Why Cover?

Rain delays in cricket are common in the UK and not playing in the rain is an accepted part of the game.  But delays to play because the pitch is wet even though it is not actually raining are frustrating for all involved.

Clubs can reduce these delays by using covers to stop water getting on the pitch and other sensitive areas that are slow to dry out once the rain has stopped.

Having the covers is one thing, deploying and removing the covers effectively and safely is another.  This guide aims to cover the key points on selecting and using covers to help you get the most out of them.
