Following yesterday's announcement by Cricket Ireland on the in-principle approval to begin preparations to Return-to-Training, and in addition to our discussions with clubs via our Zoom meeting last night, we can confirm the Club Support Toolkit with protocols and checklists will be sent to all clubs on Monday (8th June 2020).

This support pack will include

• Guidelines on cleaning,
• Guides to training for players and coaches,
• A pre-restart checklist, and
• Several helpful templates

As confirmed last night cricket activity cannot resume until you have complied with the requirements in the Return-to-Rrain protocols.

As outlined last night each club will also be required to nominate a COVID-19 Safety Support Officer who will undertake training. Please begin the process of identifying your nominated club representative, as the relevant certified training will be available from next week. 

The NCU has also allocated a staff member to support each club through the process of preparation for compliance with the return-to-training protocols.  Your allocated NCU support officer will be in touch with your club directly next week to outline their contact details and discuss how they will support you in your next steps.

Thank you again for your patience, and we hope to see cricket activity resume very soon.
