ABSTRACT

Several authors of late have contributed significantly towards developing mathematical models for selecting the best possible team from a host of players in different team sports, including cricket. The performance of cricketers on the different skill sets of the game, such as batting, bowling, and fielding, is considered for selecting optimum teams. Most of these mathematical models are divided into two parts. The first part tells about a method that can quantify the performance of cricketers, and the second part tells about a method that can select a squad of players from a more extensive collection of players based on the value of their performance, taking into consideration the different constraints of team selection and expertise of players. The teams formed through different methods cannot be made to play against each other, so there is no direct way to find out which method delivers the best team. Also, no competition between optimum teams obtained through different methods was ever performed in the absence of objective methodology for such comparison. This paper attempts to compare different team selection methods and identify the best mathematical model for team selection in cricket using the fantasy league scoring system.
