The NCJA encourages the development of girl
cricketers and demonstrates this by
a) in competitive matches permitting girls up to 2 years
older than
the boys' specified
age group to play ;
b) in all friendly matches
including older girl players according to
their ability.
This participation is dependent on team managers and coaches being
satisfied the players are
competent to participate and practical
arrangements are in place, if
applicable, in line with ECB 'Safe Hands'
policy. Team managers with
considerable numbers of older girl players
should advise the opposition
