Action Cricket
An exciting game played on a court fully enclosed by netting.
THE RULES
The rules of Action Cricket are based on those of outdoor cricket, except that the
nets become an integral part of the game – the ball always remains in play, which
adds to the fun and excitement of the game. We have developed the game of Action
Cricket and its rules (attached PDF), which are in line with the worldwide standards.
Action Cricket is a limited over’s game with six players – 6 over’s or eight players
– 10 over’s in a team. When fielding, each player, including the wicketkeeper, bowls
two over’s and when batting, each batting pair faces four over’s. If you are ‘OUT’
when batting you do not leave the court, instead your side loses either 3 runs or
5 runs depending on the format of the game being played.
