Qualification for Mid Season Final and Order of Grades

After some email queries it is deemed important that Clubs are reminded of the order of grades for this season and qualification for the mid season. Under By-Law 11a ODA and ODB are rated higher that Fifth to Seventh Grade and this may have an effect on player qualification.  Please ensure you avoid disappointment and ensure that all your players in the one day finals are correctly qualified.

i. The welfare of players and umpires is paramount.

ii. The primary responsibility for ensuring the safety of individual participants are the individual players and Clubs.

iii. Individuals have a responsibility to withdraw from participating if their particular circumstances place them at an unacceptable level of risk. Clubs also have a responsibility in this regard.

Notice from Cricket West - Hot Weather

The current Perth forecast for Saturday afternoon is for 39 degrees between 2pm – 5pm. I recognise each association has varying rules regarding heat and will act within those rules. I have attached our current extreme weather guidelines for heat which I encourage you to familiarise yourself with. There is a specific Heat Stress Rating Index (HSRI) calculator included for senior cricket to guide appropriate action on or prior to match days. Reminding teams of the risks associated with heat and the options available to them such as extra or extended drinks breaks would be helpful for all players and their safety.
