ARCL game format - Rules and regulations
Teams are required to print out these rules and keep a copy with them. These rules can be used in case of a controversy. In the absence of these rules or if the particular situation is not covered in the rules, then teams must follow the ICC Cricket Rules and if they are not able to find it there then the neutral umpire’s decision will be final. If a rule is missing please email arclorg@arcl.org explaining the situation and we can update the rules as needed.
Rules were last updated on 08/06/2024.
The changes are highlighted in yellow and will take into effect from Summer

o
If
the match (league or playoff match) is stopped due to bad weather and it’s
beyond 3/4 (eg in case of 16 overs match, 3/4th match means 16 overs of
first innings and 8 overs of the second innings) then the team with higher run
rate wins the match.

Games
that are affected due to WEATHER or circumstances that are not in ARCL’s
control will NOT be rescheduled. The game will either be considered abandoned
or if more than 3/4th of the game was played then the rule above applies.

Note:
If there are multiple players with same points in the individual award
categories (Best batsman, bowler, allrounder) then all players with same points

LBW:
· If the ball hits the legs of
the batswoman first (doesn’t matter if it hits the bat later), it is called LBW
and the batswoman is not out. She cannot take any runs. But she can get out
either by stumping or if the ball (after it hits the leg/body) rolls onto the
stumps. It is ok for the batswoman to kick or move the ball using the bat in
such a case but not use her hands.
Byes:
·
If
the batswoman misses a ball and the wicket-keeper fails to gather it, the
batswoman may take runs. These runs are called Byes. Players must rotate strikes for odd number of
byes.
·
Run
out or stumping on a bye run is valid.
·
However
if the ball hits the leg or any part of body (except the gloves or hands
up to wrist, if the player is wearing it) no runs can be taken but the
ball will be counted as a valid ball.
Wide:
·
A
white line or a marker on the offside will be drawn to help the umpires in
giving wides.
·
The
wide line will be 29 inches from the offside base of the stump. Even if the
ball touches the wide line, the ball is counted as a wide.
·
Anything
on the leg side outside the leg stump is a wide.
·
If
the ball passes the batswoman from the leg side and it’s on the leg stump then
it’s not a wide.
·
A
ball is a wide ball if it passes over the wide line where the batswoman is
standing. In other words, if the ball pitches outside the wide line and spins
inside the wide line near the batswoman, so as to be within the reach of the
batswoman, the ball is not wide. On the other hand, if the ball pitches inside
the wide line but spins outside the wide line and is so out of the reach of the
batswoman, it is a wide ball
·
A
ball is a wide ball if it bounces above the head of the batswoman. If the
batswoman is out of the crease then it’s the umpire’s call.
No-ball:
·
A
ball is a No-ball if it is a full toss above the waist or if it bounces above the
shoulder of the batswoman. If the batswoman is out of the crease then
it’s the umpire’s call. No
free-hit will be awarded for no-balls.
·
It
is a no-ball if the bowler bowls without the umpire indicating that the field
was ready for play.
·
Is it
s no-ball if the bowler oversteps the crease line while bowling (it is ok
to step after the ball has left the hands of the bowler). If the heel of the
bowler’s leg crosses the crease before delivering the ball it is a no-ball.
·
It
is a no-ball if the bowler bowls from outside the sides of the crease
boundaries.
·
One
run will be granted for no ball and the ball will be repeated. The run will be
added to whatever is scored by the batswoman. Umpire’s call is FINAL.
·
The
only way to get out on a no-ball is a run-out.
·
Hit-wicket
or being caught on such a ball will not get the player out.
·
If
a ball is both wide and no-ball, it is counted as a no-ball.
·
The
umpire should ask the bowling action from the bowler. It’s not a No-ball if the
player doesn’t call his action.
·
All
the “no-ball” decisions will be called out by the main umpire. Leg umpire can
suggest or request or provide more data about waist height full toss or above
head no-ball but the Main is the final decision maker.
Dead-Ball:
·
If
a ball bounces twice in front of the batswoman, the ball will be called a
dead-ball and will need to be replayed.
·
There
will be no runs granted on a dead-ball.
·
If
a wide ball is also dead, it will be declared a dead-ball.
·
If
a ball is dead, the ball is considered no longer in play.
·
If
a dead ball rolls and hits the wicket, it is not out.
Hit Wicket:
·
If,
in attempting to hit a ball or taking off for a first run, the batswoman
touches and breaks the wicket (with the bat or some other piece of equipment),
this is called hit wicket and the batswoman is declared out.
·
Hit
wicket is valid on a normal ball as well as on a wide ball. However in case of
a dead-ball or a no-ball, it is invalid.
Over-throws:
·
If
no fielder near the pitch gathers the ball and it continues into the field
again, the batswoman may take more runs.
·
If
the ball reaches the boundary on an overthrow, four runs are scored in
addition to the runs taken before the overthrow occurred.
Stumped:
·
If
a batswoman misses the ball and in attempting to play it, steps outside the
crease, she is out stumped if the wicket-keeper gathers the ball and breaks the
wicket with it before the batswoman can ground part of his body or his bat
behind the crease.
·
If
a player is out of the crease and the ball hits its legs, the keeper can still
get the player stumped. However, the keeper cannot get the player run out.
Umpire needs to be careful when determining this.
·
On
the line is out
Run-outs:
·
A
run-out is when a batswoman is attempting to take a run, or to return to his
crease after an aborted run, and a fielder breaks that batswoman’s wicket with
the ball while she is out of the crease.
·
It
is possible for the non-striker to be run out if the striker hits the ball
straight down the pitch towards the non-striker’s wicket, and the
bowler/fielder deflects the ball on to the wicket while the non-striker is out
of his crease.
·
If
the ball is hit directly on to the non-striker’s
wicket, without being touched by a fielder, then the non-striker is
not out.
·
Batswomen
cannot be run out while the ball is not in play - so they may confer in the
middle of the pitch between deliveries if they desire.
·
For
a run-out, the fielder has to break the wicket with the ball directly or with
the hand that holds the ball. The fielder cannot hold the ball in one hand and
touch the wicket with the other hand.
·
In
case of a run-out, the batswoman nearest to the side of the wickets that are
broken, is out.
·
The
batswoman must have some part of his body or his bat (provided she is holding
it) grounded behind (not on) the crease.
·
When
the wicket keeper or the fielders break the stumps before collecting the ball
then to run-out they have to hold the stumps and the ball in their hands,
touching each other.
·
The
ball is not dead if the fielder collects the ball and throws it towards the
bowler or the fields and they miss to collect it, in that case the batswoman
can take run(s).
·
The
base of the stumps is to be treated as the wicket in case of run-outs, bowled,
etc.
·
On
the line is out
Caught out:
·
No
runs are scored on a caught out even if the batswomen cross each other before
the ball is caught. In
case the batswomen cross over, the new batswoman will take the strike and if
its the end of the over then the other batswomen will take the strike.
·
If
the batswoman and runner run to the other crease before the ball is caught, the
runner maintains his position.
Runs:
·
A
run is scored by the batswomen when they both reach the opposite creases.
·
If
the batswoman and runner cross each other before getting catch or made run-out,
for the next ball, the batswomen position themselves near the wickets they were
running towards.
·
No
run is awarded if a catch or a run-out was made after the run commenced.
·
If,
while running multiple runs, a batswoman does not touch the ground beyond the
crease before she returns for the next run, then the umpire at that end will
signal one short, and that run will not be counted.
·
Any
time a ball in play goes beyond the boundary line behind the wickets, the runs
are considered declared. If it is within the first set of flags marking the
boundary, it is a 1-D else it is a 2-D. On 1-D, the players need to rotate
strike.
Umpiring
·
In
case the captain is sick/out of town, the vice-captain (who typically
is the other team contact) should take up the Captain's responsibilities.
·
Ensure
that a player of your team is appointed as an umpire for the game that your
team is assigned to umpire.
·
Please
check the schedule for upcoming umpiring assignments. (It is almost always on
the weekend that you do not have a game)

score on paper. (Unless the umpire is extremely comfortable with the palm
and has umpired several games before.)
·
In
case of any issues that arise during the game, captains and only captains
should talk to the umpires. Please ask your players to not yell or argue with
the umpire. Umpire can give a warning to both captains in this case. If issue
persists, the umpire has the authority to send the player out of the field or
call off the match and award the points to the other team.
·
If
the umpire needs to consult someone, they should first check the ARCL rules
page, then contact another umpire on the field or ARCL representatives.
New

·
Ensure
that the umpire has leg-umpired your games before.

list of issues so we can address them at the meeting itself.
· 3 board meetings to be
attended by all ARCL Board members.
· Two of these meetings will be
conducted end of March and end of August which will mainly be post-mortem for
the last league and minutes gathered from open forum meeting.
· An annual meeting to be held
in November where we will address larger issues like finances, budgets, major
changes in terms of ground acquisition etc.
· 1 annual dinner where
trophies will be presented to teams and best batswomen/women and bowler for the
two competitive leagues played that year. This will be held in December.
· Prize distribution ceremony
will be conducted after every season for couple of hrs.
We’ll follow this process when more than two teams have equal
points (3-way tie, 4-way tie etc)
Eg : Consider 3 teams A, B and C. they all have equal
points
Net Run Rate = (Runs Scored / Overs Played) - (Runs Conceded /
Overs Bowled)
HOW NET RUN-RATE IS CALCULATED: Net run-rate is calculated by
deducting from the average runs per over scored by that a team throughout the
competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the
competition. For example: India's net run-rate in the super six is calculated
as follows: calculated as follows:
|
|
R1 |
R2 |
R3 |
R4 |
R5 |
B1 |

R = runs scored in each match
B = balls faced in each match
R/r = India's run-rate is calculated as 1185 / 246 = 4.817 (4.82)
R/r = India's opponents run-rate is calculated as 1221 / 245.4 =
4.970 (4.97)
Note: In the event of a team being all out in less than its full
quota of overs, the calculation of its net run-rate shall be based on the full
quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of
overs in which the team was dismissed. (For example: refer table R3 and B3
above. India against Australia were all out for 205, so B3 is 300 balls and not
290 (48.2 overs) - the actual balls required for India to make these runs)
Calculations for below scenario
Matches in which defaulting team wins, the 20 points will be made
zero and the match will be counted as played; opponents points will be made
zero and the match will be counted as not played. (rankings/Positions are
calculated based on average.)
Team-A has used illegal player in Team-B’s match; so they
will lose 20 points; the match will be counted as played for Team-A so
their avg would be now 11 (44/4)
