What First Aid Equipment is needed in cricket?

The start of the cricket season is just around the corner, meaning that first aid cover will be required at cricket grounds all over the country each weekend. But what first aid equipment is required to provide effective care and support. The ECB Clubmark is an accreditation scheme for cricket clubs, which shows that a club is sustainable, well run and provides the right environment for its members. Clubmark accreditation also means your club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages, as well as assuring parents and carers that they are choosing the right option for their young children. One of the criteria’s of becoming a Clubmark certified club through the England Cricket Board is that all clubs must have a designated first aid kit. This kit must be made available to all junior teams at a cricket club and it is heavily recommended that a first aid kit also be made available for the senior team. The ECB do not outline any specific content that must be contained within these kits. However, her at Firstaid4sport we have designed a range of Cricket specific First Aid Kits ranging from a small personal first aid kit to our advanced kit. Other options include the essential kit and our most popular team first aid kit.

Another question many teams are unclear on are whether the home team are responsible for providing care for an away team, however it is in fact the away teams responsibility to bring their own first aid kit. We are not suggesting that injured away players should be denied access to equipment if needed, but the home club’s responsibility is to provide cover for its team and guests of the club.
