The MCC’s new code of Laws has updated Law 41 - Unfair Play, and Law 42 - Player Conduct. It is important that everyone involved in the game from captains to umpires, coaches and administrators understand the changes to these laws and the impact it will have on their role.
ECB has provided recommendations on how these Law changes should be implemented to maximise more play and provide the best possible experience for players and officials. Importantly, this includes the differing responsibilities between non-playing and player umpires.
A new e-Learning style website has been set-up by the ECB in order to provide players from all levels on information regarding the new laws. The site can be accessed here:

Finally, players are advised to familiarise themselves with their own individual League and Competitions regulations in advance of the season.
