What age group would my child play in?
For the traditional form of cricket that is played on Saturday mornings, the age groups are quite specific, ie, if a player is 13, the youngest age group they would play in is U14s. However, for the more introductory forms of cricket, In2Cricket and T20 Blast, there is a wider age range and the ability and experience of the player may determine if they are more suited to these forms of cricket or whether they play in the age specific competitions.
