| has gloss | eng: The captain of a cricket team is an individual who, during the course of a match, has several additional roles and responsibilities over and above those of a regular player. As in other sports, the captain is usually an experienced cricketer with good communication skills, who is likely to be one of the most regular members of the team; indeed the captain often has a say in team selection. Before the game the captains toss for innings. During the match each captain decides the teams batting order, who will bowl each over, and where each fielder will stand. While the captain has the final say, decisions are often collaborative. A captains knowledge of the complexities of cricket strategy and tactics, and shrewdness in the field, may contribute significantly to the team's success. |
