Squad: SCC Cheetahs
Division: Division I
a) Objectives
To compete to a highly competitive level in Division II of the Singapore Cricket Association (SCA) League.
To field the best available XI each week in pursuit of peak performance.
To build and work within a clear structure, in regards to how each phase of a game will be played and what profile of player is therefore required for each position.
To register a top 3 finish in the SCA Division II League.
b) Criteria
Performance: Performance across the last 3 games at that level or higher in a specific role/position.
Team Balance: This is a vital element in the success/consistency of any team and will be a major factor in selection.
Attitude & Work Ethic: The attitude presented towards the club, teammates, opposition and officials is paramount when it comes to selection in any SCC squad. Cheetahs players should train in a positive, role specific and helpful way to those down the pathway.
Training: On occasions where two players are competing for the same position and when the decision is split across the selection committee, the player who has trained most regularly will be looked upon favourably.
Communication: Good communication is vital in any successful team. A player who has not communicated their availability to the Captain of Cricket will be assumed unavailable.
Junior Development: Junior players who have the potential to play at a higher level/team will be given maximum available opportunity. This does not mean however, that senior players will automatically make way for junior players regardless of performance, but rather in a situation where two players have similar claims for promotion or demotion, preference will likely be given to the development of the younger player.
Behaviour: All players must adhere to the SCA Code of Conduct when representing the club on-field. Additionally, all players must adhere to the clearly communicated expectations of the SCC Cricket section at all times. Being in the appropriate training/match attire at all times is a must and players bringing the club, the section or the game of cricket into disrepute will be dealt with accordingly.
c) Process of selection
The selection committee for this squad will consist of the following;
Captain of Cricket 1 vote
The Captain of Cricket is to chair any selection meetings and discussions, ensuring they are at all times channelled within the SCC Cricket Senior Selection Policy.
Head Coach of Cricket 1 vote
The Head Coach of Cricket will openly and honestly discuss the recent performances, training standards and behaviours of each player. The Head Coach of Cricket is responsible for ensuring that players are playing specific to their preferred role in an SCC side and able to share on all other points relative to coaching, player development and overall individual performance.
Team Captain 1 vote
The Captain will have equal voting rights to the Captain of Cricket and Head Coach of Cricket.
