League Formats For 2022

The Hampshire Cricket League plans to return to normality in terms of playing regulations for its Saturday afternoon matches this summer.

Games across the board were restricted to 40-overs per side last year, but the league intends to return to a 50, 45 and 40-over format down the 19-division pyramid when play begins on May 7 2022.

That means H&D 1st XI Division 1 matches will be 50-overs per side, with a restriction of ten overs per bowler, with play starting at 12.30pm.

Games in Divisions 2 and 3 will last 45 overs (nine overs per bowler) with 1pm starts.

 H&D 2nd, 3rd & 4th XI Divisions 4 to 6 will be of a 40-over duration (eight overs per bowler) again starting at 1pm.
