Player Behaviour:

The MCC’s code of Laws updated Law 41 – Unfair Play, and Law 42 – Player Conduct, in 2017, with Law 41.7 – Above Waist Height Full Toss Deliveries (Beamers) further updated in 2019. It is important that everyone involved in the game from captains to umpires, coaches and administrators understand the changes to these laws and the impact it will have on their role.

Finally, players are advised to familiarise themselves with their own individual League and Competitions regulations in advance of the season.

Player Conduct :

Why is player behaviour so important?
The Laws and the Spirit of Cricket are there to ensure that all 22 players and umpires enjoy a game that, although played competitively, is always played fairly.

Whatever your role in the game, we all have a responsibility to ensure that the Laws are upheld and that we don’t tolerate any form of poor player behaviour.

Remember that poor behaviour detracts from the enjoyment of playing the game and causes additional work for volunteers by taking them away from supporting other areas of the game.

Introduction:
Law 42 is a new Law introducing on-field sanctions for unacceptable player conduct.

It is important to remember that captains are responsible for the behaviour of their players and umpires have always worked with them to achieve this. However, Law 42 now allows non-playing umpires to act on any unacceptable on-field conduct.

Working together, non-playing umpires will agree that the incident constitutes unacceptable behaviour and decide on what level has been breached.

Levels, Offences and Sanctions
The consequences of these offences are split into four levels, with specific sanctions for each level.
Sanctions for unacceptable behaviour range from a warning for a Level 1 offence, through to the non-playing umpire directing the captain to remove an offending player from the field for the remainder of the match for a Level 4 offence.
All levels of offence require a non-playing umpire to complete a mandatory report, to the League, in addition to the on-field punishment.

LEVEL 1 OFFENCES:

Abuse of the ground and/or equipment:

Deliberately hitting the stumps, deliberately throwing cricket bat, wilful damage to the ground, wilful damage to dressing room or windows, wilful damage to the sightscreens or other equipment.

Aggressive/excessive appealing:

Running towards the umpire, sustained appealing from a single delivery or using aggressive language or gestures while appealing.

Obscene, offensive and insulting language and gestures:

The umpire is responsible for deciding if language or gestures are obscene or offensive. If any one person regards language or a gesture as obscene or offensive, then the umpire will regard it as such.

Dissent:

Showing dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action.
