(a) In the event of a suspension, or suspensions of play, during the innings of the team batting first,the quota of overs per team will be reduced by such a number that will result when the total numberof overs in a match is reduced by dividing the minutes lost by three.

(b) In the event of a suspension of play during an over in the innings of the team batting first, and theinnings is not resumed, the over shall be considered to have been completed for calculationpurposes.

(c) In the event of a suspension, or suspensions of play, during the innings of the team battingsecond, the quota of overs for their innings will be reduced by the same calculation as in paragraph(a) above.

2. Bowling: In U13 games 7 bowlers must bowl at least 1 over and no bowler may bowl more than 4overs in any innings. U15 games no bowler must bowl more than 4 overs.Where a match starts with reduced overs, no bowler may bowl more than 20% of the total number ofovers, except that where the total is not divisible by 4. An additional over shall be allowed to each ofthe minimum number of bowlers necessary to make up the balance.

3. Batting: In Under 13 matches, when a batter reaches, or passes, the personal total of 30 runs theymust retire, but may return to the crease only when all the other players have batted. Retiredbatsmen must return in their order of retirement and take the place of the retiring or dismissed batter.The batter shall retire again when they score an additional 50 runs on their return to the crease ifthere is another batsmen available to bat. In the Under 15 matches the rule applies, however the runcriteria is increased to 40.

4. RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTAINING DISCIPLINE

a. Member Clubsi. The Club has overall responsibility for the behaviour of its members and maintaining discipline and,if it fails to properly control or discipline any person associated with the club with regard tomisconduct: it shall be answerable to a charge of ‘Unsatisfactory Conduct’

ii. Clubs are required to establish and operate their own Disciplinary Rules and Procedure, in a pro-active manner, in accordance with E.C.B. Disciplinary Guidelines and to ensure that they have thepower and machinery to deal with any misconduct by their players or members. Clubs should ensurethat they are adequately protected in situations where disciplinary action is required.

b. CaptainsThe Captain is also responsible at all times for the behaviour of his players and must ensure thatplay is conducted within the spirit of the game as well as within the Laws of Cricket. Failure to takesuitable action against an offender will render the captain liable to a charge of ‘UnsatisfactoryConduct’

c. Playersi. Players are required to conduct themselves in a proper manner at all times and should be fullyaware of, and comply with the requirements of, the ECB’s ‘Code of Conduct’ and ‘Spirit of Cricket’statements which are available via the IWCB website.

5. REPORTING AN INCIDENTIn order to maintain a high standard of behaviour it is important that any incident of misconduct orimproper behaviour is reported to the League Disciplinary Chairman with the utmost urgency.

a. Any complaint relating to incidents of misconduct or improper behaviour should be notified to theDisciplinary Panel Chairman within three days, following the incident, by telephone and be confirmedin writing. Any incident coming to the attention of the Disciplinary Committee outside this time, will inany event, be investigated by the Disciplinary Chairman and appropriate action taken.

b. Complaints or protests of a non-disciplinarynature, such as a breach of the LeagueRules, shall be submitted to the league orcounty secretary, to be dealt with by othermeans.

c. Upon becoming aware of an incident as perparagraph (a) hereof, the DisciplinaryChairman and Committee shall determinewhether:

i. Adequate action has been taken by the Clubii. The incident be recorded on fileiii. A written warning be issuediv. A Summary Penalty be imposedv. A Disciplinary Inquiry / Hearing beconvened

a) Caution or Reprimandb) Finec) Suspensiond) Deduction of League Pointse) Expulsion

b Club HearingClubs may well, within their own Disciplinary Rules, have their own levels of penalties. However anysuch penalties must be strongly linked with those utilised by the Board and any penalties imposedmust be of a degree of severity that is regarded as satisfactory by the Board Disciplinary Panel

8. Disciplinary Panel Actioni. Recorded on FileItems of a relatively trivial nature, which do not, in their own right, warrant disciplinary action, will berecorded on file. The Board Disciplinary Chairman will monitor such incidents and instigate actionagainst any individual who accrues a series of reports, which indicate an unacceptable behaviouraltrend.

ii. Written WarningWhere considered to be adequate action, the League Disciplinary Secretary shall issue a writtenwarning after consultation with the League’s executive officers.

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

Injury prevention for fast bowlers

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

For the purpose of these Directives a fast bowler should be defined as a bowler to whom a wicketkeeper 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 theyfollow the Directives in all cricket throughout the season.There are four main areas to be aware ofwhen assessing injury risk to fast bowlers:

1. Overbowling2. Technique3. Physical Preparation4. Equipment

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

Directives for matches:AGE: MAX OVERS PER SPELL MAX OVERS PER DAYUp to 13 5 overs per spell 10 overs per dayU14, U15 6 overs per spell 12 overs per dayU16, U17 7 overs per spell 18 overs per dayU18, U19 7 overs per spell 18 overs per day

Directives for practice sessions:AGE: MAX BALLS PER SESSION MAX SESSIONS PER WEEKUp to 13 30 balls per session 2 sessions per weekU14, U15 36 balls per session 2 sessions per weekU16, U17 36 balls per session 3 sessions per weekU18, 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 morethan four days in that period and for a maximum of two days in a row.Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent numberof overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. A bowler can change endswithout ending his current spell provided he bowls the next over he legally can from the other end. Ifthis does not happen his spell is deemed to be concluded. If play is interrupted, for any reason, forless than 40 minutes any spell in progress, at the time of the interruption, can be continued after theinterruption up to the maximum number of overs per spell for the appropriate age group. If the spell

ECB Fast Bowling Directives

H_Book_16:Layout 1 12/4/16 16:10

43

is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until theequivalent number of overs to the length of his spell before the interruption have been bowled fromthe same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more, whether scheduled or not, the bowler cancommence a new spell immediately.Once a bowler covered by these Directives has bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximumnumber of overs per day for his age group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can exceed themaximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalentnumber of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. If he bowls spinwithout exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as hereverts to bowling fast.

Nets:Outdoor:The emphasis on all nets should be quality rather than quantity. These Directives will encourageyoung fast bowlers to focus their efforts on shorter, more intensive spells. Consequently young fastbowlers should be made aware of the importance of warming up and warming down as part of theirpreparation.Indoor:In the period between the end of the cricket season and Christmas, indoor practise for fast bowlersshould be kept to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. The following highlights the risk of playing/practising onhard surfaces such as solid concrete and shows how these forces can be reduced by usingappropriate mats or indeed by practising on grass. Concrete offers 0% force absorption whereasgrass can offer up to 75%. The 34% offered by natural turf was measured at Trent Bridge on a rockhard 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 whenworking on the harder surfaces.

Force absorption and surfaces:Concrete 0% force reductionUniturf on concrete: 7% force reductionUniturf + mat: 15% force reductionUniturf + 2 mats: 31% force reductionNatural turf: 34% force reductionSynthetic + underlay: 49% force reduction

2. Technique: It is crucial that bowlers are encouraged to adopt a safe action early in theirdevelopment. 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 maintypes) are a major cause of back injuries, because they cause an unnecessary spinal twist.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 appropriatelyqualified cricket coach.

3. Physical Preparation: A well structured, cricket specific training programme is essential todevelop, and maintain, the strength, endurance and flexibility required for fast bowling. It is one ofthe most injury-liable non-contact activities in sport and the need for the fast bowlers to be amongstthe fittest and best prepared players in the team cannot be over emphasised. Bowlers should WARMUP and STRETCH thoroughly before bowling and training, and should WARM DOWN andSTRETCH afterwards. A good warm up helps to encourage a more professional approach, helpsteam spirit and can actually improve performance. It also helps to reduce the chance of an injuryoccurring

H_Book_16:Layout 1 12/4/16 16:10

44

4. Equipment: Impact forces of up to eight times body weight can be experienced during thedelivery 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 byabsorbing 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 alsoessential as they are designed to cope with the types of forces experienced when bowling on hardsurfaces.The year starting date of midnight on the previous 31st August is assumed throughout theseDirectives.

Safety Guidance on the Wearing of Cricket Helmets by Young PlayersIn February 2000 the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) issued safety guidance on thewearing 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 hardcricket ball in matches and in practice sessions

• young players should regard a helmet with a faceguard as a normal item ofprotective equipment when batting, together with pads, gloves andforboys, an abdominal protector (box)

• young wicket keepers should wear a helmet with a faceguard, or a wicketkeeperface protector when standing up to the stumps.

With the assistance of schools, cricket clubs and leagues, the wearing of helmets by young playersis now standard practice in cricket throughout England and Wales. Helmets are widely available andare covered by a British Standard (BS7928:1998). A face protector represents an alternative headprotection system for young wicket keepers. Face protectors are, at the time of publication of thisguidance, a relatively new innovation. Wicketkeeper Face Protectors are covered by a new BritishStandard (BS 7928 – 2 :2009).

The original guidance allowed parents or guardians to give their written consent to allow a youngplayer not to wear a helmet. However now parental consent not to wear a helmet should not beaccepted 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 cricketplayed with a hard cricket ball.

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

Guidelines for Junior Players in Open Age CricketThe ECB has issued guidance covering the selection and participation of young players in open agegroup cricket. This is to help clubs decide when to select young players in open age group cricketand how best to help their cricketing development when they play within open age groups. Theguidance applies to boys and girls. The ECB keeps these guidelines under review and,followingfeedback from clubs and leagues has revised these guidelines from the 2014 season. The ECB willcontinue to monitor the impact of these guidelines and you are invited to feedback your thoughts andcomments 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 anyplayer’s cricket experience. Ensure the player’s safety, personal developmentneeds and overall cricket experience are considered.

H_Book_16:Layout 1 12/4/16 16:10

• Clubs, squad coaches and managers must take into account the requirements onage detailed in this guidance.

• Each case is to be determined on an individual basis, depending on the player’sability 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 familymember or friend also playing in the side.

• Remember, children’s early experiences will remain with them always and will oftendetermine whether they want to remain playing the game or give up and dosomething 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 notsuccessful. Try and put them in situations where they will experience somesuccess (however small) and ensure plenty of praise and encouragement.

• The captain should inform the Umpires of under 18s in the side.RestrictionsECB Helmets, Fast Bowling Directives and Fielding Regulations should always be adhered to forjunior players in Open age group cricket.

Minimum AgePlayers who are selected in a County U12 squad in spring for a summer squad or in another squaddeemed by ECB Performance Managers to be of a standard above ‘district level’ for that season areeligible to play open age cricket.

This is providing they are at least 11 years old, are in School Year7 on 1st September in the yearpreceding the season, and have written parental consent to play. In allowing these players to play inopen age cricket it is essential clubs and coaches recognise the ‘duty of care’ obligations they havetowards these young players.

This means boys and girls who are county squad and area squad players, are able to play open agegroup cricket if they are in an U12 age group and are a minimum of 11 years old on 1st Septemberof the year preceding the season.

District and club players who are not in a county or area squads must wait until they reach the U13age group, be in Year 8 and be 12 years old on 1st September of the preceding year before beingable to play in any open age group cricket. As before written parental consent is required for theseplayers.The duty of care should be interpreted in two ways:

• Not to place a young player in a position that involves anunreasonable risk to thatyoung player, taking account ofthe circumstances of the match and the relative skillsofthe player

• Not to create a situation that places members of the opposing side in a positionwhereby 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 experienceyoung players should havein open age cricket. Clubs should provide an opportunity for players toshow their talents in an appropriate way. Children who are just used as fielders will not fullyexperience the game.

Every cricket square is different, whether it is maintenance you are

looking for, spring preparation, end of season renovations, or you are

fighting against the many problems that can interfere with your game,

such as lack of root growth, build up of thatch, uneven playing surface to

name just a few. I know I have the knowledge to help.

I can offer a full maintenance programme based on a monthly consultany

basis, should you wish to carry out some of the work yourself I can show

you rather than just tell you.

We can now supply Fertilisers and Grass Seed at very competitive prices.
