This is to help clubs decide when to select young players in U14, U15 6 12 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 U16, U17, U18, U19 7 18 these guidelines under review. Put simply, the overall aim is to allow young players to develop in safety, but not to spoil the game for adults. For the avoidance of doubt, this guidance applies to training and nets as well as games, for men’s and women’s cricket, ECB Fast Bowling Directives and for the indoor game. The guidance is as follows: 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 General take the ball. • Making the step up from junior to open age group cricket is a significant event in any player’s cricket experience.

It is essential clubs and coaches recognise the ‘duty of care’ obligations they have towards young players in Open Age cricket. 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 fi elders will not fully experience the game.
