Men's ODI Match Appendix A Definitions 12: The Person

12.The person

12.1. Person; A player’s person is his/her physical person (flesh and blood) together with any clothing or legitimate

external protective equipment that he/she is wearing except, in the case of a batsman, his/her bat. A hand, whether gloved or not, that is not holding the bat is part of the batsman’s person.

No item of clothing or equipment is part of the player’s person unless it is attached to him/her. For a batsman, a glove being held but not worn is part of his/her person.

For a fielder, an item of clothing or equipment he/she is holding in his/her hand or hands is not part of his/her person.

12.2. Clothing – anything that a player is wearing, including such items as spectacles or jewellery, that is not classed as external protective equipment is classed as clothing, even though he/she may be wearing some items of apparel, which are not visible, for protection. A bat being carried by a batsman does not come within this definition of clothing.

12.3. Hand for batsman or wicket-keeper shall include both the hand itself and the whole of a glove worn on the hand.
