In order to help your players develop their T20 core skills (building a solid base when batting, improving their line and length when bowling or simply saving runs in the field) this session gets them practising under the pressure of this lively version of the game.

As a coach, whatever your opinions, aim to put your own views aside and embrace the format for the benefit of the players, as the long term gains for cricket participation could be great!
