20-08 5 Max. Fielders on Leg Side (Sunday 50 Comp.)

PROPOSAL Add a rule limiting leg side fielders to a maximum of 5.  

REASONS It brings the 50 over competition into line with One Day Internationals and Warehouse 50 over games. Some matches have been played using this rule in error in season 2019/20. This rule exists for the QSDCA Super 20 competition.  

CURRENT REGULATIONS None  

POSSlBLE NEW REGULATION
   12. FIELDING RESTRICTIONS 
   12.1 At the instant of delivery there will not be more than five fielders on the leg side.
   12.2 On infringement of the above fielding restrictions, either umpire will call and signal ‘No Ball’.


Arguments against
In 2017 this fielding restriction (along with powerplays and fielding circles) was left out of the competition for the sake of simplicity.

Arguments in favour
Many players (and some umpires) are used to this rule as they float between Warehouse in winter and Subbies in Summer.

Penalties
This could be made a differential no ball (i.e. a non-free hit no ball) but that is a complexity which can be avoided.
