League Rules re eligibility –

Under Middlesex Junior Cricket Association (“MJCA”) Rules -

Boys may play in league and cup matches above their own age level but not below.
Girls may play in girls’ league and cup matches above their own age level but not below.
Girls up to 17 years of age, may play in boys’ league matches in a team 1 year below their own chronological age group.  In the U13 and U15 boy’s cups, girls must play in their own age groups.

Dispensations for inclusion - MJCA Rules state that when requested by a Club on behalf of a parent, MJCA may use its discretion to enable children with disabilities to participate in an age group other than the groups dictated by their birth date, including “playing down” a year.

No Junior will be eligible for selection for any North Midd fixture unless his/her subscription has been paid.

A male player may only play junior cricket for one Middlesex club and may not represent any other club in another county in their junior competitions. Having played for one club in any particular league or cup competition, no male player may play for another club in that or any other league or cup competition during the same season. As well as preventing players from changing Clubs during the summer, this means that a male player who has played for one club in the summer can’t play for another Club in the winter indoor competitions.

Girls may play in MJCA Girls competitions for one Middlesex Club and play in MJCA Boys competitions for a different Middlesex Club, providing their Girls’ Club does not have a team in the same league as the Boys’ Club that they play for.
