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.
Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results. This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.
Fielding placement in limited overs cricket is a tactical chess match that changes with every phase of the innings. This article breaks down how captains should set fields during the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs, and provides practical coaching sessions for developing game-aware fielders who anticipate rather than react.
With IPL 2026 starting this month, we break down the art of powerplay bowling - field placement, line and length, and how to turn the fielding restrictions to your advantage.
