With the announcement of the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Six scheduled to take place in England from September 7th – 13th, the countdown to Division Four in which Bermuda is a part of is fast approaching.
With no action at the National level since the ICC Americas T20 Tournament in Indianapolis, the Bermuda Cricket Board, Clubs and Players will need to turn their attention to preparing the best possible team.
The Board and the Clubs need to have an open dialog with the players a Coach/Coaching Staff and Captain needs to be established immediately.
Coach/Coaching Staff along with the Captain need to be able to invite the players they feel will support each other, that will not prevent others from joining in the training sessions, making sure that all are welcome, however the importance of the Coach and Captain inviting is the buy in from the players.
Drug test the players one month into the training session, those who commit after will have to pass a test before they begin training.
The Board need to explain their plan before all of this goes into place, to many times we have disgruntle players because they are finding things out at the last minute that leaves them feeling uneasy.
We need to make the changes, because the way we have been doing business is ending with the same results.
