Role of the Match Day Referee

The Match Day Referee can be contacted, by phone, on match days only, to resolve disputes arising where there are no official Association Umpire/s appointed and where the two captains cannot agree to make a decision.

The Match Day Referee can also be contacted in matches with an official umpire when the captain does not agree with the interpretation the umpire has made with regard to a playing condition, law of cricket, or by-law rather than getting into a dispute with the umpire. The match day referee will not over turn a decision already made however can provide guidance when required.

The Match Day Referee can receive a limited number of calls on match days. If a person cannot get through to the Match Day Referee please try the alternative numbers listed.
