With drought restrictions affecting many parts of the country, cricket clubs may be wondering what this means for pitch preparation. The good news is that watering pitches in use remains permitted under health and safety exemptions, helping clubs maintain safe and playable surfaces throughout the season.

However, to benefit from this exemption, clubs and grounds volunteers should ensure they are following the latest guidance on watering practices. The Grounds Management Association (GMA) has produced practical advice for cricket grounds teams, which can be accessed here.
