Dear Members,
Over the winter a Cricket Scotland working group have been reviewing Discipline processes, following the review and update of the CS Code of Conduct last year. Whilst doing so, some minor changes have been made to the Code. There is a strong desire to improve player behaviour and ensure, wherever possible, that where there are issues these are dealt with timeously, fairly and under a simpler and more uniform process than before.
1: Cricket Scotland Code of Conduct – Updated.
The Code of Conduct underwent a major review, based on the 2019 ICC Code of Conduct prior to the 2020 season. However, as that was essentially a “non-season” for competitive cricket, we believe that some clubs may not have been aware of the updated version. The only further change of note made now has been to add an anti-discrimination clause to it (the ICC have a separate Code for this).
The Code applies to individuals, and it is vital that all clubs, captains, players and officials are aware of the Code and its contents – if issues arise, ignorance of the Code will not be seen as a defence.
