     The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of Cricket as well as within the Laws.

    Players and team officials must at all times accept the Umpire’s decision. Players must not show dissent at the umpire’s decision or react in a provocative or disapproving manner towards the umpire at any time.

     Players and team officials shall not intimidate, assault or attempt to intimidate or assault an umpire, another player or spectator.

     Players and team officials shall not use crude and/or abusive language (known as ‘sledging’) nor make offensive gestures or hand signals nor deliberately distract an opponent.

    Players and team officials shall not make racially abusive comments nor indulge in racially abusive actions against fellow players, officials, members and supporters. Clubs must operate an active open door membership policy whilst respecting player qualification regulations and welcome players/members irrespective of ethnic origin.

     Players and team officials shall not use or in any way be concerned in the use or distribution of illegal drugs.

    Clubs must take adequate steps to ensure the good behaviour of their members and supporters towards players and umpires.

     

    The Spirit of the Game

     

    Responsibility of Captains

    The Captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws.

    Player’s’ conduct

    In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decisions of the umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first placed report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct the latter to take action.

    Fair and Unfair play

    According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play.

    The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where requested.

    The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of:

    • Time wasting
    • Damaging the pitch
    • Dangerous or unfair bowling
    • Tampering with the ball
    • Any other action that they consider to be unfair

    The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT for:

    • Your opponents
    • Your own captain and team
    • The role of the umpires
    • The game’s traditional values

    It is against the Spirit of the Game:

    • To dispute an umpire’s decision by word, action or gesture
    • To direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire
    • To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, for instance:
    • to appeal knowing that the batsman is not out
    • to advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing
    • to seek or distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side.

    Violence

    There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play.

    Players

    Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution to this.

     Safety Guidance on the Wearing of Cricket Helmets and face guards by Young Players

     The England and Wales Cricket Board has issued safety guidance on the wearing of cricket helmets by young players.

    • It is recommended that a helmet with a face guard is worn by young players when batting and when standing up to the stumps when keeping wicket against a hard cricket ball in matches.

    A young player should not be allowed to bat or to stand up to the stumps when keeping wicket without a helmet with a face guard against a hard ball except with written parental consent. Coaches, teachers, managers and umpires should always ensure that a young player wears a helmet if this written parental consent has not been received.

    Players should regard a helmet with a face guard as a normal item of protective equipment when batting against a hard ball, together with pads, gloved and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box). The face guard should be adjusted to ensure that the size of ball being used cannot pass between the peak of the helmet and the top of the face guard.

    There is a British Standard (BS7928:1998) for cricket helmets and it is in the best interests of players to ensure that their helmet and face guard conforms to this standard.

    The ECB is recommending that this guidance is followed by all players up to the age of 18. It applies to young players in adult cricket as well as to all junior cricket played with a hard cricket ball.

    The ECB is requesting that the guidance is communicated to the parents or guardians of all young players through clubs and schools, and that parental consent is always obtained before young players are allowed to bat or stand up to the stumps when keeping wicket against a hard ball without wearing a helmet with a face guard.

BARTON CRICKET CLUB - GUIDELINES ON PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE USE OF VIDEO

 

The ECB is keen to promote positive images of Young People playing Cricket and is not banning the use of photographic or videoing equipment. However, there is evidence that some people have used sporting events as an opportunity to take inappropriate photographs or film footage of Young People. It is advisable that all County Cricket Boards, Cricket Clubs and Event organisers adhere to the appropriate guidelines.

 

Use of images of Young People, for example on the web, in the media or in league handbooks

• Ask for parental permission to use their child’s image. This ensures that they are aware of the way the image is to be used to represent Cricket

• Ask for the Young Cricketer’s permission to use his/her image. This ensures that he/she is aware of the way the image is to be used to represent Cricket

• If the Cricketer is named, avoid using his/her photograph

• If a photograph is used, avoid naming the Young Cricketer

• Only use images of Young Cricketers in appropriate dress, to reduce the risk of inappropriate use, and to provide positive images of the Young Cricketers

• Encourage the reporting of inappropriate use of images of Young People. If you are concerned, report your concerns to the County Board or Club Welfare Officer

  

Using Video as a coaching aid:

There is no intention to prevent Club Coaches using video equipment as a legitimate coaching aid. However, Players and their Parents/Carers should be aware that this is part of the Coaching programme and care should be taken in the storing of such films.

The Parents/Carers and Young People must provide written consent for the use of photography and video analysis.
