Dear Victorian Cricket Community,
As Victorian cricket continues its staged resumption in line with the State Roadmap, we felt it was timely to provide some additional guidance for clubs and associations working through the many questions that COVID-normal may generate.
As per State Health Orders, the following conditions apply:
- Vaccination for outdoor community sport is not mandatory however Cricket Victoria strongly recommends all eligible people are vaccinated in the interests of broader community health.
- Service Victoria QR code must be displayed and used for check in for all players, coaches, volunteers checking in for training or matches
Conditions from local authorities/venue operators:
- Some Councils/Shires may elect to take further steps regarding mandatory vaccination in their facilities. It is important to contact these authorities, where applicable, to understand the circumstances for your club or association
- Some cricket grounds will be located within larger properties (such as schools or universities) that may require mandatory vaccination for every participant to enter the site.
- In the event mandatory vaccination is required as a condition of entry, both home and away teams have a responsibility to select a team of eligible players who can meet the vaccination requirements of the facility or local authority.
Training and match environments:
- Masks are not mandatory in outdoor settings where social-distancing can be maintained. Masks remain mandatory in all indoor settings.
- Saliva cannot be used on the cricket ball at any time. Participants may use sweat to maintain the cricket ball but it may only be taken from areas other than the head and neck.
