Although the International Cricket Council is the global Governing Body for cricket, it still relies on the MCC to write and interpret the Laws of Cricket, which are applicable from the village green to the Test arena. MCC’s Laws sub-committee are responsible for the debating, decision making and drafting of the Laws.
​
In 2017, MCC published a new Code of Laws, which incorporated the most wide-ranging alterations to the Laws of Cricket for almost two decades. This code has now been updated three times, with the third edition to coming into effect on 1 October 2022, and adopted for the 2022-23 summer.

A full copy of the Laws is available to view here.

Members of NSWCUSA receive monthly Laws questions and have access to a database of questions online through the Members Portal.
