The MSC find it difficult to rationalise the difference between a fixture cancelled while travel restrictions are in force and one cancelled for bad weather. Only 2 matches were completed on Saturday with most cancelled in the morning…..
So it has been decided that in any fixture cancelled without a ball being bowled, the affected clubs will be allowed to rearrange by mutual agreement on Sundays, BHM and where clubs have a “free” Saturday during the 22 week of the season. This temporary rearrangement rule will be in force for as long as there are travel restrictions – which of course may only be for the next two weeks. When fixtures are rearranged then please let Rick Jones know so that the fixture list can be amended on play-cricket. We would hope that, particularly in the leagues with a reduced number of teams, if the above regulation does not fit then a friendly match could still be played outside the remit of the Championship.
(Clubs with panel umpires officiating in their matches are reminded that according to the rules a match should not be called off without the agreement of a panel umpire.)
