Well that was a really cold day on Saturday and well done to all who survived and managed to complete a match……
There were however one or two issues with play-cricket results where clubs fielded ineligible players because they were not registered. Clubs are reminded that according to Rule 13b severe penalties will be imposed. In the interests of some leniency when all clubs were striving to get grounds ready and put sides with the difficuties many clubs have faced that Rule 13c will be imposed this week which will allow clubs to get their house in order before the unregistered players represent their club again.
If a player has not represented the club yet this season then they are a free agent to join another club of their choice. However play-cricket does impose a two week delay to give the “old” club a chance to object if, for example, money is owed or there is an outstanding disciplinary issue. After that two weeks has elapsed the registration will become valid. In the two week period however the “new” club can approach the”old” club and ask them to expedite.
