Trial Arrangements
Trial 1 will be on Sunday, 19 October and Trial 2 on Sunday, 2 November.
It is likely both trials will be conducted in the afternoon. Exact times and venues will be posted on NSJCA’s website closer to trial dates.
Parents are requested to check this website close to the trial dates as arrangements may need to change at short notice.
Competition Dates
Competition matches will be on these dates: 30 Nov 25, 07 Dec 25, 14 Dec 25, 01 Feb 26, 08 Feb 26, 15 Feb 26 and finals on 22 Feb 26. There may be practice matches prior to the first competition match.
Competition Organiser
From and including season 2025/26, the 14-2’s competition will be run by Cricket NSW (CNSW), rather than IDCA as was previously the case.
One immediate change is the requirement for matches to be played with white balls. As a result, players will need to wear maroon-coloured pads or maroon-coloured clads when batting.
There may be other changes to the competition compared to prior years.
Playing surface
Matches will be played on turf (pending availability) with a synthetic back up.

NSJCA’s and CNSW’s eligibility criteria are contained in NJSCA’s representative cricket policies which can be found on the Representative Cricket page of NSJCA’s website.

Parent and Player Responsibilities
For each trial, players are to bring a 156g red leather cricket ball. They should also bring food and water. Players are not to wear representative cricket clothing to trials.
Parents are to:
· supervise trialists who are not undertaking trial activity at a particular time
· remain at a distance from trial areas, including when their children are undertaking trial activity
Commitment
Players selected need to be available to play substantially all competition matches and practice matches. Players also need to be available to attend training as determined by the team coach. Representative training takes precedence over club training.
Compliance
Parents who register are requested to read NSJCA’s representative cricket policies. These policies – including codes of conduct – bind trialists, those selected to play and parents. By registering, parents agree to accept selection decisions made by NSJCA’s Representative Sub-Committee.
