NOTICE OF MOTION ready.
ABM 25-Jun-2018
WHATS THE ISSUE?
A similar regulation to this appears in both the Saturday and Super 20 Playing regulations. This playing regulation was overlooked when composing the Sunday 50 Over Playing Regulations.
DISCUSSION
This regulation details the actions and procedures to decide whether play will take place especially on wet days.
Apart from numbering, the wording is the same as in the Super 20 Reg 24. This includes provision for the 30-30 lightning safety rules and is otherwise identical to the Saturday Playing Reg 16.
PROPOSAL
Include the following regulation in Sunday 50 Over Playing Regulations.

29.3 If the day's play is called off then the Captains will tell the Umpires Coordinator for the association immediately.
