Here is a brief overview of what occurred: - The current Executive was re-elected for this season as well as the addition of Peter Hannan. - Rule change proposals that were sent to clubs prior to the meeting all passed with a majority vote. - Provided COVID Restrictions target are met, looking at a start date of 14th November.... - Clubs were presented with playing format options based on when the season commences. This includes the possibility of playing some 2-day games on Sat/Sun only in Shield Grades as well as B to D, however the majority, if not all, will be 1-day cricket. Lower grades will only play 1-day cricket. - Clubs will provide feedback on the proposals and based on this feedback, the executive will decide the final formats. - All Junior cricket this season will be 1-day cricket. Clubs will continue to be updated regarding the COVID return to train and play guidelines as required through Cricket Victoria.
