  3. BEHAVIOUR AND DISCIPLINE
4th March 2022 by Cricket Leinster

BEHAVIOUR AND DISCIPLINE

The Spirit of Cricket is central to the playing of cricket. It is enshrined in cricket's Laws, summarised as "Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws, but also within the Spirit of Cricket.  The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, match officials and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents."

The purpose of Cricket Leinster's disciplinary process is to adjudicate on complaints of alleged breaches of the Cricket Leinster Disciplinary Regulations (CLDRs) or the Cricket Ireland Code of Ethics and Good Practice. 

This page gives information about the process and provides links to key documents.

The behaviour expected

Adherence to the Spirit of Cricket

Conduct that would not constitute an offence under regulation 2.6 of the CLDRs – see Cricket Leinster Disciplinary Regulations 

Adherence to the Cricket Ireland's Code of Ethics and Good Practice, specifically the three Codes of Conduct listed below:

  • Code of Conduct for youth representative players
  • Code of Conduct for Managers / Coaches / Volunteers
  • Code of Conduct for Parents / Guardians / Carers

How the Disciplinary process works

This is fully set out in the Cricket Leinster Disciplinary Regulations. Breaches of Cricket Leinster's Disciplinary Regulations will either be made by LCU&SA umpires, or by any other parties on this Incident Report Form

Who can make a complaint?

Where the alleged offence took place on the field of play or elsewhere within the sight or hearing of the Umpires, the Umpires must make a complaint.

The capacity of others to make complaints and the requirements to be met are set out in the Incident Report Form

Where the Disciplinary Committee decides that a hearing is required, the person against whom the complaint has been made (called “the respondent” in the Disciplinary Regulations) is entitled:

  • to be accompanied to the hearing by a supporter.  The supporter may be a work colleague, fellow player, family member or friend (the respondent is not entitled to be legally represented) and,
  • to call witnesses to give evidence at the hearing, and
  • to receive advice from the accompanying supporter during the hearing, to have the supporter question witnesses and make representations on their behalf and to seek procedural guidance from the Disciplinary Panel.

Cricket Leinster's disciplinary committee for 2022 is: Barry Collins (Chair), Peter Lacy, Philip Byrne, Neil Swaby, David Pigot, Vinay Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Upender Reddy
Mary Sharp is the Secretary to the Committee

The Decisions Appeal Board deals with any appeals against decisions of the Disciplinary Committee. The Decisions Appeals Board for 2022 is: Philip Furlong (Chairman), Walter Hosford, Sharon Lewis, Siobhan McBennett, Don Moore, Justin Rodgers, Frank Sowman
Mary Sharp is the Secretary to the Committee
