Banning bouncers in under-18s cricket is ridiculous and potentially dangerous
It would be much more risky for young kids to only be exposed to the short ball for first time when they play men's cricket at a high level

The suggestion of banning bouncers for under-18s cricket strikes me as a lot of clever people sitting around a table with too much time on their hands and thinking ‘what shall we ban next’.
It is a ridiculous suggestion and yet another example of the world we live in these days where anything risky is deemed too dangerous.
I see kids coached at junior level and watch my son play. There is very little short-pitched bowling. The bowlers do not have the physical strength as kids to bowl bouncers and the pitches are too slow anyway. My son plays in the Cheshire Premier League (adults) and there is very little short-pitched bowling at that level either.
It is in the nets where young batsmen can be pinned but they have to learn to play the short ball. If we ban it at junior level then we have to ban it at elite level too. It would be much more dangerous for young kids to only be exposed to the short ball for the first time when they play men’s cricket at a high level. They just would not be equipped to face it.
If we ban bouncers then what next? Get rid of short leg? You get hit far more fielding there than you do as a batsman. How about keepers standing up to the stumps? The list is endless.
