U11 PLAYING CONDITIONS

The Laws of Cricket (2000 Code) shall apply with the following exceptions:-

  1. The Pitch shall be 20 yards in length, the ball shall weigh 4.75 ounces and the stumps shall be 27 inches above the ground and 8 inches wide.)
  2. A team shall consist of 8 players (10 by prior agreement). Each game shall consist of 1 innings per side of 16 overs’ duration (20 overs if there are 10 players on each side).
  3. The batting side shall be divided into pairs and each pair shall bat for 4 overs.
  4. Batters shall have unlimited ‘lives’ but each time a batter is out 5 runs will be deducted from the total score. No batter who is out for any reason shall face the next ball. Batters shall change ends at the fall of each wicket, except on the last ball of the over.
  5. Each player on the fielding side must bowl, with the exception of the wicketkeeper. No player shall bowl more than 3 overs (4 overs in a 20-over game).
  6. The wicketkeeper shall not be changed, except in the event of injury, and may not bowl.
  7. In all divisions, excluding the Premier, a maximum of two extra balls per over will be allowed for wides and no-balls. Thereafter, any such balls will score 2 (plus any runs made off the bat or as byes) and no extra balls will be bowled.
  8. Each team shall commence its innings with a score of 200 runs.
  9. The winning team shall be the one scoring the highest number of runs after deductions for the loss of wickets. If these scores are equal then the game will be declared a tie.
  10. In all matches, no fielder except the wicketkeeper may field nearer than 11 yards measured from the middle stump of the batting end, except behind the wicket on the off-side.
  11. In the event of the umpires being satisfied that a player has become incapacitated during a game, that player may be substituted by a reserve who must be eligible (see League Rule 10), who may bat and/or bowl. If no reserve is available, any over(s) due to be played by the injured player shall be bowled by another player without exceeding that player’s quota. The manager of the fielding side shall choose one of the players in the first three pairs to bat a second time in the last pair.
  12. If a team only fields 7 players then the game may be played as per Condition 11. If less than 7 players are fielded then the opposing team may ‘claim’ the match or seek its rearrangement.
  13. Each team must provide an adult umpire who is, preferably, a qualified coach and not a relative of any of the players, as well as an adult scorer who fully understands these conditions and the principles of scoring. Both these individuals must have had a criminal record check, which has been verified by the club’s welfare officer, or completed a self-declaration form which the officer holds. (Adult means 18 or over.)
