Psychology Based Selection
by sharan kalashetty on Mar 26, 2007 02:00 PM

Team should be selected based on the Psychology of the players.This should be the first criteria. In armed forces, this is the selection process (for Officer Cadre) bcoz what they believe is, if a person's psychology is suiatable for that job then he can improved even from scratch. They are not selected on the basis of physique in the beginning. Later they build the candidate in the cruical areas like war, disaster management etc. U can build the person according to the requirements of the game. if they r mentally strong then half of the match is won.
Therefore psychological tests must be conducted to asses the suitability of the players to the game. Bcoz its no more a game now. Now Cricket is played more as a mental game.
For this reason BCCI must take initiative of adopting this method and try it on the young boys (under 14). Select the players and train those who get through the tests. Its like a cricket school.
