This plan is about refreshing all the skills learnt during practice. Using a game format it brings together the batting, fielding and bowling disciplines of cricket.
Sometimes players, especially younger ones, find it hard to understand how training drills are transferred to the cricket pitch. This week's plan is a way of providing that context by showing players how practising correct technique in batting, bowling and fielding can immediately improve their game.
What's in the plan?
These drills aim to get your players incorporating newly developed skills in the basics of cricket including how to swap strike, how to field under pressure and bowling to your set field.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
