To ensure transparency and consistency, we adhere to the following principles:

• Performance and Skills: Players are chosen based on recent performance, skills, and suitability for the upcoming match. Effort during games and training sessions is also taken into account.

• Commitment: Regular attendance at practice sessions, punctuality, and dedication to the team are key factors in the selection process.

• Team Balance: Selections are made to create a well-rounded team, balancing batting, bowling, and fielding strengths to suit the game conditions.

• Communication: Players must confirm their availability promptly for matches. Late or inconsistent responses may affect selection.

• Inclusivity: We strive to provide opportunities for all members, regardless of skill level, while ensuring a competitive lineup for every game.

• Rotation: In non-competitive games, efforts are made to rotate players to ensure everyone gets playing time and a chance to showcase their abilities.

• Discipline: Players who demonstrate respect, good sportsmanship, and adherence to club values are prioritized during selection. Disciplinary issues, if any, may impact a player’s selection.

• Selection Authority: The final team selection is made by the captain and/or the selection committee, who consider all relevant factors objectively.

Player Responsibilities:

• Confirm availability for games promptly.

• Communicate any changes in availability directly to the captain or selection committee as soon as possible.

• Respect the decisions of the selection committee and maintain a positive attitude towards teammates and the club.

Feedback and Appeals:

Players are encouraged to seek constructive feedback on their performance and areas for improvement. Concerns about selection decisions can be discussed respectfully with the captain or selection committee.

By following this process, Shaheens NY Cricket Club ensures a fair and transparent selection system that supports team goals while fostering individual growth and development.
