13. Minimum Age of Players

Introduce a regulation for minimum age of players (such as the Premier Cricket Reg 3B ).

"3. [B] No male player shall play in any Premier Cricket Competition until he is at least fourteen [14] years of age as at the commencement of the match, except with the approval of Queensland Cricket (see Policies Note: As a guideline, it is expected that players will first play with their Junior Club and subsequently in Premier Cricket Competitions. These players are encouraged to prioritise Junior Cricket so that participation in Premier Cricket Competitions is only in addition to playing with their Junior Club. For example, players may choose to participate in both Premier Cricket competitions and Junior competitions, but where circumstances arise that may prevent participation in both, players are encouraged to participate in Junior."


This reads a little like a policy statement (i.e. all that stuff about choosing to participate in Junior Cricket over other cricket etc) and could be adjusted so that young girls are not left out. So here's an edit.

PROPOSAL
