Principles

• Aim for all junior members to have an opportunity to play in either competitive or friendly matches (but this cannot be guaranteed depending upon the number of juniors signing on).
• Field a competitive team to maximise the chance of winning the game

Process

• A group of 5/6 players of the appropriate age to make up the core of the team
• The rest of the team will be selected from the appropriate age group wherever possible. The following considerations will be made :
• Regular attendance at training sessions
• Attitude (to coaches, to others and to the game)
• Availability
• Ability
• Players from a younger age group to be played where there are no players of the correct age group available. There may be some exceptions to this, (particularly for wicketkeepers). When selection which younger players should play at an older age group, the factors outlined above should be taken into consideration.

• Selection decisions to be communicated at training whenever possible
