What ball, protective gear and match equipment are required?

Ball (3.2): a standard Kookaburra 2-piece 142g cricket ball. Each team provides a ball for its bowling innings.

Protective gear (3.3): helmets (BS7928:2013), pads, gloves and protectors are mandatory when batting and wicketkeeping. Thigh pads, chest guards and arm guards are optional for batters.

Hats: all players, coaches and umpires must wear a hat, cap or appropriate religious headwear on the field (broad-brim hats are strongly recommended). Players who do not must put one on or leave the field, and umpires must report a refusal to the Association.

Home team supplies (3.1): a scorer's table and two chairs, two sets of stumps and bails (if only one set of portable stumps is available, use it at the bowler's end), chalk or tape for the creases, a measuring tape or premeasured rope for the boundary, and at least 25 plastic cones.
