Recreational Cricket CAN return

Following advice from the government and the ECB we await Guidelines for CONDITIONAL play from July 11th.

>>>
"We are delighted that the UK Government has given the green light for recreational cricket in England* to return from Saturday July 11.

The latest update from the UK Government signals progression from Step 3 to Step 4 of ECB’s roadmap to return for the recreational game, meaning competitive cricket matches in England with adjustments to respect hygiene and social distancing would be permitted.

ECB has maintained a constant dialogue with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) throughout this process and the UK Government have stated that COVID-secure guidance will be published in the coming days.

Guidelines are already prepared for the return of recreational cricket and following the Prime Minister’s comments, will now be finalised and published early next week."

The Management Committee are considering a POSSIBLE schedule of competitive and friendly fixtures and we will consult with all teams when the situation is made more clear during the week.
