Selection Guidelines

Selecting a cricket team is challenging given many positions are limited to a small number, such as the wicket-keeper and top-order batsmen. We strive to maintain a happy and enjoyable environment where all players feel valued and rewarded for their effort.


Balancing competitiveness with inclusion is not without its difficulties. Our goal is to keep our selection framework transparent and consistent whilst upholding the club ethos of finding a balance between selecting competitive sides and inclusion.


Our selection guidelines, determined by the Goodwood Cricket Club Committee, aim to ensure clarity and overall fairness for all players. The Selection Committee includes Team Captains, Head Coaches, and is chaired by the Chairperson of Selectors.


To assist the Goodwood Cricket Club Committee has agreed upon the following selection guidelines to assist the selection committee, which is made up of the team captains, head coach and chaired by the Chairperson of Selectors.


The following points are all considered equally:

  • Performance in games
  • Attendance at training
  • Financial status in regard to cricket fees
  • Attitude & Behaviour in games and at training
  • Contribution made to the club
  • Communication with the head coach
  • Junior cricket background (The Committee is committed to junior cricket and the development of junior cricketers who choose to play at Goodwood and continue from juniors to seniors)


Team Selection Process

  • Two-day teams are selected before one-day teams.
  • Players must advise the coaching staff and the Chairperson of selectors if they do not wish to be considered for two-day cricket.
  • The two-day teams are then selected in order (e.g. A Grade first, then B Grade, then C Grade), with the Coach, Chairperson of Selectors and intended team’s Captain selecting the sides, often with input from the other two-day team Captains.
  • In the event of a dispute over a selection decision, the Coach, Chairperson of Selectors and team Captain will vote, with each vote carrying an equal weighting, and a majority ruling.
  • After the two-day teams are determined, any remaining unselected players become a squad to available for one-day team selections.
  • The one-day teams are then selected in order (e.g. A Grade first, then B Grade, then C Grade), with the Coach, Chairperson of Selectors and Captain selecting the side, often with input from the other one-day captains.
  • Players are to be selected using the published Senior selection guidelines.
  • An un-financial player cannot be selected if it means a financial player misses out on playing altogether.
