first things first, most important thing imo is to provide the players with good facilities and coaching. not just at the national team level, NCL teams need good coaches and need good pitches and grounds to play on as well as having good doctors, physio's, trainers and nutritionists (maybe even sports pyschologists to help deal with the mental side of things on and off the field) around to help get their bodies to where they need to be and to improve or maintain that, other thing is to have gyms for all the players that can be easily accessed by the players. in fact the things i just mentioned should be provided for national teamers, A teamers, academy players, NCL players, and any youngsters around the age group national teams.
next would be things like having top quality umpiring, better facilities for 2nd XI NCL teams and academy teams (other than the national academy) and studying the opposition using tv footage or whatever avenues possible to do so but these are things that should be dealt with once the important things have been put in place, though the national team should already be doing these things so it should be just a matter of filtering what the national team is doing down through the levels as far as possible.
these are things that the BCB can put in place to help the players and coaches perform to their potential. still at the end of the day it comes down to the players, they have to learn how to take in all the advice from the doctors, trainers, nutritionists, physio's, coaches, sport pyschologists etc and they have to have the work ethic and motivation to work and succeed in this sport because if they can't do that then they'll probably always struggle to perform.
also the NCL teams should go on tours to other countries and play some decent quality FC sides.
