Helmet Policy

January 17, 2017 Headline

New Zealand Cricket is committed to ensuring all cricketers receive the very highest standard of helmet protection, whether batting or fielding (in specific positions).

To this end, NZC has adopted a formal position on helmet safety which is largely in line with similar policies implemented in England & Australia. This position recognises a key distinction between the Amateur and Professional cricketer.

For the Amateur cricketer (junior and senior) it is preferable, and strongly recommended, that they wear a helmet which meets the new British Standard (BS7928:2013). For the Professional cricketer, this is now mandatory

Full Policy available here.

In summary…

Contracted and Professional Players – First-class, List A, T20 and A Squad – BS 7928 : 2013 Compliant Helmets are mandatory

Amateur cricket – New Zealand Cricket strongly recommend all senior cricketers wear a helmet with a face guard while playing and during practice sessions when batting, keeping (within 5 metres of the stumps) or fielding in close (with 7 metres of the stumps, excluding behind the wicket on the off-side).
