The rules for the 2023 season are to be found under the Rules tab on the website …..

Items where there are changes are highlighted in boldface and some are just in wording or reflect an up to date situation.

However you are asked to play particular attention to:

  1. Changes in Rules 13a governing Player Loans.
  2. Under Rule 13g the Youth Mobility Visa ban is removed.
  3. Rule 14e now states that Umpires Expenses must now be paid before the start of the match.
  4. Rule 14g introduces a Powerplay in the first 10 overs of the 50 over competition in Division 1. This reflects the wishes of the players’ survey taken some time ago.
  5. The changes to Rule 15c reflect a tightening up of the wording regarding the time allocated to matches where there are Panel Umpires as well as the MSC desire to speed things up.
  6. The points deduction for infringements specified in Rule 20 is now removed but the MSC will at their make additional fines for continual violations on a scale to be published shortly. Points deduction will be reinstated for the season 2024 should this new system be abused.

This information will also be sent out to Championship Representatives by email.
