Spirit of Cricket Award
The first item in the official cricket rules is “The Preamble – The Spirit of Cricket”. The KPCC Spirit of Cricket award is given to a player, players, family, volunteer or team in the Junior grade who has played and/or presented themselves according to this spirit, or have contributed to their team or club aligning with this spirit.
Nominations are sought at the end of the season, with the award given at Junior presentation afternoon.
The Spirit of Cricket notes that it is just as important for cricket to be played within the spirit of the game as it is to be played to the rules. As part of this, nominees must have shown respect for opponents, their team, umpires, the game and its traditional values.
