The MSC have held an extensive review into an allegation of illegal payments to a number of players by one of our member clubs.
We have undertaken a thorough process. Having been provided with this evidence the MSC is satisfied that all players in question that are still playing at the club have never been paid for playing cricket at any time now or in the past.
This matter is now closed but clubs are reminded of the content of Rule 13g below:
No player shall receive any payment, inducement or provisions from any source whatsoever for playing in the Two Counties Cricket Championship.
N.B. PROVISIONS include benefits in kind; air fares, accommodation, cars, petrol tokens, etc. Where it is normal practice to pay bona-fide travelling expenses to bona-fide members, these can be allowed but the amount paid shall not exceed the cost of petrol, assuming 30 miles = one gallon (4.5 litres), and shall only be paid to the car owner/driver. In addition, the costs of public transport shall be evidenced. Any club in breach of this rule is liable to be expelled from the Championship.
