Can anyone tell me what the protocols are for head-knocks in junior cricket? I witnessed an incident on the weekend when a young boy was hit in the helmet by a fast bowler. Thankfully, he appeared to be be okay. However, no one knew for certain what to do. On further digging, we found some guidelines from CA, but they were primarily directed at concussion incidents. As the research now suggests, a person doesn't need to be concussed to suffer head trauma.

In the case of children in particular, should there be more stringent guidelines in place to avoid any confusion? EG: If hit in the head or helmet a child should take no further part in the game.
