The Raja award scheme for outstanding achievement
We announced in February 2022 that, after five years of very generous sponsorship, our arrangement with Rajapack had drawn to a close. We are enormously grateful for their generosity. The relationship has given us our “Raja” award scheme, which replaced our involvement with the Jack Petchey award scheme.
We ran the scheme through 2022, and are running it again through 2023.
This is how it works: a Raja is awarded for every century, 3 catches and 5 wickets in a single match in senior cricket from u16 upwards. In women’s matches, Rajas are also awarded for 30 runs in each of two matches, or 3 wickets or 3 catches. Rajas are awarded for each 50 runs, each 5fer and each set of 3 catches in junior T20 cricket, and similarly for every 30, 3 wickets and 2 catches in girls’ and Crocus cricket. In junior T20 matches played with a “retire after 30 runs” rule, then a Raja award goes to players getting 30 runs in each of two matches, or for 3 wickets.
