Updates from Cricket Scotland about returning to cricket this season.

An update from Cricket Scotland and the WDCU from just over a week ago, "which briefly commented on planning for a potential start to the season in late May/early June. This would give the possibility of a full or only slightly reduced league season if achieved, but will be dependent on a number of variables, most notably Scottish Government tiering and travel restrictions which are unlikely to be known for some time yet".

And from Cricket Scotland last Friday
COVID-19 UPDATE: Our updated COVID-19 guidance is now live on the CS website and has been emailed to clubs. Please share widely, keep sticking to the rules and we'll be one step closer to a cricket season in 2021. All the details are at the link below:

The key changes for cricket activity concerns adults (18+) youth (12 & Over) and juniors (Under 12).

1 Outdoor sport & group exercise – 12 and over
Up to 15 people can take part in outdoor non-contact sport or exercise (training or intra-club competition). This number includes coaches.

2 Outdoor sport & group exercise – Under 12
Up to 30 juniors can take part in outdoor non-contact sport or exercise (training or intra-club competition). This number includes coaches.

3 Travel restrictions
People should stay as close to home as possible, in line with current travel restrictions, however some flexibility will be given to under 18s allowing parents to drive under 18’s outside their local area for their regular organised group activity. Adults must stay within their own local area.
