Squad: SCC Pumas
Division: Division VI
a) Objectives
To create a breeding ground for advancing youth cricketers and to introduce those advancing players to the senior competitive environment.
To field exclusively players under the age of 21 and develop leadership qualities where possible.
Overall team success is not a huge factor at this level. Maximum exposure to developing SCC and Singapore’s ‘cricketers of tomorrow’, is the primary objective.
b) Criteria
Age Profile: Players over the age of 21 will not be considered for selection in this side unless required.
Attitude & Work Ethic: The attitude presented towards the club, teammates, opposition and officials is paramount when it comes to selection in in any SCC squad. Pumas players should train in a positive, role specific manner and help/support other members as best possible.
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.
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.
