Rules of the practice
1. Each player has 8-10 feeds, then all rotate clockwise.
2. Give groups 2-3 coaching points to work on.
3. Have about 3-4 rounds each (depending on time limit).
4. For the first round of 8-10 play every other shot with the top hand only (to show the importance of the top hand).
5. Make the last round competitive: try to survive all 8-10 feeds without getting out. If you're out, change round.
6. On the practice round, players get another feed if one goes wide. On the competitive round, have 8-10 feeds whether players leave the ball or play and miss.
7. If a player deliberately plays an attacking shot he loses that round of 8-10 feeds. (Be strict on this point - safety.)
Don't set up groups too close to one another - think safety! Coach positions himself where he can monitor all groups safely.
The biggest T20 World Cup ever, historic qualifications, and evolving playing conditions make 2026 a landmark year for cricket. Here's what coaches need to know.
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.
