U11 PLAYING CONDITIONS
The Laws
of Cricket (2000 Code) shall apply with the
following exceptions:-
- 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.)
- 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).
- The batting side shall be divided into pairs
and each pair shall bat for 4 overs.
- 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.
- 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).
- The wicketkeeper shall not be changed,
except in the event of injury, and may not bowl.
- 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.
- Each team shall commence its innings with a
score of 200 runs.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
U13 PLAYING CONDITIONS
As for U11 except:-
