As it stands the ICC have left it down to individual national governing bodies to implement it into their amateur leagues. To my knowledge the ECB have not announced anything for 2018 so a league deciding to do it off their own back would surely need a majority vote from it's members (the clubs) at an AGM....
Does that explain your league move @Vitas Cricket
If an ump wants to tell me my bat is illegal fine but he and the league will be getting the bill for a new oneOkay first class as free kit but not at amateur level
I'll probably struggle to find a legal bat in the collection
I don't think I own an "illegal" bat
The gauge will be in attendance at the CBF nets and any non compliant bats will be returned to the MCC to be destroyed* *honest guv
Just measured all the bats I have in at the moment ready to go out... not one passes haha, even a 2.8 is too big.My bad, MCC.
