Cricket Australia strongly recommends that community associations take all practical steps to adopt the ICC directive and mandate that all junior and senior players wear British Standard 7928:2013 compliant helmets from 2019/20 season onwards when batting, wicket-keeping up to the stumps and fielding in close to the batter.

* More information regarding Cricket Australia’s policy on helmet safety can be found on page 70 of the 2017-18 edition of 'Well Played' - Australian Cricket's playing policies and community guidelines.
