Role of Cricket Grounds in The Selection of T-20 Cricket Team
Abstract
This study delves into the intricate relationships that exist between T-20I cricket match spot conditions, team lineups, batting and bowling performances. We may fully comprehend the dynamics of the sport by closely examining four crucial latent factors: ground effect, team combination, bowling performance, and striking performance. We carry out extensive reliability assessments on the observed variables to guarantee the consistency and dependability of our data. To verify the applicability of our model, sophisticated statistical methods such as chi-square goodness of fit tests and multiple fit indices are utilized. Using the AMOS program, the structural equation model provides insightful information about how cricket performance is impacted by ground conditions. The results clearly show that playing conditions have an enormous effect on team combinations, which in turn influences team strategies. The investigation clearly shows that ground conditions do have an impact on individual batting and bowling performances, but they are not the main factors. This research has important managerial and coaching implications for cricket, since it offers valuable information for improving team tactics, player choices, and in-game adjustments. Understanding how the ground conditions interact with other factors might give an advantage over competitors, even though they are not the only element influencing individual performances.
