manner. Play the game competitively, but always show respect to the
opposition and to the match officials. Sledging and dissent are
unacceptable. |

clubs that host the matches. Ensure that you use facilities properly
and, for example, always leave the changing rooms in a tidy condition.

Appropriate cricket training clothing may be worn for pre-match practice
as agreed with your manager. |
| Each District may have a different Dress Code (eg. Shirt and tie) as
determined by the Manager. Ensure that you conform to that code! |
| Players should arrive one hour before the start of the match, or as
requested by your manager. |
| It is important that, if selected for a match, that you contact your
manager immediately if you are injured, unwell or think you may not be
able to play. Do not hesitate; it is vital that the manager knows
immediately that you may be ‘doubtful’. |
| You are responsible for making arrangements to travel to matches,
though your manager will help organise those who have transport
problems. |

Enjoy Your Cricket.

E CB Fast Bowling Directives Change
The ECB Fast Bowling Directives have changed following a two year
consultation process. The outcome is that bowlers up to under-15 level are
now able to bowl longer spells and more overs in a day.
Under the new guidelines bowlers at under-16 and under-17 level are now
permitted to bowl an extra over per spell but those in the under-18 and
under-19 category have had the total number of overs they can deliver per
day reduced from 21 to 18.
These guidelines will come into effect for the start of the 2010 season.
The fast bowling guidelines are designed to raise awareness of the need
to nurture and protect young fast bowlers through their formative years.
Research has shown that fast bowlers are by far the most likely cricketers
to be missing playing and training time due to injury.

*For the purpose of these guidelines a fast bowler should
be defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would in normal circumstances stand back to take the ball.
Kevin Shine, ECB Lead Fast Bowling Coach, said: "The Elite Fast Bowling
Group has been researching injury prevention, performance enhancement and
workloads for the past four years.
"The new recommendations mean youngsters under the age of 15 can now bowl
an additional over in a spell and two overs more in a day. These figures are
over and above the original directives.
"It is clear that our young bowlers need to bowl more so that they can
develop match winning abilities and habits and I look forward to the revised
directives giving individual fast bowlers and teams more of a chance to play
match winning cricket."
The results included input from Clubs, County Boards, ECB Elite
Performance Group, which includes, ESCA, ECB Performance, ECB Development,
England Elite Player Development, ECB Operations, and HMC Schools.
