4. Junior Availability & Selection


Player Availability

All players need to update Pitchero with their availability in order to be selected for matches. The deadlines for doing so are:

  • Sunday Fixture - by 10pm on Tuesday.
  • Other Fixtures - by 10pm five days before a fixture e.g. if a match is on Wednesday, the deadline is 10pm on Friday.

If you become unavailable after the deadlines above, you MUST contact the relevant team manager directly, in addition to updating your availability within Pitchero.


Team Selection & Notification

Team managers will notify players of their selection via Pitchero. The deadlines for publishing provisional teams are:

  • Sunday Fixtures - by 10pm on Thursday.
  • Other Fixtures - by 10pm three days before a fixture e.g. if a match is on Wednesday, the deadline is 10pm on Sunday.


The Selection Committee

All decisions on selection will be taken by the Selection Committee. This consists of:

  • Club Head Coach - Ian Hussain
  • Age Group Team Manager
  • Age Group Team Coach

The Club welcomes the active involvement and engagement of its players in decisions. Any person unhappy with selection decisions may ask for an explanation from the Selection Committee, via either the appropriate team manager or escalated to the Head Coach. However, we request that you put the needs of the Club as a whole before your own, and agree to abide by the decision for a particular weekend. This is to ensure disruption across all teams is minimised.


General Selection Criteria

For all teams, the following criteria shall always be applied:

  1. The key consideration will be payment of annual subscriptions and being fully up to date with any match fees. This is essential for any members club and all are reminded of their responsibility to do so.
  2. Other criteria considered will be ability, current form, general conduct and attitude, previous availability, attendance at training and general club contribution.
  3. All types of member will be prioritised over ringers.
  4. All players should have a role (batting, bowling etc) in the side. This is at the discretion of team managers and may change depending on the match situation, but should not be a regular occurrence.
