Proper Planning and Co-ordination for Getting Competent Players

[WarWolf]

Cricket is a process, not some random events. You need to have long term and short term plans to produce enough quality cricketers and continue their improvements. This is the only way to get successful as a cricketing nation.


It’s really a simple way to go. Nothing like rocket science. Anyone who understands cricket a bit can understand what to do. Bangladesh is a breeding field for cricketers these days. All we need to do is to guide and train them properly. The outcome will come automatically.


The Process of Developing Cricketers:

Now let us have a look how the process works. It’s very simple. Take a look at the basic way to generate enough good cricketers for national team. It has worked for other countries. So there is no reason that it won't work for us.


We need to invest and concentrate on all the levels from bottom to top. It’s really important. We often see that we need to work with players’ basic techniques at national team camp. It’s not the way to go. National team camp is not a place for babysitting. Basic technique and skill training should be done in the earlier parts of a player’s career. A level and national team training are for polishing a player, not for teaching basic skills.

School cricket should be made stronger and more competitive. We have to identify the prospective players at this level. There are local clubs in every town of the country. Identification should be done at this level too. Trained coaches should be used to identify players at these levels.


Once we have a group of potential players in every region we need train them properly in age group RCA camps. Trained coaches should be used during this training process. Players who do outstanding in this level should be grafted to RCA team for NCL and also should be promoted to National age level teams. This level must involve coaching from level 2 coaches.


This way, we will get a strong flow of players for national cricket academy. Players at this level of camps will be trained with advanced skills like how to play on bouncy wickets, how to bowl reverse swings etc. National cricket academy must have level 3 coaches.


Players who perform outstanding in national academy level will be promoted to national A team. These guys will now be getting ready to face international challenges. A team coaching will be as good as national team.


Finally we get the desired competent players for the national team. Players who under perform in national level will be demoted to A level and exciting prospects from the A team will replace them.


A good idea is to place players from all levels to overseas leagues whenever possible. BCB should make some agreements with different test playing nation boards to make this happen.


Proper Co-ordination:

At present, our national team, A team and academy team are not working with proper co-ordinations. This should not be the case. Coaching teams from all these teams must sit periodically to form and follow a proper plan for developing a proper player supply channel. For example, our national team doesn’t have any good leg spinner at this moment. The coaching team from the national side should ask for a few good potential leg spinners from the A team and academy team with a time limit of 2 years or so. The priority of those teams would be identifying and preparing the leg spinners which are asked by the national team.


As the supply of players to the national team depends on the lower levels, without proper co-ordination we would never be able to find the right players for the national team.

Nice article

[WarWolf]

Thanks Obayed bhai.

Great Post WarWolf...FP material...I would add something to it...

Besides Qualitative measures of this process...Quantifying the measure rate will be helpful...I believe we already use lots of statistics to perform this and thus identified from last January a top order batsmen just have 11 average with 170+ ODI experience...we also probably emphasize on taking some "actions" to implement these theories otherwise...all the hard work will go in vain.

[WarWolf]

Thanks SS.

Quantitative and qualitative both measures are to be used as you suggested.

Excellent Warwolf.

Its no brainer that we need proper planning and co-ordination, but the way you explained it, brilliant. However, I feel sad knowing that our renowned BCB morons do not think in the same line.

Can we hire someone from BC to explore the current situation through a case study. Donation wont be a problem I hope.

Lets get a clear idea about what we have, what can be done, and how.

Lets identify potential areas of improvement, and utilize our limited resources at its best.

This is amazing work Wolfie bro!! This is exactly how crikcet should be governed/implimented/organized in anywhere in BD, for that matter anywhere. Very clearly written, the graphics helps tremendously!

Yeah thats what I think at times. All these great innovative ideas gets lost under threads after threads here at BC. Isn't there a way to get these messages pass across the confinement of this forum into the real world ?

Very detailed and to the point. Why can't our BCB Management think like that? I mean Bashar, Akram, Gazi Ashraful have played cricket for years and years and should understand the basic structures like this. Pathetic Administration

BCB run by political figure. And none of our politician thinks like you and me. They are from the different world( in a negative way). Show me just one organization in our country which is running properly and BCB is no different from that.

Great work WarWolf.

[mufi_02]

Yes it is true but at the same BCB is also full of ex-national players like Bashar, Nannu, Akram Khan, Gazi Ashraful, Faruk/Athar (was there for a while). I expect this kind of strategical thinking from them. Also the new CEO Manjur is very qualified. He was the head of Bahrain or some other middle eastern cricket board.

Get rid of Loita and put some ex-players in president's seat.

I hope it's not HaBa.

[Hawk-Eye]

As long as there is a political BCB president( except Saber Hossain Chowdhury) everything will remain same. It does not matter how many ex player is there or who is the CEO.They are there to just fill the quota. They do not have the power to take any major decision.

[WarWolf]

BCB should organize a four-nation tournament every year involving BD, India, Pak and Srilanka A teams. As far as I remember, we had something like that in the past. This would be a good learning and testing platform for the upcoming boys.

[MarufH]

Great work. BCB should hire you as a consultant.
