No restriction on slow bowlers. However, in WEDCB games competition rules override the above and there will be limits at each age level. A fast bowler is one to whom the wicket keeper in the same age group to take the ball will usually stand back.
WEDCB Selection
policy
Parents and players should be aware that the District receives
nominations from clubs via Essex County Cricket Board. In October, the ECCB
invites schools and clubs to make nominations for those youngsters who they
consider to be capable of performing at District level and above. These are now
done online and it has become a very efficient system. ECCB then sort the
nominations into Districts and the names and addresses are sent to each
District. It is for the District then to organise trials and invite certain
players to take part in a subsidised development programme. These trials are
held in the Winter and the development programme lasts for ten weeks usually on
a Sunday afternoon. Squads of around 20-24 for the inter-District matches are
then selected. These matches are held in May half-term and in the first two
weeks of the summer holiday.
If any player is considered to be capable of performing at County level, the next level up, they are then recommended for trial to Essex County Cricket Club.
