Please note that the bowler limitation rules were changed before the cancellation of last season’s competition (Rule 14b) and are:
Division 1 – 50 overs per innings – maximum 10 overs per bowler. For reduced overs matches, a maximum of 20% of the available overs per bowler (rounded up).
All other divisions – 45 overs per innings – maximum 12 overs per bowler.
40 overs per innings – maximum 11 overs per bowler
35 overs per innings – maximum 10 overs per bowler
30 overs per innings – maximum 9 overs per bowler
25 overs per innings – maximum 7 overs per bowler
20 overs per innings – maximum 6 overs per bowler
Where mutually agreed, matches for a duration other than listed above will use the nearest formula below the agreed number. e.g., a 37 over match will use the 35 over rule with a maximum of 10 overs per bowler.
Any player registered on play-cricket for a club anywhere in the country who wishes to register with a new club at the start of the season should have that registration approved before they play for the “new” club. The club they are leaving cannot reasonably object unless there are, for example, issues of money being owed by the player.
Any infringements of the above that took place on 17th April will not be penalised this week but clubs are reminded that penalties will be applied according to the rules of the competition henceforth
