that a complaint is proved or not proved or a decision on penalty) shall be by majority vote; where necessary the Disciplinary Panel Chairman shall have a casting vote. 5.9 The League shall report match bans in writing to the relevant club’s County Board for national circulation. Players should understand that match bans will normally apply to all cricket played under the auspices of ECB. The ECB Premier Leagues will also recognise suspensions from other Leagues. 6. APPEALS 6.1 Appeals shall only be allowed against an automatic ban instigated for a Level 1 or 2 offence on the grounds of mistaken identity, misrepresentation or failure of the umpires to follow the procedures in Paragraph 2 above. 6.2 Where a breach of the Code of Conduct has been proved at a Disciplinary Hearing, a player or club shall have the right of appeal. Where a player and his club are appealing in relation to the same incident, they must do so separately. 6.3 A notice of appeal setting out the grounds must be given in writing to the Discipline Chairman within seven days of the decision of the Disciplinary Panel, together with a deposit of £100 if the appeal is by a player or £250 if the appeal is by a club. 6.4 If a notice of appeal is given, the penalty shall not take effect pending the hearing of the Appeal, which shall take place as soon as is practicable and in any event within 14 days of receipt of notice of the appeal. 6.5 The Appeal shall be by way of a new hearing before a different Panel. The Appeal Panel shall be appointed by the Discipline Chairman and shall consist of not less than three persons and not more than five persons drawn from a list approved by the League’s Management Committee. None of the Panel should be connected with the individual or the club or their opponents, or a club which might directly benefit from any disciplinary action or have been a member of the original Disciplinary Panel. 6.6 The player or club shall have the same entitlements as set out in Paragraph 6.4 above. 6.7 If the player or club is to have representation present at the hearing then the details of that representation must be given to the Discipline Chairman not less than 7 days before the date of the hearing. 6.8 Non-attendance at a hearing of the Appeals Panel by the club or person that submitted the appeal without good and valid reason for such non-attendance will automatically result in forfeiture of their right of appeal.

152 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

6.9 The Appeals Panel may confirm, vary or reverse the decision of the Disciplinary Panel and it shall have the power to increase the penalty and award costs of the Appeal hearing and forfeit the whole or part of the deposit. Decisions of the Appeal Panel shall be by majority vote; where necessary, the Chairman shall have a casting vote. 6.10 The decision of the Appeals Panel or, if no appeal, of the Disciplinary Panel, shall be final and binding. 7. NON PAYMENT OF FINES 7.1 Any fine levied under these procedures or imposed for the breach of any match rule must be paid to the Treasurer of the League within twenty-eight days of the Club being notified of such fine. 7.2 Any fines still outstanding at the end of that period shall be increased by 100% of the original fine, when the Secretary or Chairman of the offending Club shall be notified to the effect that the fine is outstanding. They will be given a reminder that if after a period of fourteen days from that reminder, the fine is still outstanding, a deduction of five points shall be made from the points gained by the side that received the fine.

APPENDIX 1 – BREACHES OF DISCIPLINE Certain conduct, whether on or off the field of play, amounting to a breach of the Laws of Cricket and/or the Spirit of Cricket has been categorised into 4 levels which are set out below:- Level 1 a) Time wasting by either the fielding side or the batting side which results in a 5 run penalty or the bowler being disallowed from bowling any further in that innings in accordance with Laws 41.9 and 41.10. b) wilfully mistreating any part of the cricket ground, equipment or implements used in the match c) showing dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action d) using language that, in the circumstances, is obscene, offensive or insulting e) making an obscene gesture f) appealing excessively g) advancing towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing h) bowling a dangerous or unfair short-pitched delivery and/or an accidental non-pitching delivery that results in the bowler being disallowed from bowling any further in that innings in accordance with Laws 41.6 and 41.7. i) any other misconduct, the nature of which is, in the opinion of the umpires, equivalent to a Level 1 offence. Level 2 a) showing serious dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action b) making inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with another player c) charging or advancing towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing d) deliberate distraction, deception or obstruction on the field of play under Law 41.4 or 41.5. e) throwing the ball at a player, umpire or another person in an inappropriate and dangerous manner f) using language or gesture to another player, umpire, team official or spectator that, in the circumstances, is obscene or of a seriously insulting nature g) causing avoidable damage to the pitch that results in a 5 run penalty being awarded under Laws 41.12.3, 41.14.3 and 41.15.3. h) any other misconduct, the nature of which is, in the opinion of the umpires, equivalent to a Level 2 offence.

YEAR BOOK 2021 153 Level 3 a) intimidating an umpire by language or gesture b) threatening to assault a player or any other person except an umpire. c) using language or gesture that offends, insults, humiliates, intimidates, threatens, disparages or vilifies another person on the basis of that person’s race, religion or belief, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation or background.

Rules & Regulations Rules d) Deliberately bowling a non-pitching delivery which is deemed dangerous and unfair in accordance with Law 41.7 Level 4 a) threatening to assault an umpire b) making inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with an umpire c) physically assaulting a player or any other person d) committing any other act of violence. e) using language or gesture that seriously offends, insults, humiliates, intimidates, threatens, disparages or vilifies another person on the basis of that person’s race, religion or belief, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation or background. The conduct listed in Level 1 to Level 4 above cannot be considered to be exhaustive.

APPENDIX 2 - MUTUAL RECOGNITION CLAUSE It is intended that Leagues will work with Minor Counties and County Boards to ensure these Disciplinary Guidelines have the greatest effect. The first section refers to the sharing of information between cricket bodies and also advises the players this will happen: The League shall report match bans in writing to the relevant club’s County Board, who will also inform the ECB, in accordance with the conditions set out at a) to c) below. In the case of a Minor County Player being the subject of a sanction the Minor County Cricket Association must be advised. a. Information about penalties imposed under these discipline regulations shall be shared with individuals at the club and County Board on a need to know basis, for example with individuals who need to be informed in order to give effect to the penalty; b. Information about match bans held by the County Board shall be shared with other clubs only for the purposes of ensuring recognition of penalties by other clubs; and c. Individuals subject to these discipline regulations must be made aware by their clubs that by playing in matches under the jurisdiction of the ECB, they agree that information about penalties imposed on them will be shared with the County Boards, ECB and other clubs in accordance with these discipline regulations. The second section refers to the recognition of penalties imposed by others. The wording above has been agreed with ECB lawyers and the Cricket Discipline Commission and as a consequence it is appropriate for each League to add to the second section, highlighted below, to read as follows:- a. All clubs that play in ECB competitions or in County Board affiliated Leagues shall recognise and give full effect to any match ban, and/or any other penalty, imposed pursuant to by these discipline regulations by a League within that County Board boundary and the boundaries of the listed neighbouring Counties and Leagues (name of neighbouring Leagues to be inserted) Note:- All clubs that play in ECB competitions or in County Board affiliated Leagues shall also give effect to any match bans, and/or other penalties, imposed pursuant to any other disciplinary regulations as directed by the ECB.

Sources of advice and support Note: HCB = Hampshire Cricket Board Appendices ‘A’ Youth Criteria ‘B’ Grounds & Facilities Criteria 1. INTRODUCTION This short booklet provides a guide to the background, purpose, operation, and governance of the Southern Premier Cricket League (SPCL) Accreditation Scheme for Grounds and Youth Development. It brings together in a single document, information which has previously been available through a range of sources such as the League Handbook, AGM Reports, and Captains meetings. The SPCL Committee will update the booklet to incorporate future changes to the Scheme. 2. BRIEF HISTORY The notion of accreditation is not new in League Cricket in Hampshire. The former Southern Cricket League introduced an accreditation scheme in the early 1990s to address the generally poor quality of pitches, and to promote the development of coaching and Youth Cricket. The Hampshire Cricket League introduced a Grounds assessment scheme shortly afterwards. At the inception of the Southern Premier Cricket League, accreditation was strengthened as part of the drive to further improve standards at the top of the Club ‘Pyramid’ in line with the vision of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for the recreational game. All member clubs signed up to the accreditation approach as a condition of membership and by adopting the Club Charter. 3. PURPOSE OF THE SCHEME The purpose of the Accreditation Scheme is to promote continuous improvement, whilst ensuring that minimum standards continue to be satisfied. Participation in the Scheme is a condition of membership of the SPCL, and levels of accreditation are built into the eligibility criteria for entry to each of the four SPCL Divisions. 4. REGISTERING FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE SCHEME Any Club can register for participation in the Scheme by application to the SPCL Secretary. However given the practical constraints on resources available to run the Scheme, participation is effectively restricted to Hampshire Cricket League Clubs and Clubs from other Leagues which have ambitions of entry to the SPCL. Such Clubs are advised normally to allow themselves two seasons

YEAR BOOK 2021 155 following registration prior to possible entry so that any necessary improvements, identified during assessment, may be implemented. 5. STANDARDS The Accreditation Standards are set out in this Document and Appendix ‘A’ and Appendix ‘B’. The Standards are set by the SPCL. The Standards for pitches and outfields are supported by performance criteria and a rating scale which is applied at the end of each match by the Umpires and the visiting

Rules & Regulations Rules Captain. 6. PERFORMANCE 6.1 Grounds The minimum scores, averaged over a number of seasons, are - Gold Silver Bronze Pitch 29.00 Pitch 26.00 Pitch 23.00 Outfield 7.50 Outfield 7.00 Outfield 6.50 Overall 36.50 Overall 33.00 Overall 29.50 6.2 Facilities Facilities are checked against Appendix ‘B’ on physical evidence by Umpires and Grounds Assessors on the basis of ‘present/not present’ and reported accordingly. 6.3 Youth Development Gradings are checked against Appendix ‘A’ by the HCB Cricket Development Manager, using Club Mark Evidence Files and District records independently of the League Management Committee, (see 7. 3). 7. ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES 7.1 Grounds Grading of grounds is determined by the following: • umpires and captains pitch and ground markings • umpires and captains comments • ground assessors reports, where available. In particular, three questions are addressed within each tier of Accreditation (i.e. Gold; Silver & Bronze): Note - Clubs may be given interim Grading levels namely, Silver with Gold potential or Bronze with Silver potential for Grounds & Facility grading only • is the standard met consistently over the season? • is there the capability and capacity in groundsmanship to maintain the standard? • what is the trend over several seasons? Accreditation is only given when consistency has been demonstrated. Once given, grading is not normally lowered or withdrawn on the basis of a single season of lesser standard. It follows that grading is not normally improved or restored until consistency is proved over two or more seasons. However, exceptions may occur based on better or worse performances as may arise. A system of warnings from the League Committee is instigated to enable Clubs to remedy deficiencies, based on recommendations from the Chairman of the SPCL Accreditation sub-committee and HCB Pitch Advisor, and finally approved by the SPCL Management Committee. 7.1.1 Any new club wishing to enter the SPCL must give proof of a minimum of 15 years tenure of their Club and Ground. 7.2 Clubmark Accreditation Clubs playing in all divisions of the SPCL must have obtained Clubmark Accreditation. This requires clubs to complete an annual health check and be reaccredited every 3 years.

156 YEAR BOOK 2021 Rules & Regulations

7.3 Youth Development At the end of each season the HCB Development Team, will, via ClubMark Evidence Files and District records, assess and confirm, in accordance with Appendix ‘A’, the following. • the number of Colts games played at each age group, using information from District Associations records and league tables. • the ECB Qualified Coaches who are actively working with Colts in the club and have a current DBS clearance through ECB, using information obtained through the ClubMark process.

8. GOVERNANCE The Accreditation Standards are set by the SPCL, and particularly for the Gold Standard are heavily influenced by the Standards set for Premier League Clubs by the ECB. Monitoring of the Grounds and Facilities Standards is managed by the SPCL Management Committee. The Youth Development Assessment aspects of the Scheme are operated by the HCB on behalf of the SPCL. Any disputes over matters of fact are open to review by the Chairman of the HCB upon request by the club concerned.

SOURCES OF ADVICE AND SUPPORT Further information and practical support, in using the Accreditation Scheme to improve Club performance, including free grounds advisory visits, is available from: • the Secretary of the SPCL • the Secretary of the HCB • the Grounds Adviser of the HCB • the Cricket Development Manager of the HCB • the Chairman of the HCB Facilities Committee

YEAR BOOK 2021 157 APPENDIX A Youth Accreditation Criteria

CLUBMARK Rules & Regulations Rules Clubs playing in all divisions must have obtained ClubMark accreditation. This requires clubs to complete an annual health check and be reaccredited every 3 years

Number of games played per age group In addition to achieving and maintaining ClubMark, clubs must provide regular competitive opportunities for junior players: Gold must provide a minimum of 8 matches in 3 of the following age groups – U9, U11, U13 and U15 Silver must provide a minimum of 8 matches in 2 of the following age groups – U9, U11, U13 and U15 Bronze must provide a minimum of 6 matches in 2 of the following age groups – U9, U11, U13 and U15

CLARIFICATION AND SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 1. District league tables will be used to collate the number of games played in the first instance. If clubs do not fulfil the required number of fixtures for their current grading, the number of cup/friendly games played will be requested (score sheets may be requested) from the club. 2. A match that starts but is abandoned counts as a game played.

Concussion Protocol

Concussion is a complex and potentially significant brain injury that must be taken seriously. Failure to do so can have major immediate and long-term consequences.

ROLE OF UMPIRES / COACHES The player who is concussed is often not ‘knocked out’, but merely might seem slightly off-kilter. It can therefore be difficult to recognise a concussion, and in this situation, an umpire should seek the assistance from a person of authority within that player’s Club. Similarly, a coach should not expect a player to return to play unless he has been given the all-clear from a person of authority. The umpire / coach is not expected to diagnose a concussion episode. However, for any helmet strikes, ball impact injuries or concerns around a player’s medical welfare, they are required to call on to the field medical personnel or a responsible Club official. Education modules have been developed by the ECB and the MCC. The literature, guidance and modules are available on their website (see www.ecb.co.uk/concussion or https://www.lords.org/lords/news- stories/mcc-launch-new-elearning-module-to-educate-on-conc). A concussion can be one of the most complex and challenging injuries to diagnose and manage. Immediate care appears increasingly important, considering the developing awareness of the relationship between concussive episodes and early onset degenerative brain disease. Unlike the First Class game, the SPCL does not allow teams to use a “like for like” replacement for a player who has suffered a concussion or a suspected concussion. The Laws of Cricket shall apply regarding the usage of a substitute fielder. This protocol does not replace or supersede evaluation by a doctor or appropriately trained medical or healthcare professional.

CONCUSSION AND INJURY IN CRICKET The risk of concussion in cricket appears to be relatively low compared to some sports. However, there is a significant risk that the cricket ball can be projected at a high velocity directly at someone’s head, all within the Laws of the game. Although protective headgear is usually worn, it is not failsafe, not worn in all situations, and less commonly by fielders and umpires. Furthermore, design of helmets does not routinely cover well the occipital region at the back of the brain, despite any usage of additional protection. The development and use of additional protection in this area has been introduced but has no set standards at this time.

YEAR BOOK 2021 161 Concussion Protocol

Injuries leading to concussion are most common whilst in the process of batting but can also occur when in the field, especially in close fielding positions or if collisions occur. Concussion cannot be diagnosed through any one question, sign, symptom or test. It requires multiple

Rules & Regulations Rules modes of assessment that may need repeating before a careful reintroduction to the field of play. Because of this complex process, concussion is not only easily missed and underdiagnosed, but often results in inappropriate early return to play. It is now considered more than a simple functional disturbance.

ON-FIELD ASSESSMENT In the event of a head, neck or other injury which may result in a concussion, the appropriate medical personnel or responsible Club official should attend to the potentially injured player. They should consider going on to the field of play immediately in the following circumstances: • If summoned by an umpire. • If the player is down and/or calling for assistance. • If the player sustains any significant blow and/or shows any worrying signs i.e. dazed, confused, falls to the ground, exhibits a change in behaviour. When out on the field of play, the appropriate medical personnel or responsible Club official will need to undertake an on-field assessment using a recognised concussion recognition tool.

RECOGNITION OF CONCUSSION AND REMOVAL FROM FIELD OF PLAY If the appropriate personnel are called on to the field, a concussion recognition tool with amended cricket related questions should be used, even if the concussion is not immediately obvious. Recognising the concussion is perhaps the most important step in immediate management. Clues to concussion can include: • Severity of helmet strike • Any loss of consciousness or responsiveness • Slowness to get up, or lying motionless for any period • Blank or vacant expression • Balance or coordination problems – unsteady on feet • Disorientation or confusion – difficulty answering questions, unawareness of situation • Loss of memory • Visible facial or head injury

If the player has any features of the above, then they must be removed from the field for further assessment and/or resuscitated and stabilised as appropriate. If the testing is normal and there are no other concerns, then the player can stay on, and upon leaving the field will be monitored with repeated observations being recommended during the following 24 hours, using the clues and questions noted above.
