Avenesh Seetaram, the Performance Analyst with the senior men’s team is conducting a series of workshops along with seminars and one-on-one in-game training and support with the six (6) analysts assigned to franchises competing in the West Indies Breakout League which began on Friday April 25 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.
The six regional analysts will go through several tutorial sessions which focus on enhancing their individual development, coordinating with their respective players and coaches as well as understanding what the role demands at the international level. This initiative is part of a wide scale push to combine data analytics with game strategy while creating a pathway for regional analysts to develop an appreciation for the modern game.
CWI’s Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe, sees the involvement at the feeder level as instrumental, in a strategic push to incorporate all the bases from the international level.
