MIKE SHRIMPTON TROPHY

WOMEN'S INTER-DISTRICT CRICKET


 CD's senior women's Inter-District 40-over competition is named after the late New Zealand Test player, CD representative and coach, Mike Shrimpton


  • Born in Feilding, Shrimpton became the first New Zealand coach to win an ICC Cricket World Cup when he guided the WHITE FERNS to the 2000 title
  • He also coached the CENTRAL HINDS and was a beloved mentor to many current WHITE FERNS and Hinds players before he passed away in 2015
  • Literally the biggest trophy in New Zealand cricket, Mike's bat is unsurprisingly a coveted item in the world of female Inter-Districts cricket

MIKE SHRIMPTON TROPHY cricket has undergone significant developments in recent seasons as CDCA invests further in developing the female pathway




• In 2020/21, a double round robin was played by Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa, Manawatū and Taranaki over six rounds - up from five rounds the previous season


• The following season saw the exciting addition of Nelson, the first South Island CD district in the competition. The Nelson Nyxons achieved their first win in their first home match against eventual champion, Manawatū 


• In 2023/24, Marlborough joining the action for the first time, easing into this level of interprovincial cricket against established Shrimpton Trophy teams on a non-points, trial basis. It became a season of 'firsts' for Marlborough. Previously, the team had played a couple of rep games against near neighbours Nelson only, while some Marlborough players represented Nelson at Shrimpton Trophy level. Now they had their first ever rep fixtures against other CD teams. At the end of the season, it was decided to return the focus to developing the team's depth locally in 2024/25

MIKE SHRIMPTON TROPHY ON PLAYHQ 

2023/24 RESULTS HUB

PLAYING CONDITIONS



The Laws of Cricket

Except as specially provided hereafter, the 2017 (2022) Code of the Laws of Cricket, together with the Playing Conditions as laid down by NZC will apply


Competition Specific Playing Conditions


[ 1 ] 40 overs per side.

[ 2 ]  8 overs maximum per bowler

[ 3 ] Power plays:    

(1) Overs     1 – 8  inclusive   (max. 2 players outside the inner circle)

(2)  Overs    9 - 40 inclusive   (max. 4 players outside the inner circle)

[ 4 ] One white Regulation, Senator or Club Match 142g Kookaburra cricket ball to be used per innings

[ 5 ] Hours of Play

Matches are scheduled to start from 11.00am, but can be brought forward to 10.30am upon consultation between the respective competing teams.

Please note that in these cases, all those associated with the match – teams, match officials (umpires), district management – must be notified in advance.                     

11am – 1.40pm Session 1                                      

1.40pm – 2.20pm Interval

2.20pm -  5.pm Session 2

If there is a delayed start, or one or more interruptions in play, the umpires will order extra time to extend the timing for the cessation of play up to:                     

6.30pm (11am start)  Day matches. 

6pm (10.30am start)  Day matches

Note: Lunch (40 minutes) can be shortened, or extended, with agreement between the participating teams and umpires, if there are travel requirements or reasonable reasons presented. (Note: The Hallyburton Johnstone Shield lunch interval has reverted to 45 minutes this season)


[ 6 ] NOMINATION OF PLAYERS 

6.1 For each match teams may be composed of twelve players

6.2 Prior to the toss for each match captains must provide opposing captains and the umpires a list of their batting XI and their fielding XI. The player left out of the fielding XI will act as a 12th for the fielding portions of the match (i.e. the player may bat in the batting XI but may not bowl)

6.3 The “12th player” may be rotated on and off the field acting as substitute fielder, under the following conditions – the “12th player” can be rotated at 10 over intervals (ie after 10 overs, 20 overs and 30 overs). Only if a player is injured or ill can the “12th player” be rotated at any other time.  No player is to be off the field for more than 10 overs during an innings, unless they are injured or ill. Hence, no player can take part in the field for less than 30 overs unless injured or ill.            

6.4 Since the rotation of the substitute is controlled, there is no penance time for either the batting or fielding side, unless there is an injury related change. The time the injured player is off the field is to be monitored and penance time applied to their absence if or when they return. For example – If a bowler leaves the field with an injury and they are off the field for more than the allowed 8 minutes grace period, they must “serve their time” before bowling again.If a bowler leaves the field with an injury and does not return to the field in the completed innings, they must serve their penance time before batting or bat no higher than number 7.

6.5 The wicketkeeper can not be designated as the non-bowler.


[ 7 ] Teams have two hours 40 minutes to bowl their 40 overs. That is 15 overs per hour or 4 minutes per over.

From season 2023/24 onwards, for each over, short of the required number of overs at the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, the fielding side will be penalised 0.5 of a point. 

Allowances such as - treatment of injuries on the field; finding or replacing the ball or any other wholly acceptable reason, must be factored in by the umpires. 

The Umpires will communicate how the respective over rate is progressing through the innings. If the full quota of overs is not completed within the allocated time for the innings, it must be noted that the out-standing overs are still required to be bowled. 


[ 8 ] Pace bowler bowling loads as per NZC PC’s must be followed, i.e. if a player is aged under 19 as at 1 September, in the year of the first half of the season, they will be restricted to a bowling load of six overs in any one spell.


[ 9 ] Helmets

The wearing of helmets by all batters is mandatory, in the interests of Health and Safety, in this competition. It is also expected that wicketkeepers wear helmets when standing up to spin bowlers.


[ 10 ] Running the non-striker out before the ball is bowled

The bowler must issue a warning to the non-striker who, in the umpire’s opinion, was out of their crease at the time of the incident

The warning must be made to the umpire at the non-striker's end before the next ball is delivered

The warning will last the duration of that innings and apply to all batters

The umpires will make all incoming batters aware if a warning has been issued.

Central Districts Cricket Association believes that the process of the bowler running out the non-striker is not in the Spirit of the Game and should be used only as a last resort.


[ 11 ] Umpires: Captain’s Reports

For season 2024/25 the Captain’s Umpires Report can be found on the Central Districts Cricket Association website.

Click on CDCA Competitions in the drop-down list, select Mike Shrimpton Trophy and click on the yellow “Captain’s Umpires Report Form”.

Complete your report and submit. (Remember captains will need to know the respective umpires’ names).

It is recommended that this form is filled in straight after the game.

If no completed report is received from the participating Shrimpton Trophy team, by 5pm on the following Wednesday after the scheduled game, 2 points will be deducted from that team in the Shrimpton Trophy points table.


[ 12 ]

  • All other playing conditions (ground markings, fielding restrictions, etc.) as per Hallyburton Johnstone Shield EXCEPT for this season, 2024/25, no bonus points will be available. This is because the majority of Nelson's fixtures are T20 matches.
  • To be consistent across all games and teams, match points will be allocated as follows:


Win: 4 points

Tie or No Result: 2 points each team

Loss: 0 points


[ 13 ] Innings Duration

A minimum of 16 overs per team will constitute a match (even in Nelson’s matches).
