Spirit of the game:


Besides playing  and observing the Laws, cricketers must respect the "Spirit of the Game" and the Preamble to the Laws, first published in the 2000 code, opens with this statement:
"Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game".
The res[ponsibility for ensuring that a team complies is placed firmly on the captain who may be required by the umpires to "take action" against any player on his team whose behaviour is unacceptable and may bring the sport into disrepute.The umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. They are required to intervene if players are wasting time, damaging the pitch, tampering with the ball or showing disrespect to other players or to the umpires themselves. Cricket is known as gentleman's game and the activities because of which  the sportsman's spirit goes down should be strictly avoided. Every player should respect each other on the field and in case of violetion of the spirit of the game and lawa of the game players can be fined and they may also get banned for playing for certain period of time.
