In order to ensure that we are an inclusive club, retaining players at all levels, whilst promoting development and progression opportunities throughout, our junior selection policy outlines the ways in which sides will be selected in order to achieve the inclusion, enjoyment and progression of all of our juniors.
- All players are to play in their correct/chronological age groups for league matches
- oIf an age group are unable to generate/fulfil a match squad then players from a younger age group can be called up to fulfil a fixture (ideally the best player/players from the age group directly below, with this decision to be made in consultation with the Director of Junior Cricket)
- Age groups with playing members of over 20 (this may be slightly higher or lower but is at the discretion of the Director of Junior Cricket) at the point of team registration will have two squads;
- o Warriors - selecting the best 11 players within the age group to be competitive at the highest level
- o Dragons - inclusive cricket for all players regardless of experience or ability
- o Teams will be selected on a match by match basis and age group players will be able to represent both Warriors and Dragons
- Squads for cup fixtures are to be made up of the best players from all of the appropriate age groups
- Only junior players representing HWCC at age group level will be available for senior selection (subject to ECB rules and in consultation with Director/s of Cricket)
- All players are only able to play competitive cricket for High Wycombe Cricket Club in League and Cup competitions in which HWCC compete in and are not able to play for other clubs unless explicitly agreed upon in advance. If a player was to play a competitive match for another club in any league or cup match without prior approval an automatic 15 day match ban will be issued per match for another club, if there are multiple instances of this breach, this would be brought to the disciplinary committee where a ban length or membership termination would be determined.
- For any junior players who play Senior cricket, please review the senior selection policy
