Mindset
* Developing the ability to absorb pressure and remain composed at the crease.
* Understanding when to attack and when to consolidate.
* Building resilience and concentration throughout an innings.
Rotating the Strike
* Learning how to manipulate the field against both seam and spin bowling.
* Identifying scoring opportunities and keeping the scoreboard moving.
* Reducing dot balls and maintaining pressure on the opposition.
Executing Plans
* Understanding match situations and adapting accordingly.
* Being able to find boundaries when required while maintaining good shot selection.
* Converting starts into meaningful contributions for the team.
Knowing Your Game
* Understanding your strengths and scoring zones.
* Developing awareness of which shots and areas of the field suit your game.
* Creating a clear batting identity and game plan against different types of bowlers.
The aim is to help players become smarter, more adaptable batters who can build innings, handle pressure, and make a significant impact on the game.
MasterClasses are no longer restricted to just those players in ‘A’ squads as we want to give all our Juniors, boys & girls, the chance to benefit from this specialist coaching if they’d like to do so. What we would ask you to bear in mind is that these sessions are aimed at skills progression and not best suited to those Juniors still very early in their cricketing development journey.
These sessions are for Juniors happy with Hard ball cricket. Please bring your cricket equipment with you and ensure you wear a helmet and, for boys, a box.
If you have any questions about these sessions please do reach out to Shaftab Khalid our Director of Cricket. If you have any questions about these sessions please do reach out to Shaftab Khalid our Director of Cricket.
