Progress on the Spirit of Cricket

Since the start of the competition, there have unfortunately been incidents on Dutch cricket fields — situations that have no place in our sport. As a result, disciplinary cases have been initiated, and we are closely monitoring the developments.

An overview of all (anonymous) cases can be found via the knowledge portal.

In addition, the Board Office is in close contact with the leadership of Dutch clubs to safeguard and strengthen the Spirit of Cricket together. We call on the entire cricket community to actively uphold these values and to play every match in the right spirit.
