In order to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest, any selection of players for squads or for Pathway trials will be subject to the following:

1. Ahead of any selection process, the DOC and relevant Club Coaches will declare to the Trustees responsible for Junior Cricket, which players under consideration (a) have paid for 121 or similar coaching with them, (b) are members of any academy or other training group they are associated with or (c) any family connections or close connections outside cricket.
2. The DOC and/or relevant Club Coach, as appropriate, will recuse themselves from the selection process of that player. They will be able to provide feedback to the other Club Coaches and the Parent Manager but will not have a vote in any final selection.
3. If the remaining selectors are deadlocked on the final selection, the DOC will have the final say on a player’s selection. If the DOC has reclused himself, the final decision will rest with the Lead Age Group Coach and if both the DOC and the Lead Age Group Coach have reclused themselves, or there is a debate between multiple players subject to a recusal, the Junior Trustees will select one of the remaining coaches to make the final decision.
