ECB Anti-Discrimination Code 2023
The Spirit of Cricket
Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws, but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains.
There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct firmly on the
captain.
1. Responsibility of captains
The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the
Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws.
In the event that any player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising
by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving i a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the
first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct
the latter to take action.
2 Fair and unfair play
According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play.
The umpires may intervene
