HELMETS IN SEASON 2024/25 Bangkok Cricket League (BCL) has adopted below Cricket Helmet Policies. This will apply to all games: A Division, B Division and Premier Division. This means all batsmen wear helmets. All batters MUST wear helmet at ALL Times. This means all wicketkeepers wear helmets when standing up to the stumps. Wicketkeepers can lose the helmet when standing back. This means wicketkeepers wear helmets when closer than 4m from the stumps. The umpires decide the distance whether keeper has to wear helmets or not. This means fielders wear helmets when closer than 7m from the bat except for gully to leg gully. The umpires decide the 7m and the gully positions. Broken or damaged helmets should be replaced and not used again. Cricket helmets should have a grill over the face and ears for enhanced safety and protection while wearing the helmet. When there's no official umpires captains should agree before the start of the game about: • Batters must wear helmets at ALL Times. All players Under 18 years of age or any Female player MUST WEAR a helmet when batting and wicket keeping and shall not be allowed to be a fielder within 6 meters in front of the batter. What if player doesn't wear a helmet when they should? • The umpire is not allowed to let the game go on till you do. • The Laws of Cricket already say – o Teams can lose 5 penalty runs for unfair time wasting. o Batters can be timed out. o The match can be awarded for refusal to play. o Teams and players can be reported to the Association and lose points, be fined or disqualified. BCL strongly recommends that all players wear good quality helmets from the 2022-23 season Key Features - Ball wont squeeze between the peak and grille of the helmet. - Ball wont pull the grille into your face - Greater coverage of the occipital area (behind the ear) to provide increased protection.
