Academy and EPP Trial New Practice Resources
The Academy and EPP players had their first opportunity last Friday morning 27th November to test their skills on the new bowling machines from Bola. The delivery of four new professional machines, a fielding machine and a Merlyn spin machine will ensure players have the opportunity to train against anything they could face on or off island.
The approach for all high performance squads this year is to cope with extremes so batsmen from the National Team, Academy and EPP will be facing speeds between 90mph and 70mph in all sessions and real gripping turn. There will be challenging months ahead however, we are confident that we will see huge improvements over the next six months to assist our aim of producing high quality players to climb the ICC world rankings.
