Cricket pitch orientation.

Is there a regulation governing which direction a pitch runs, i.e. north - south, or east - west? if so, does this apply only to county or test grounds?

None at all. Common sense would prevail, hopefully

Pitches tend to run as close to North-South as possible so the low sun doesn't get in the batsmans eyes in the evening. I've had the misfortune to play at an east-west ground & it aint much fun, believe me!
