In addition to this, there are NZC guidelines in relation to the umpires and scorers at COVID Level 2:
- Keep one metre physical distance wherever possible.
- Umpires should not hold items for the bowler (i.e. cap, sunglasses etc.). Instead, items can be left outside the boundary or given to teammates.
- Do not allow players to use saliva to polish or clean the ball.
- Captains/Coaches or other staff should only handle the balls from their own team.
- Umpires only to remake the wicket.
- It is recommended that umpires keep a bottle of hand sanitiser on their person throughout the game.
SCORING
- NZC recommends that all scoring should be e-scoring via an individual device – ideally only one user or the device must be sanitised prior to the next user.
- Should a paper scorebook be required, to minimise additional contact there should be only one-person utilising the book throughout the duration of the match. Should someone else be required to score, that person should supply their own pen.
- Keep one metre distance from scorers.
The club also requests all captains, coaches and/or managers to please make a list of all attendees to your respective games including the opposition teams’ players and supporters.
