EXCESSIVE HEAT POLICY

Reminder to all players and umpires now that the temperature is heating up.

An additional drinks break will be taken on days when the Bureau of Meteorology has forecasted over 35 degrees.

The additional 30 minutes can be used for any delays occurred due to the additional drinks break.

Umpires may not refuse to allow batsman, or fielders a drink, but the unofficial drinks must not hold up play. Square leg umpires may hold drink containers, but they are for the use of both batsmen, fielders and umpires.

Stay safe this summer and remember to slip, slop, slap.
