Medical Coverage of Cricket Matches

Abstract

Cricket is played around the world, at all ages and grades. Medical coverage of cricket matches varies equally, depen ding on the location, grade of cricket, expertise and resources available. Whereas recommendations exist for International matches and tournaments, this may not even extend to first class matches in many countries. Few sports provide guidelines on minimum requirements of coverage of events, and none exist in cricket. This paper proposes minimum standards aimed at being appropriate for all regions and levels of cricket.
