WBBL Except as varied hereunder, the Laws of Cricket (2000 Code 6th Edition - 2015) shall apply. All references to ‘Governing Body’ within the Laws of Cricket shall be replaced by ‘Match Referee’ for the purposes of these playing conditions. Cricket Australia shall appoint a Match Referee who may meet with the umpires and captains prior to the commencement of the match to secure uniform interpretation of these playing conditions (other than the playing condition headed “Venue”) and to adjudicate, if necessary, should there be any dispute. 1. LAW 1 – THE PLAYERS Law 1 shall apply subject to the following: 1.1 Law 1.1 – Number of players Law 1.1 shall apply 1.2 Law 1.2 Nomination of players Law 1.2 shall be replaced with the following: (a) Each captain shall nominate her players in writing to the match referee before the toss. No player may be changed after the nomination without the consent of the opposing captain, with the exception of the Concussion Substitute which will be managed in accordance with playing condition 2.7. The players nominated shall include the selected emergency fielder (12th player) who may act as a substitute on the field (but need not include a Concussion Substitute, which will be managed in accordance with playing condition 2.7). However, in accordance with Law 2.2 any player may act as a substitute (including as a Concussion Substitute provided that is managed in accordance with playing condition 2.7). (b) The 12th player, or any other emergency fielder, must wear a distinguishing top from the players on the field when walking inside the fence but outside the boundary rope. 1.3 Law 1.3 – Captain The following shall apply in addition to Law 1.3(a): The deputy must be one of the nominated players. 2. LAW 2 - SUBSTITUTES AND RUNNERS, BATTER OR FIELDER LEAVING THE FIELD, BATTER RETIRING, BATTER COMMENCING INNINGS Law 2 shall apply subject to the following: 2.1 Law 2.1(a) (ii) shall not apply. A runner for a player when batting is not permitted. 2.2 Law 2.1(b) shall apply except that the umpire has no discretion to allow a runner for any situation. 2.3 Law 2.5 - Fielder absent or leaving the field Law 2.5 shall be replaced by the following: (a) If a fielder fails to take the field with her side at the start of the match or at any later time, or leaves the field during a session of play: 204 Playing Handbook | 2016-17 11 (i) the umpire shall be informed of the reason for her absence. (ii) she shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire (see Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. (b) If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes: WBBL (i) the player shall not be permitted to bowl in that innings after her return until she has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which she was absent. (ii) the player shall not be permitted to bat unless or until, in the aggregate, she has returned to the field and/or her side’s innings has been in progress for at least that length of playing time for which she has been absent or, if earlier, when her side has lost five wickets. (c) The restriction in playing conditions 2.3(b)(i) and 2.3(b)(ii) above shall not apply if the player: (i) has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field; (ii) has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness); or (iii) is a Concussion Substitute that has been activated in accordance with playing condition 2.7. (d) In the event of a fielder already being off the field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, she shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that she personally informs the umpires when she is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. (e) Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. ‘Wholly acceptable reasons’ should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a ‘comfort break’.
