BETTER PEOPLE MAKE BETTER CRICKETERS

Play by the rules;

Never argue with an umpire. If you disagree, have your captain, coach or manager approach the umpire in an appropriate manner during a break or after the game;

• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials and sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviours in cricket;

• Work equally hard for yourself and your teammates. Your team’s performance will benefit and so will you;

• Be a good sport. Applaud all good plays whether they are made by your team or the opposition;

• Treat all participants in cricket as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor;

• Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents. Without them there would be no competition;

• Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please parents, teachers or coaches;

• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
