The Laws of Cricket
A great part of the appeal of cricket is that it must be played not only according to the rules, but also in the spirit of cricket.
​
The primary responsibility for ensuring fair play lies with those who exercise leadership, but it extends to all those who play the game, those who are referees and, especially in junior cricket, coaches and family members.
​
Cricket is an exciting game that promotes leadership, friendship and teamwork, and brings together people of different nationalities, cultures and religions, especially when played in the spirit of cricket.
