Cricket lovers will be relieved to know LastManStands cricket will resume after five months of no action.
“We have strict Covid-19 protocols in place and players will be screened at the entrance of each venue.
“No spectators will be allowed at matches and players won’t be allowed to share equipment, shake hands after the game or celebrate the wickets by gathering together.
“These are just some of the rules we have put in place to keep the players safe,” said LastManStands administrator Owen Chitsinho.

The games set to kick off on Sunday at Olympia Park Stadium will wrap up the season that was interrupted by Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown.
The first semi-final will feature Willowmore, the log leaders, versus Jolly Brothers who finished the season in fourth place.
Willowmore are defending their title after being crowned champions in November 2019.
The second semi-final will feature Rusty Ballies versus Wicketpedia.
The winners of the semi-finals will lock horns in the final scheduled to start at 1pm.
In addition to the finals, this will be the last day for players to grab the top performers awards for the season.
Niel De Wet of Rusty Ballies will be gunning for the top batsman award while Neil Keyter of Jolly Brothers will have his eye on the bowling award.
In the wicket-keeping category, the Jolly Brother’s Martin van Vuuren will aim to end the season as the best wicketkeeper.
Players will have little time to prepare for the new season, which is set to start on September 13.
Entries are still open.
