One area where crick­et dif­fers not­ably from many oth­er team sports is the man­age­ment struc­ture. The Eng­land team have coaches, they have a cap­tain, and then there are the select­ors. Oth­er inter­na­tion­al sides have sim­il­ar arrange­ments. The respons­ib­il­it­ies are shared between mul­tiple parties. In some ways this is a good thing — the team cap­tain has sig­ni­fic­ant respons­ib­il­it­ies which enhances their stand­ing and their author­ity on the pitch. Oth­er sports have the coaches, and the cap­tain, but they usu­ally have a single key fig­ure of respons­ib­il­ity — the man­ager. The closest fig­ure in crick­et would seem to be the chair of select­ors, but this seems to me to be a role that comes with lots of power and pre­cious little account­ab­il­ity. Is the cur­rent sys­tem really the best? How might crick­et teams bene­fit from a “man­ager”, and what might the role of a man­ager be? I’ll try to make the case for intro­du­cing a man­ager for the Eng­land crick­et team and see if I can per­suade you.

I’ve felt for quite some time that the Eng­land man­age­ment setup isn’t based on a ration­al ana­lys­is of what would work best, but is simply based on his­tor­ic­al pre­ced­ent. The cur­rent arrange­ments seems to me to have the fol­low­ing sig­ni­fic­ant prob­lems

  1. A dis­join­ted “com­mit­tee” approach that obscures respons­ib­il­ity
  2. No-one tak­ing respons­ib­il­ity when things off the pitch go wrong, instead play­ers are left to deal with issues them­selves
  3. A lot of respons­ib­il­it­ies on the cap­tain, when the cap­tain should be focused on their indi­vidu­al per­form­ance, and team tac­tics on the pitch

The first issue is evid­enced by some inex­plic­able choices in selec­tion — for example when Simon Ker­rigan was pre­ma­turely picked against Aus­tralia, was utterly demor­al­ised by being smashed around the park, and hasn’t seen inter­na­tion­al crick­et since.
The second issue is evid­enced by a long cata­logue of issues with play­ers men­tal health and play­ers beha­viour. In recent years there has been the pre­ma­ture retire­ment from inter­na­tion­al crick­et of sev­er­al lead­ing play­ers includ­ing Mar­cus Trescothick, Jonath­an Trott, ۽ گريم Swann. There have also been issues with play­er beha­viour off the pitch includ­ing Fred­die Flintoff (Ped­alo-gate), Ander­son & Broad urin­at­ing on the pitch, ۽ سڀ کان تازو بين Stokes هڪ nightclub ۾ هڪ fracas ۾ ملوث. And on top of these there has been the Kev­in Pieterson affair which has con­trived to deprive Eng­land of the best bats­man of his time.
The last issue may seem less sig­ni­fic­ant with Joe Root look­ing prom­ising in the role, and his pre­de­cessor Cap­tain Cook opt­ing to con­tin­ue play­ing des­pite los­ing the cap­taincy. اندرياس Strauss به شروعات رٽائر, and his form as an open­er suffered from the demands as cap­taincy. جڏهن ته ساڳئي انجنيئر Vaughan لاء به چيو ٿي سگهي. Ask­ing an open­ing batsman/captain to go out for the toss, and then do media inter­views, instead of pre­par­ing for their innings, would be unthink­able in oth­er sports.

I believe that hav­ing a mature and exper­i­ence fig­ure­head could be effect­ive in man­aging these sorts of issues to the long term bene­fit of the team. The most obvi­ous example to start with is one of the most effect­ive and famed man­agers of mod­ern times, retired foot­ball man­ager Sir Alex Fer­guson.

Tak­ing each of the issues above, let’s ask if that issue or some­thing sim­il­ar is likely to have occurred amongst the Manchester United play­ers dur­ing the 27 years that Fer­guson was man­ager? اڳيون, جي پڇن ٿا ته ڪھڙي طرح ان جي ڊگهي مدت ۾ ڪڍي ڪم آڻي, and how suc­cess­ful the team was after­wards.

1. ذهني صحت

The simple rules of aver­ages sug­gest that numer­ous play­ers must have had men­tal health issues whilst play­ing for Fer­guson. The pres­sure and fame would be com­par­able to play­ing for Eng­land. The cri­ti­cism from the press and pub­lic could be even more relent­less. The import­ant record though is that there is no sug­ges­tion that any play­ers retired pre­ma­turely under Fer­guson due to men­tal health prob­lems. On the con­trary — super­stars like Dav­id Beck­ham and Chris­ti­ano Ron­aldo have gone on pub­lic record to describe Fer­guson as a “Fath­er fig­ure” that they could approach for help with any issue inside or out­side of foot­ball. Who would an Eng­land crick­eter approach as a Fath­er fig­ure in the cur­rent setup?

2. جي اوج بند

Fer­guson was rightly renowned for his approach to man­aging off-the-pitch beha­viour. The very best play­ers want to be the best, ۽ اھو ان کي مٿن واضح ڪيو آهي ته جيڪڏهن اهي ته حاصل ڪرڻ وارا ٿيا, اتي ضابطن اھي ڪندي رهي آهي هئا. In the early days there were some play­ers who didn’t toe the line. Fer­guson set a clear example in the early days with the drink­ing cul­ture and sold 2 of United’s top play­ers Nor­man Whiteside & پولس McGrath. He later inter­vened with a young Ryan Giggs who chose to fol­low the rules and had a record set­ting career.

3. شڪار تي توجهه

No mat­ter what happened on or off the pitch, Fer­guson pro­tec­ted his play­ers in pub­lic. Play­ers could give inter­views after the match, and were giv­en needed media train­ing. Over­all respons­ib­il­ity lay with the man­ager and he would share that out in a way that he felt wouldn’t dis­tract play­ers from their num­ber 1 job — win­ning games. Respons­ib­il­ity for strategies, tac­tics and train­ing was also dis­trib­uted from the man­ager to oth­ers.

A man­ager role for crick­et would of course be dif­fer­ent from that in foot­ball. The play­ers seem to be more mature, ميڊيا glare ڪافي طور تي سخت نه آهي, and the team have a dif­fer­ent pat­tern of being togeth­er. There are also long tours abroad which foot­ballers don’t have to deal with. There should be a great­er role for the cap­tain than in foot­ball, one of the things that is bet­ter about the cur­rent crick­et sys­tem. None of these dif­fer­ences makes the role sig­ni­fic­antly more chal­len­ging to imple­ment than in foot­ball.

I believe that with a “fath­er fig­ure” man­ager Eng­land could rap­idly become the world num­ber 1 پاسي. The play­ers would have clear­er bound­ar­ies to help them avoid mis­takes in their private lives, a “fath­er fig­ure” to sup­port them with the demands of being a pub­lic fig­ure and oth­er life chal­lenges, a “pro­tect­or” from the harsh glare of the mod­ern media, and more time to spend on their train­ing and play­ing.
