2nd XI TEAM SHEETS

Date: 16th July 2019

MUST BE EXCHANGED AT THE TOSS!

Clubs are reminded of the need under the Laws of Cricket to exchange team sheets at the toss - for all sorts of very, very good reasons - not least that of proper Child Protection.

Management Committee is aware of alarming, well documented and multiple instances of this not taking place in some 2nd XI matches.

Playing Regulation 7.2 P57 covers this explicitly, its crystal clear and not optional.

7.2 Team sheets

7.2.1 In accordance with the Laws of Cricket each team shall provide a list of its players playing in the match before the toss. The ECB model team sheet shall be used for this purpose. In all 1st and 2nd XI matches the team sheets are to be given to the MCUA appointed or club appointed umpires respectively before the toss. In all 3rd XI matches if no appointed umpires are present the captains shall exchange team sheets before the toss.

7.2.2 In all 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI matches the team sheets shall be returned by the umpires to the home team captain/scorer at the end of the match and such official shall then ensure that they are forwarded to the appointed Assistant Results Secretary for the division together with the appropriate Match Result Form.

This exchange of team sheets will be monitored closely by Management Committee going forward.
