How will Applicants be selected?
The applicants will each be scored on their cricket skills and athletic ability and their respective scores will tallied at the end of the trial. The athletic abilities test will specifically measure speed, endurance and strength, while the cricket-skills test will be sport specific i.e. batting, bowling or wicketkeeping, catching, and fielding. Upon the subsequent narrowing of the pool of applicants based on their respective performance scores, the top performer will be awarded a contract and the remaining two (2) contracts will be awarded by lottery i.e. placing their names into a box and selecting at random.
Terms of the Contract
Terms of the contract in relation to training, discipline, work-ethic and performance shall be monitored and strict in its compliance in order for the offeree to continue to benefit; in other words, if the offeree does not train according to a set programme and perform then the contract will be terminated.
Mentorship

Interested applicants are invited to the Everest Cricket Club where registration and the trial will begin at 2pm tomorrow, the release concluded.
