Covering the pitch (Law 10)
Index


LAW 10 CHANGES

Full covering of the pitch is to be allowed as standard, now that most grounds have full covers; the previous Law only allowed the ends to be covered, meaning playing conditions had to state that the whole pitch may be covered. This Law needed to be modernised and has been done so as to include the covering of bowlers’ run ups, where possible

There is a minor amendment confirming that, after the toss in a multi-day match, the covers should be removed as soon as practicable on each day.
