Upon becoming aware of an incident as per paragraph (a) hereof, the Disciplinary Chairman and Committee shall determine whether: i. Adequate action has been taken by the Club ii. The incident be recorded on file iii. A written warning be issued iv. A Summary Penalty be imposed v. A Disciplinary Inquiry / Hearing be convened 6. COURSES OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN FOLLOWING AN INCIDENT In order that disciplinary incidents can be dealt with speedily it is essential that both Clubs and the Board Disciplinary Panel work closely to ensure that any penalties imposed against an offender are both appropriate and effective. a. Club Disciplinary Hearing In the event of an incident involving one of their players, members or supporters occurring, clubs are required to instigate their own investigation and take appropriate action against offenders, irrespective of whether the incident has been reported to the Board Full details of such action, together with full minutes of the club’s disciplinary hearing, must be forwarded to the Board’s Disciplinary Chairman, within fourteen days of the date of the incident. Upon receipt of this information, the Disciplinary Chairman, in consultation with the Disciplinary Committee, will determine the adequacy of the action taken by the club and will either: i. Confirm that the action taken is appropriate or ii. Instigate a formal enquiry and Disciplinary Hearing

7. PENALTIES a. General The Disciplinary Hearing, whether at club or league level, shall impose such penalties, as they UNCHANGED consider appropriate and in accordance with the schedule of penalties laid down by the Board UNCHANGED from time to time, which shall be published. Such penalties shall include and are not limited to: a) Caution or Reprimand b) Fine c) Suspension d) Deduction of League Points e) Expulsion b Club Hearing Clubs may well, within their own Disciplinary Rules, have their own levels of penalties. However UNCHANGEDanyUNCHANGED such penalties must be strongly linked with those utilised by the Board and any penalties imposed must be of a degree of severity that is regarded as satisfactory by the Board Disciplinary Panel 8. Disciplinary Panel Action i. Recorded on File Items of a relatively trivial nature, which do not, in their own right, warrant disciplinary action, will be recorded on file. The Board Disciplinary Chairman will monitor such incidents and instigate action against any individual who accrues a series of reports, which indicate an unacceptable behavioural trend. ii. Written Warning Where considered to be adequate action, the League Disciplinary Secretary shall issue a written warning after consultation with the League’s executive officers.

iii Summary Penalty Upon receipt of a report in accordance with 5-a above, the Disciplinary Chairman shall determine whether the alleged offence can be adequately dealt with by way of a summary penalty.

35 The Disciplinary Chairman shall have the power to impose a Summary Penalty on an individual following inappropriate action. Summary penalty is defined as unacceptable conduct or behaviour warranting a penalty ranging between a caution, reprimand, or suspension (not exceeding two weeks). A Summary Penalty will become effective from, and inclusive of, the Saturday following the date of the incident subject to a minimum of 48 hours notice. Where 48 hours notice cannot be given, the date of implementation will be deferred for seven days. A summary penalty may be imposed in conjunction with, addition to, or independently of, any action taken by the club.

iv Disciplinary Inquiry / Hearing Where the action taken by the club is considered to be inappropriate or inadequate and the level of the alleged offence is considered to be too serious to merit a ‘Recording’ or ‘Summary Penalty’, the Disciplinary Chairman shall instigate an inquiry and/or Disciplinary Hearing. Such a Hearing will take place within 14 days of the receipt of a written report or the findings of a club hearing. A minimum of seven days notice of a Hearing will be given to all parties 9. DISCIPLINARY ENQUIRY The decision and penalty, if any, shall be on the basis of a simple majority vote. No person who is connected, in any way, with any Club or persons involved in potential or actual disciplinary action shall be involved in either the investigation or hearing. a. The decision of the Disciplinary Panel shall be given at the meeting, to be confirmed in writing as soon as possible thereafter and will be put into effect at the date thereof subject to any possible appeal. In the event of an appeal being lodged, the penalty shall be suspended until determination. No further discussion or submissions will be taken at the meeting. b. The Chairman, whose decision shall be final, shall determine the conduct of the hearing; this shall be in accordance with the procedures laid down hereafter. Clubs must submit details of all internal hearings to the League Disciplinary Chairman, setting out the nature of the charge, the verdict and the penalty c. Summary Penalty A Summary Penalty may be imposed by a club or the League Committee within the following limitations ii. Caution or reprimand iii. Suspension - maximum of two weeks – commencing on, and inclusive of the following Saturday The Board Disciplinary Panel shall have the right to impose one or more of the penalties set out in paragraph ( 9-a) above The Schedule of Disciplinary Penalties, as published prior to the start of the season shall be regarded as Guidelines but may be varied by the Disciplinary Panel, either in a lenient or more UNCHANGEDsevereUNCHANGED manner, where it is felt circumstances require such action UNCHANGEDUNCHANGED 10. DISCIPLINARY HEARING PROCEDURE 1. INTRODUCTION a. There is no restriction on the evidence that can be presented, provided that it is relevant to the matter b. The standard of proof applied by the Disciplinary Committee will be on the basis of balance of probabilities rather than any complaint having to be proved beyond any reasonable doubt. 2. PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES a. The Chairman will conduct the meeting and introduce the members of the Disciplinary Panel, together with any witnesses that may be called. The Respondent will then introduce any witnesses who have been called in response to the complaint. b. The Disciplinary Secretary will outline the procedure to be adopted at the meeting. but an enquiry into the incident. c. The Respondent will be asked whether the allegations made are admitted or denied before the hearing proceeds in the manner set out.

36 d. The Disciplinary Secretary or such other person as shall be appointed on his behalf will outline details of the complaint and the evidence that will be produced. 3. THE HEARING a. The evidence supporting the complaint shall be presented with any witnesses giving verbal evidence. The witnesses may be asked questions by members of the disciplinary panel and thereafter, the Respondent will be able to do likewise. The witness will then be asked to leave the meeting. The next witness, if any, will do the same. No witness will be allowed to ask questions of the Respondent. b. After evidence in support of the complaint has been given, the Respondent will have the opportunity to produce such other evidence that he has in support of his case. This will be presented in the same way as the evidence of the earlier witnesses with members of the Panel being able to ask questions in order to assist then in reaching a decision about the matter. c. At the conclusion of the evidence in response to the complaint, the Respondent may make a closing statement, before he is asked to leave the meeting to enable the Panel to deliberate and consider their decision. 4. THE DECISION a. The Disciplinary Committee will first of all reach a decision on the complaint based on a majority. If the complaint is found proved then the committee will consider the penalty to be imposed, expenses and costs on the same basis and take into account any previous Disciplinary record involving the Respondent and/or Club. b. The Respondent will be brought back into the meeting and the decision of the Committee will be given. c. If the complaint is proved, the Disciplinary Secretary will inform the Respondent of the right of appeal and the steps that need to be taken. d. The Chairman will close the meeting and will not allow any further submissions or comments either about the decision, penalties imposed or any other matter.

11. APPEAL PROCEDURE In the interest of justice any club, player, official, spectator or individual who has been handed a penalty in respect of a disciplinary issue shall have a Right of Appeal. Such appeals will be heard by an entirely new panel whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties. In order to be valid, an appeal against the findings of a Disciplinary Hearing must be received, in writing, by the Board Chairman within two days of the original hearing or imposition of a penalty. The appeal must specify the grounds for the appeal and in relation to findings and penalties. Any appeal must be accompanied by a deposit of £50 which will be retained, either wholly or partially if the appeal is not totally successful. Any appeal following the imposition of a Summary Penalty must be lodged within two days. The offender shall be entitled to request a Disciplinary Hearing in connection with the decision and/ or penalty imposed. Should such a request be made, a Disciplinary Hearing will be arranged to take place no later than 7 days from that date, Such hearing to be conducted by the Disciplinary Appeal Panel, whose decision shall be final. UNCHANGEDUNCHANGED UNCHANGEDUNCHANGEDNo notice of appeal will be accepted in the event of failure to give such notice in accordance with this rule, save that the Disciplinary Appeal Panel shall have the power to accept an appeal out of time only in exceptional circumstances.

Methods of appeal are as follows: a. Re. Club Hearing An appeal against a decision made, and penalty imposed, at a club disciplinary hearing will, usual- ly, be considered within the appeal arrangements specified within the club’s Disciplinary Rules. However the appeal may be conducted by the Board Disciplinary Appeal Panel if:

i. Either the club or the individual request this course of action An individual, having been issued with a Summary Penalty may lodge an appeal which will be considered by the Board’s Disciplinary Appeal Panel

41 ECB Fast Bowling Directives Injury prevention for fast bowlers

These Directives apply to girls and boys, and any reference to he/his should be interpreted to include she/her.

For the purpose of these Directives a fast bowler should be defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would, in normal circumstances, stand back to take the ball.

All coaches are urged to identify those players with the potential to bowl fast and to ensure they follow the Directives in all cricket throughout the season.There are four main areas to be aware of when assessing injury risk to fast bowlers:

1. Overbowling 2. Technique 3. Physical Preparation 4. Equipment

1. Overbowling: This is an important consideration especially for young bowlers whose bodies are not fully developed. Recent studies have revealed that overbowling is a common cause of back injuries. Evidence suggests that much of the damage occurs early in the playing career, especially during growth spurts, though the effects do not often show themselves until the late teens. The more talented and more physically mature youngsters are generally most at risk, as they tend to play at more than one age group level. To ensure that young fast bowlers do not place undue stress on their bodies, every attempt must be made to keep the amount of bowling within reasonable limits. The following Directives provide sensible playing and training levels.

Directives for matches: AGE: MAX OVERS PER SPELL MAX OVERS PER DAY Up to 13 5 overs per spell 10 overs per day U14, U15 6 overs per spell 12 overs per day U16, U17 7 overs per spell 18 overs per day UNCHANGEDUNCHANGEDU18, U19 7 overs per spell 18 overs per day

Directives for practice sessions: AGE: MAX BALLS PER SESSION MAX SESSIONS PER WEEK Up to 13 30 balls per session 2 sessions per week U14, U15 36 balls per session 2 sessions per week U16, U17 36 balls per session 3 sessions per week U18, U19 42 balls per session 3 sessions per week

For guidance it is recommended that in any seven day period a fast bowler should not bowl more than four days in that period and for a maximum of two days in a row. UNCHANGEDUNCHANGED Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. A bowler can change ends without ending his current spell provided he bowls the next over 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. Once a bowler covered by these Directives has bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximum number of overs per day for his age group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can

42 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.

Nets: Outdoor: The emphasis on all nets should be quality rather than quantity. These Directives will encourage young fast bowlers to focus their efforts on shorter, more intensive spells. Consequently young fast bowlers should be made aware of the importance of warming up and warming down as part of their preparation. Indoor: In the period between the end of the cricket season and Christmas, indoor practise for fast bowlers should be kept to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. The following highlights the risk of playing/ practising on hard surfaces such as solid concrete and shows how these forces can be reduced by using appropriate mats or indeed by practising on grass. Concrete offers 0% force absorption whereas grass can offer up to 75%. The 34% offered by natural turf was measured at Trent Bridge on a rock hard Test Match pitch. These figures have major implications for limiting indoor work in the winter, particularly for seamers, and for ensuring that length and intensity of sessions are considered when working on the harder surfaces.

Force absorption and surfaces: Concrete 0% force reduction Uniturf on concrete: 7% force reduction Uniturf + mat: 15% force reduction Uniturf + 2 mats: 31% force reduction Natural turf: 34% force reduction Synthetic + underlay: 49% force reduction

2. Technique: It is crucial that bowlers are encouraged to adopt a safe action early in their development. Bowlers should either have a SIDE-ON, a FRONT-ON or a ‘MIDWAY/NEUTRAL’ action, but SHOULD NEVER MIX THE ACTIONS. The mixed actions (of which there are two main types) are a major cause of back injuries, because they cause an unnecessary spinal twist. UNCHANGEDUNCHANGED Excessive hyperextension of the back during the delivery stride is also a contributing factor. For further clarification of mixed actions consult the ‘ECB Coaches Manual’ or an appropriately qualified cricket coach.

3. Physical Preparation: A well structured, cricket specific training programme is essential to develop, and maintain, the strength, endurance and flexibility required for fast bowling. It is one of the most injury-liable non-contact activities in sport and the need for the fast bowlers to be amongst the fittest and best prepared players in the team cannot be over emphasised. Bowlers should WARM UP and STRETCH thoroughly before bowling and training, and should UNCHANGEDUNCHANGEDWARM DOWN and STRETCH afterwards. A good warm up helps to encourage a more professional approach, helps team spirit and can actually improve performance. It also helps to reduce the chance of an injury occurring 4. Equipment: Impact forces of up to eight times body weight can be experienced during the delivery stride. Without the appropriate footwear, these forces must be absorbed by the feet, ankles, knees and lower back of the bowler. It is therefore essential that bowlers minimise these effects by absorbing them with the use of efficient, well-fitting, cushioned boots or shoes and if required, absorbent insoles. The use of running shoes, basketball-type boots or good cross trainers is also essential as they are designed to cope with the types of forces experienced when bowling on hard surfaces. The year starting date of midnight on the previous 31st August is assumed throughout these Directives.

43 Safety Guidance on the Wearing of Cricket Helmets by Young Players In February 2000 the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) issued safety guidance on the wearing of helmets by young players up to the age of 18. In brief, the guidance recommends that: • helmets with a faceguard or grille should be worn when batting against a hard cricket ball in matches and in practice sessions • young players should regard a helmet with a faceguard as a normal item of protective equipment when batting, together with pads, gloves and forboys, an abdominal protector (box) • young wicket keepers should wear a helmet with a faceguard, or a wicket keeper face protector when standing up to the stumps. With the assistance of schools, cricket clubs and leagues, the wearing of helmets by young players is now standard practice in cricket throughout England and Wales. Helmets are widely available and are covered by a British Standard (BS7928:1998). A face protector represents an alternative head protection system for young wicket keepers. Face protectors are, at the time of publication of this guidance, a relatively new innovation. Wicketkeeper Face Protectors are covered by a new British Standard (BS 7928 – 2 :2009).

The original guidance allowed parents or guardians to give their written consent to allow a young player not to wear a helmet. However now parental consent not to wear a helmet should not be accepted in any form of cricket.

This guidance applies to all players up to the age of 18, both in adult cricket and in all junior cricket played with a hard cricket ball.

The guidance also applies during all practice sessions. Any individual taking responsibility for players should take all reasonable steps to ensure that this guidance is followed at all times.The ECB asks that the guidance is communicated to the parents or guardians of all young players through clubs and schools, and that young players are not allowed to bat or stand up to the stumps when keeping wicket against a hard ball without wearing appropriate protection. 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 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 UNCHANGED UNCHANGEDUNCHANGED 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.

44 • 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 Year7 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.

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 anunreasonable risk to that young player, taking account ofthe circumstances of the match and the relative skills ofthe 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 havein 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 UNCHANGEDUNCHANGED UNCHANGEDnotUNCHANGED fully experience the game.
