Measuring batting performance and strategic behavior of batters of cricket players

Abstract

I want to propose two methods separately for investigating cricket players' strategic behavior and quantifying their performance. Over the years, researchers have made significant progress in strategy investigation and performance evaluation of cricket players. Still, researchers have barely researched strategic behavior change when players score near landmarks (score 50 or 100), and the current performance index is not accurate enough for quantifying players' performance. Considering limitations appearing in related work, I would put extra effort into furtherly investigating players' strategic behaviors when their score nears landmarks and derive a more accurate performance index to quantify players' performance. The final project will help amateurs understand whether individual incentives influence players' strategic behavior, and clubs can use an improved performance index to gain commercial benefits by identifying and recruiting eminent cricket players.
