Southern Premier League champions Bashley (Rydal) could be back in action at the BCG after Easter.
Club cricket could return in England in the lead up to Easter according to the ECB’s own Covid-19 roadmap. See www.ecb.co.uk/covid-19 for some infographics.
Under Step 1 (B) of the return to play framework, subject to a decision on Monday [March 22], organised outdoor cricket – in line with last year’s guidance of 30 participants – can resume before the end of March.
Organised outdoor coaching and school cricket can also return from the same date, providing it is in line with government guidelines and safeguarding ratios.
Step 1 also states that grounds and facilities remain closed to spectators while maintenance is subject to a Covid risk assessment and plan. Clubhouses can open for restricted uses, including toilets, first aid and safeguarding, but changing rooms and showers must remain closed to everyone. No food and drinks can be served, either indoor or outdoor.
From Step 2, in place no earlier than April 12, spectators may return to grounds providing social distancing and social contact limits (e.g. group sizes) are observed. Outdoor food and beverage areas can also reopen in line with the two household limit or rule of six.
Indoor hospitality may reopen from May 12 at the earliest.
The ECB’s roadmap and the above steps are dependent on government reviews. Details of permitted activity from June 21 (step 4) onwards will be provided at a later date.
