MATCH RULES 

2. Salient Rules:  

General Cricket will be followed as per ICC guidelines for T-20 matches (https://images.icc cricket.com/image/upload/prd/vtlex7fs28mukkavtgev.pdf). Typical UCL rules that may be  different from those ICC rules or require emphasis because of commonly occurring confusion  around it, are listed below:

A. No LBW dismissal, thus no leg bye runs. Further, if a ball hits the leg first and then the bat,  then no run(s) can be scored, as this is deemed to be leg bye(s). But if a batter attempts to  take a run off a leg bye and is run out, then the batter is considered out.

B. Bounce-based No Ball: 2 or more bounces before crossing the batting/popping crease is a  No Ball, not a Dead Ball. No Ball decision to be given by the Leg Umpire, who can consult  with the Main Umpire before giving a decision. Ultimately, the goal is to get the decision  right. Such a No-ball will result in the next delivery being a “Free Hit” when the batsman  cannot be dismissed by catch, bowled or stumped. A batsman can only be given out off a  free-hit in 3 possible ways:

(i) run out

(ii) for hitting the ball twice willfully (and not accidentally and not when stopping the ball  from hitting the wicket if it is not a potential catch) or  

(iii) for obstructing the field.  

The free hit continues until the bowler delivers a legal delivery.

C. Height-based No Ball: A ball above the batsman’s waist when the batsman is in his normal  batting position is a No Ball. If a delivery is deemed to be a No Ball because of its height,  then the batsman can only be given Run Out. Further, a Batsman cannot be Bowled even if  the ball hits the stumps if the delivery is deemed to be a height-based No Ball by the Leg  Umpire. Such a No-ball will result in the next delivery being a “Free Hit”.

EXAMPLE OF A NO-BALL RESULTING IN ILLEGAL BOWLED OUT

D. Switching Batting sides: For LHS, batting ends will switch at the start of over 8 to reduce  wear & tear of the field. Example, Team A will play overs 1-7 from Side N and overs 8-14  from Side S. Team B will do the same for the second innings. In Lexington, side N is the side  toward the swimming pool.

E. Power Play Definition: During a Power Play over, only 3 fielders are allowed outside the  Inner Circle at the time of delivery. If more than 3 players are outside the Power Play Inner  Circle, then either of the 2 Umpires can call the delivery a No Ball. For non-Power Play overs,  there needs to be a minimum of 3 fielders inside the Inner Circle other than the wicketkeeper  & the bowler.

F. Power Play Distribution & Selection: In total, 3 overs (out of 14) will be designated as  Power Play overs for each inning. Overs 1 & 8 in each inning will be mandatory Power Play overs. The batting team will choose the 3rd Power Play over between the 2nd and the 10th over (both inclusive). If the batting team has not chosen their 3rd Power Play over already,  then the 10th over becomes the 3rd Power Play over automatically, and will be called out by  the umpires. The batting team must announce their selection of the 3rd Power Play to the  Umpires before the beginning of the over and, once made, this decision cannot be reversed.  The bowling team has the right to change the bowler once, after the batting team has  decided on a Power Play over.

G. Retired hurt: A batter can be retired hurt at any time and can only come back to bat again  in the same innings after a minimum of 6 other batters have batted in that innings.

H. Chucking: If a bowler is considered to be blatantly and visibly Chucking (excessive bending  of elbow during bowling), then the batting team captain can appeal to the umpires. If both  the umpires agree to Chucking, then the umpires will warn the bowler and the bowling team  captain. Any repeated Chucking after the warning can be called a No Ball by the Umpires.  Continued Chucking can lead to the umpires barring the bowler from any further bowling in  that inning.

I. Wooden Bat only: Only wooden bats can be used in all UCL Tournament games. Bats made  with Fiber composite or metal or any other non-wooden material cannot be used under any  circumstances.

J. No Fielding gloves: Gloves of any kind are not allowed to be worn by players when fielding,  with the exception of the wicketkeeper. If players want to wear gloves because of inclement  weather conditions, then the captains of both the playing teams must agree to it and inform  the umpire of their mutual decision. Otherwise, fielding wearing gloves is deemed as fielding  with an external object (like catching with a cap) and will result in 5 penalty runs.

K. Wide Ball: The wide ball line is for guidance to the umpire with respect to the batter’s  batting position at the time of delivery of a ball by the bowler. If the batter moves outside of  the off stump when or before the ball is delivered (not after the ball is delivered), then the  wide line should also move further away, assuming it retains the same distance from the  changed position of the batter as the original distance of the wide line from the off stump.  While consideration of a delivery to be too wide for the batsman to reach is subjective, the  umpire is strictly required to be consistent with their determination of wide balls throughout  a match. The captain of the fielding team may ask the umpire for their basis of deciding a  wide ball, so the decision making process can be transparent and checked for consistency.

L. Impact Players:

Teams can leverage a maximum of 2 (TWO) Impact players per game, from their fixed roster  of 15 players to allow more players more opportunities to play. This will also add a new  tactical and strategic dimension to the game.

Substitute players from other teams cannot be used as an impact player.

In addition to the playing XI, a team will have to list 2 (TWO) potential replacements (aka  Impact Players) before the start of game/ before the toss. The team can use none or any one  of the two as their Impact Player. A captain can nominate the team's Impact Player and the  Impact Player can be introduced at any of the following stages:

1 Before the start of the innings

2 After an over finishes

3 At the fall of a wicket or if a batter retires

However, if the bowling side brings in an Impact Player during an over - at the fall of a  wicket or if a batter retires - then that particular player will not be allowed to bowl the  remaining balls of that over.

The replaced player will take no further part in the match. Not even as a substitute fielder. Batting Impact player: Only 11 players can bat. So if the batting team's Impact Player is a  batter who replaces a batter who has been dismissed/retired, then one of the players yet to  come in will be replaced and the replaced player will not bat.

Bowling Impact player: When the bowling team brings in their Impact Player, they will be  allowed to bowl their full quota of 3 (three) overs irrespective of the number of overs bowled  by the player they are replacing. For example, say a team has a fast bowler and bowls them  out at the start of the innings. In theory, they could then replace that bowler with a death overs specialist - their Impact Player - who can still bowl 3 overs (in a complete, non shortened game) or the maximum overs allowed per bowler in a curtailed game. Remember,  if the bowling team brings in their Impact Player in the middle of an over, they will have to  wait till the end of the over before that player can bowl.

The Impact Player cannot be used as a Captain.

A Team is not compelled to use an Impact player even if 1 or 2 Impact players have been  named in the roster.

For a non-impact player, if a player has been outside the field for more than 2 overs, then  the player can bowl only after they have been back on the field of play for at least 2 overs.

TOURNAMENT RULES AND GUIDELINES 

3. Tournament Format

Spring Season: All 10 Teams in Super Bash and all 10 Teams in Big Bash play each other  once during the League stage. At the end of the league stage, Knockout games will be played  as per the published format in the Tournament Schedule.

Summer Season:

All 10 Teams in Super Bash and all 10 Teams in Big Bash play each other twice during the  League stage. At the end of the league stage, Knockout games will be played as per the  published format in the Tournament Schedule.

Summer Tournament Format and schedule will be finalized before the end of the Spring  Tournament.

4. Game Composition:

Each match is made up of a maximum of 28 overs broken into 14 overs per team per innings  and each innings is to be completed in 50 minutes.

Each team has to use a minimum of 5 bowlers, with a maximum of 4 bowlers who can bowl a  maximum of 3 overs each in a 14-over innings. In a reduced over match, over restrictions  per bowler will be determined by the same ratio.

5. Time Penalty:

A. If a team fails to complete their 14 overs in the allocated time, then a D/L formula will  be applied. D/L calculation is different for first inning and 2nd inning interruptions and  this should be taken into account at the time of recalculation. Officiating crew has the  full authority to make this decision and their word will be the last.

B. Umpires, Scorers and the Game Organizing Committee (GOC) will have jurisdiction of  calculating the D/L based scores and to any exception to the Time Penalty rule in case  of delay from unusual circumstances like serious injuries to a player during the game, match equipment or venue infrastructure failure, intentional batting side delay etc.  Number of overs for available time will be calculated at 3.5 minutes/over.

6. Tied Match Rules:

A. In the league matches, a Tie at the end of the regular 14-over-over match will result in  both teams receiving 1 point each.

B. In the knockout phase, for a Tied match the higher ranked team from the league phase  will be the winner. If still tied, then the head-to-head record between the teams in the  Summer Tournament will decide the winner.

7. League Stage Ranking Rules:

A. A Win will earn a team 3 points and a Tie will earn a team1 point in the league stage  games. Teams are ranked based on points accrued at the end of all the matches. B. There are no points associated with match officiating by UCL players.

C. For teams with the same points, a simple Net Run Rate (NRR) calculation from all the  league matches will be the tie-breaker.

D. NRR (as per ICC rules) is calculated based on total runs scored / (Number of matches  played x Total allocated overs per match).

Clarification: if a team is all out for 140 in 12 overs in a 14-over match, the NRR is  10.00 and not 11.66

E. If teams are tied even after NRR calculation, then NRR in the head-to-head games

                       between the teams would be used as a tie-breaker. If still tied, then the team losing  

                       fewer wickets in all the league games together would be ranked higher. In case teams  

                       are still tied, the final decision will be made by a toss to determine the higher ranked  

                       team.

8 Match Officiating Responsibilities: 

UCL’s Game Organizing Committee (GOC) will put in best efforts to provide paid neutral  umpires for each game.

The umpires are responsible for setting up the camera(s) in each game for live streaming of  the game in UCL’s broadcasting channels.

9. Rain Effect:

Decision to reschedule or split points for any abandoned or incomplete game will not be  taken immediately after that game, but taken within 2 days of the event, upon discussion  between UCL’s governing bodies.

(i) If heavy rain or thunderstorm washes out a league game or interrupts before both teams  have played at least 7 overs each, then the points will be split equally between the 2 teams,  each getting 1 point. If both teams have played at least 7 overs each, the result would be  based on NRR at the end of those 7 overs.

(ii) If rain interrupts after the game has started, but before the 7-over rule can be applied,  and the match officials decide to discontinue the game, then the match will be deemed tied  and each team will get 1 point.

(iii) In case of a rain interrupted game with reduced overs, the revised target will be  determined by D/L method as available in the Scoring App. When applying the D/L formula,  it is important to be mindful of whether the first innings or the second inning was  interrupted. This can significantly affect the D/L calculation.

(iv) If the start of a game is delayed, then the match officials will decide the starting time of  the game and decision to abandon the game, if necessary, will be taken with 70 minutes left  to the end time, so that a 7 overs-a-side match can be completed within 60 minutes. If at the time the officials decide to play a curtailed game and one of the teams is not  available to play the game and the other team is available, then the available team will be  declared winner and given 2 points.

(v) To calculate the number of overs to be played in the available time, officials will calculate  based on 3.5 minutes/over. (This is based on 50 minutes/14 overs).

(vi) Decision to play, curtail or abandon a game will be determined by the Umpires in  consultation with the Games Organizing Committee (GOC).

(vii) Rain Effect rules are also applicable to power outage, serious injuries and other possible  incidents beyond the organizer’s control.

Please note that the turfs we use are designed to be played on under wet conditions.

10. Team Roster

Each team can have a maximum of 15 and a minimum of 11 (all of them UCL registered)  players in the roster, at any given time. It’s each team’s responsibility to manage their roster

and ensure all the members get enough games. UCL does not bear any responsibility to  ensure every player in a team’s roster is happy with their cricketing opportunities.

Team Match Composition

A Team can play a game if they have a minimum of 7 players from their roster of UCL  registered players. Failing to field a minimum of 7 players for a game would result in  forfeiting the match. The team with 7 or more players, but with less than 11 players can get  up to 2 substitute fielders from the opposition team. Any additional fielder beyond the 2 is at  the opposition captain’s discretion. The team with less than 11 players can have a maximum  of 2 players bat twice, if required. The players who can bat twice will be approved by the  opposition captain.

Impact Players

Clubs can leverage up to 2 Impact players from their team to promote players to get more  opportunities to play. 13 Players can be submitted in CricClubs ScoreBooks per game. Please  see clause 9 above for detailed rules for Impact Players.

Populate Rosters

1 Captains must pre-populate rosters in CricClubs by noon on the game day

A second window of roster change for the Summer  Tournament is allowed from August 1 to August 10. After August 10, no more roster changes  are allowed until the end of the Tournament. During this Second Summer Roster Change  Window, a team can only replace a player with another UCL registered player, and not add  a completely new player. The Second Summer Roster Change Window is included specifically  to accommodate season-ending injuries or unforeseen circumstances like relocation or long  work travel etc. at a crucial time of the season, when even with remaining 15 players, it may  be an unfair disadvantage to a team.

A team can make a maximum of 2 roster changes per transfer window and no more than a  total of 4 roster changes from the start of UCL’s 2025 Spring cricket season until the end of  UCL’s summer-fall outdoor cricket season.

(ii) Removing a player; any refund associated with such changes is the Team’s responsibility  and not UCL’s responsibility.

(iii) Replacing a player; any refund associated with such changes is the Team’s responsibility  and not UCL’s responsibility.

11. Player Recognition:  

At the end of each month, a Green Cap for highest Wicket taker for the month and a Red  Cap for the highest run aggregator for the month will be awarded. The statistics for this will  include games only from the league stage of the tournament. This will be given to the winner of the previous month to be worn for the entirety of the next month, by the opposition  captain in that player’s first match of the month.  

12. Team Representatives:

Each team will designate a Team representative who is not the Captain or the Vice-Captain of  the Team and would:

(i) Represent the Team for discussion with the UCL committees for any issues, complaints,  reviews etc.

(ii) act as the liaison between their Team and UCL committees

(iii) provide a list of Game Officials for every month, at the beginning of each month; all of  such Game Officials need to be already trained by the Teams 2 designated Game Officials,  and already Certified by UCL’s Game Organizing Committee (GOC)

(iv) ensure the Team provides Game Official (pre-selected Officiating member from their  Team) for a designated officiating game as per the schedule; inform the GOC of any changes  in Officiating personnel from the original list

(v) become a voting member of the Code of Conduct and Ethics Committee (CCEC) (vi) act as a member of the above committee, will hold the Captain and the Vice-Captain of  their own team also accountable for code of conduct of the team, and ensuring the game is  played in the right spirit

(vii) REPs are responsible for live streaming of their team’s game. They must ensure camera  pickup/setup/drop off activities with documentation from IT to set up the feed. GOC will  manage the Camera rotation duties among the Reps for a given match.

Team Communication:

Please refer to the Communications Protocol from the link:  

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ddCL7upDptG9wIwtzAgiaEPFPpC0msia1cNKXbNCX ug/edit?usp=sharing.

To streamline the communication between teams and the various organizing committees,  CRO and Vice-CRO will be the main points of liaison between the teams and UCL. CRO (Chief Representative Officer) Role/Responsibilities:

1. Nominated by UCL management

2. Acts as the liaison between their Team Reps and UCL management

3. Acts as mentor for new Reps and promotes the UCL code of conduct and ethics and  provides them onboarding tools and guidance  

4. Promotes resolution of issues, concerns, feedback received from Team Reps in the  Reps group first. In case of a stalemate, or if further discussion is needed, follows  the UCL communication Protocol to bring it to the attention of the appropriate UCL  committee(s) in the Book Keepers group

5. Attends monthly UGB committee meetings and raises issues, concerns, feedback  which haven’t been addressed by or remain unresolved with the normal UCL  

communication protocol channel  

Deputy CRO (Chief Representative Officer) Role/Responsibilities:

1. Nominated by UCL management  

2. Works closely with with CRO and helps with the CRO related tasks

3. Fills in as interim CRO when CRO is unavailable and performs all the responsibilities  of the CRO as outlined above

13. Game Official Key Responsibilities:

In 2025, all the teams are provided with game kits. This includes a set of wickets with a  heavy base, a pair of lighting bails, box of balls and marker cones.  

In each game, each playing team is responsible for setting up their stumps and  cones. Teams will take back their stumps and cones at the end of the game and remain  responsible for their game kits for the entire season. Game balls will be replenished by UCL  to all the teams in a scheduled manner.

(i) Game Officials are responsible for umpiring and scoring in the selected scoring app. (ii) They must ensure the field is set up by both the playing teams as per the rules before  the beginning of a game.

(iii) They are responsible for enforcing all the rules and guidelines of UCL

(iv) They be capable of controlling the temper and fairness of a game

(v) Match Report: At the end of every game the umpires must fill in the comments in the  match summary section of the CrickClubs scoring app. This is where they must capture any  untoward incident (in the umpires’ opinion) before, during or after a game either on or off  the field and report the same to the CCEC. If there are no reportable incidents then the  umpire must state so, but every match scorecard must have umpires’ comments in the  match summary.

Game Official Group:

(i) Each Team will designate 2 Game officials, who cannot be the Team’s Captain, Vice Captain or Representative.

(ii) They will be trained by UCL on Umpiring, Rules and the Scoring App.

(iii) The 2 Official Designates will train the other designated Organizing Officials (iv) A nominated Game Official from a Team can be removed from the Umpiring panel, if  playing Teams complain about poor quality of umpiring by the same Game Official on more  than 2 occasions.

14. Scheduling Conflict: 

Many players play in multiple leagues, both within and outside of UCL. Any conflict in the  schedule of overlapping games between the various leagues must be sorted by the conflicted  teams and players. UCL is not responsible for rescheduling games or managing such  conflicts.

Ideally, as a best practice teams should maintain their player availability for the entire  session and plan for contingencies before the start of the session. Proactively planning  player availability and requesting swaps before the start of the session will avoid surprises.  Player availability template can be downloaded here:  

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CzzGt78RH5j5WYy62mVolDfTMTXuB eU/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102927781166688809444&rtpof=true&sd=true

At the same time, UCL’s cricket is a community event for cricket-loving amateurs and by  volunteers. Best effort is always towards completing as many games as possible. For any  possible reason, if a team is unable to coalesce the minimum required number of 7 players,  to try to avoid a walk-over and losing a game, a team should use the Reps group for a  rescheduling of the game. The Chief Representative Officer (CRO) and the 2 involved Teams’  Reps can work with the GOC and Scheduling committees for a possible schedule change. There are 2 possible changes:

(i) Game swap: A simple swap of the game with another scheduled game, where all 4 teams  involved agree to the swap

(ii) Opposition swap: In a game involving teams A & B, for example, if team A has  insufficient required minimum players of 7, team A can be replaced with a team C to play  against team B, when a game between teams B & C has been scheduled for the future. The  original game between teams A & B will be played later, on the original date of the game  between teams A & C.

Either of these possible changes needs to be confirmed at least 3 days before the originally  scheduled game that is being changed.

15. Code of Conduct and Ethics:

UCL Cricket Bash is as much a social platform as it is an opportunity for a game of cricket.  Therefore, UCL places uncompromising emphasis on players’ and teams’ conduct both on and  off the field during any UCL event.

To ensure objectivity and consistency in maintaining a code of conduct, UCL has a Code of  Conduct and Ethics Committee (CCEC) comprising the designated Team Representative  of each team, as defined in Clause 12 and the person in charge of the committee. The Team  Representative as a CCEC member cannot be the Captain or the Vice-Captain, because the  Captain/Vice-captain will also be held jointly-accountable for any misconduct/ breach of the  code of conduct by any of his team’s player(s). All misconduct incidents, as determined by a  match’s designated Game Officials group, will be sent to the CCEC for review and for  appropriate action. Punishment will increase exponentially for repeat perpetrators. The  punishment will range from a warning to one to multiple-game suspensions to expulsion from  all UCL games. Season fees will not be refunded for expulsion. Each Club management to be  held responsible/accountable for player misconduct so it shouldn't be left to UCL to step in at  every instance.

Conversely, teams may provide umpiring and officiating feedback and grievances to the  GOC, who will review such feedback and discuss further with CCEC and with the UCL  Governing Body, if necessary.

All incidents brought to the CCEC will be discussed by the members and any remedial action  or related resolution adopted to address a particular situation will be decided by majority of  votes among the 7 of the 9 members of the committee. Reps of the 2 involved teams would  be recused from such votings.

Allocation of maximum overs per bowler in a shorted game with reduced  maximum over per innings:  

Key Points: The rule is such that the total available overs need to be distributed among a minimum  of 5 bowlers

A team can use as many different bowlers as they want, even all 11 players if applicable, but a team  must use a minimum of 5 bowlers in any given completed innings, unless the batting side is all out  before all the overs are bowled

No bowler can bowl 3 overs if the maximum overs in an innings is below 10.

Disclaimer: These rules and guidelines have not been written by lawyers or meant to serve any legal  purposes. Teams are requested to accept them in the intended spirit of upholding the fairness and  sportsmanship of the games; and to avoid uncertainties and conflicts arising from conceivably obvious  situations. Thank you!
