Player Transfers

The Knights Norfolk Cricket League does not have a formal process for the registration of players. Players from clubs outside the NCL may play for an NCL club in the league competition without penalty.

However, no player may represent more than one Club within the NCL without a transfer process. The transfer procedure is quite straightforward (Gen Rule 19):

19 a Once a player has represented a Club (Old) in the NCL, he may not play for a different Club(New) in the same season before an authorised transfer has been completed and confirmed by the General Secretary as in 19c below
  b The New club is responsible for producing a transfer form, which must include the name of the player, and be countersigned and dated by representatives of the two Clubs concerned.
  c The New club is responsible for ensuring that the transfer has been completed (as above) and for sending the transfer form to the General Secretary, who will confirm the transfer
  d No transfers will be granted after 30 June each year

The basic requirements are:

  1. agreement of 'departing' club
  2. agreement of 'acquiring' club
  3. notification to General Secretary
  4. transfer is agreed before 30 June

The most sensible way to complete this is via a letter written by the 'acquiring' club, forwarded on to the 'departing' club and then to the League's Secretary.

An example of such a letter, which may be downloaded and printed on to your Club's letterhead, is included here.
