    The World Blind Cricket Council Core Document 2. Ratified October 2005 Second Revision @ January 2007 Updated May 2007 THE WORLD BLIND CRICKET COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL PLAYING RULES This document was Re-written and amended by: Tim Guttridge for the World Blind Cricket Council In this document He, His, Him, Player, Batsman Fielder, and Bowler all refer to Both genders. No individual will be excluded from any level of international competition due to race, religion, gender or age. QUOTE FROM THE MCC LAWS OF CRICKET 2003 The Spirit of Cricket “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 responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains. There are two Laws which place the 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. 1. Players’ conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decisions 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.

  • Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12Th 'B' Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher
    ON Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12th ‘B’ Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher – Rajender Sir http://www.facebook.com/nitinkumarnik Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School No. 3 INTRODUCTION Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals. Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. The ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.
