Hi all,

accomplished experience | average form | rested fatigue | reasonable captaincy

Endurance expert
Batting poor
Bowling exceptional
Technique spectacular
Keeping ordinary
Power average
Fielding spectacular

This guy popped to exceptional bowling today. At 24 (and with a superior academy) how long would it take him to reach world class? Is it worth it or do you think I should start training power from now?

If so, how long do you train power for and to what level? Then what do you train afterwards?

Nice player, one of the best upcoming mediums for Bangladesh.
It takes considerable time to reach world class, well over 2 full seasons, probably closer to 3 seasons.

I would start to train power, aim for 2 pops a season while also training bowling/bowling-tech. That would get to excep power at 28.

Hello guys Can anyone explain me how you train the endurance balanced to the primary batting/bowling, technique and fielding. I know Primary training and fielding training trains endurance too but I have many players with endurance low. Is endurance really importance from youth? How do you train the endurance from when and which age mostly?
Also can anyone help with training the All Rounder and Wicket Keeper ? How do you start at what skill you guy go for fielding, technique and endurance training ?
Thank you so much

I normally don't train endurance/fitness that often until a player turns 27/28 and there's not much left to do with them. If you have a youth player with low endurance (poor or lower) than a couple of weeks on fitness isn't a bad idea. Once your players starts moving onto strength training then their endurance will move up at a decent rate.

For wicket-keepers I'd try and train keeper-batsmen as much as possible, but I'd switch to fielding to make sure it's within two levels of the keeping skill, and if technique falls behind then some time on batting technique.

For all-rounders, you still want to make sure fielding is at a good level, so I'd train it until at least reasonable. Then after that, you can rotate between Bowling/Bowling Tech and AR training depending on how high you want the batting to be. I'd regularly go back to fielding so it reaches at least outstanding by the time a player turns 23.

Yeah it's important. Ideally it would be at least average by the time a player turns 20, ordinary minimum.

In most cases though, it shouldn't need too much training.

Hi all,

My young batsmen just popped in endurance this week. He is currently training Batting but I was just wondering what people would do with him longer term?

Will he did fielding training still? If so when?
When should I start training power? Should this be when he reaches a certain age or when he hits a certain batting level?

I'd go for another fielding pop right now.

After fielding pops then onto batting for a while. For strength training, most people seem to start when the player turns 25. I normally would go a bit earlier, maybe 7/8 weeks before EOS.
