Bassetlaw and District Cricket League Official Handbook 2017

42  (iii)  British Safety Standard The latest British Safety Standard is BS7928:2013  (for both adults and juniors).   The full list of helmets meeting this standard is available at  www.ecb.co.uk/helmets.   For wicket‐keeping face protectors the relevant  British Safety Standard is BS7929‐2:2009 (again, for both adults and juniors).  The ECB understands that there is currently no specific women's helmet and as  a consequence no specific standard for women's cricket helmets.  As the size of  the standard women's cricket ball is between the standard men and junior  balls, it is recommended that women use helmets that have been tested  against both the men's and junior sized ball, or at least against the junior size  ball (as that could potentially get through the gap above the face guard on a  men's helmet).  (iv)  What do Leagues and Clubs need to do Whilst it is strongly recommended that all adult recreational cricketers wear  helmets in the on‐field circumstances detailed above, it is not mandatory for  them to do so.  For the avoidance of doubt, Leagues or Clubs do not need to go  above and beyond the ECB’s recommendation by forcing their cricketers to  wear helmets.  However, Leagues and Clubs in recreational cricket should ensure that their  cricketers are made aware of the ECB’s above recommendation in relation to  helmets, including the need to check that any newly purchased helmets meet  the latest British Safety Standard.  The ECB recommends that Leagues and Clubs  bring the link above (i.e  www.ecb.co.uk/helmets)  to the attention of their  cricketers and encourage all cricketers to carefully consider their own health  and safety regarding helmet use.  Leagues and Clubs should always ensure that they have adequate public liability  insurance.  3.1.4 TEAM SHEETS  Each side must provide the Umpires with a team sheet before the start of the  match identifying any player in the U13, U15 or U19 age groups.  This  requirement also covers any young player taking the field as a substitute  fielder.  It is recommended that the ECB Team Sheet card as provided to clubs  is used whenever possible.  3.2 Rolling and Covering of Pitches  (i)  In addition to Law 10 the following will apply:  No rolling shall take place after the toss, except between innings, unless it is  with the consent of both Captains.  Any infringement of this rule will be reported by the Umpires to the LMC who  will deal with the matter at their discretion.
