Pre-Season Preparation

Transitioning the cricket square from winter to spring involves sound preventative maintenance practices such as cleaning up the square, mowing, and applying fertilizers. Pre-season rolling and mowing are essential steps to achieve the desired sward height for optimal ball roll and healthy grass growth. It is crucial to maintain the grass within the appropriate height range to prevent diseases and ensure a quality playing surface.

Square Maintenance

Prior to the season, it is important to ensure the square is square and the pitch positions are marked accurately to establish the true stump lines. Marking the pitches with the correct measurements using the necessary equipment is crucial for accurate pitch preparation. Managing weeds, pests, and diseases is essential for maintaining a healthy sward, leading to better-performing and safer pitches.
