A team consists of eleven players. Depending on his or her primary skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler.
A well-balanced team usually has five or six specialist batsmen and
four or five specialist bowlers. Teams nearly always include a
specialist wicket-keeper because of the importance of this fielding position. Each team is headed by a captain
who is responsible for making tactical decisions such as determining
the batting order, the placement of fielders and the rotation of
bowlers.
A player who excels in both batting and bowling is known as an
all-rounder.
One who excels as a batsman and wicket-keeper is known as a
"wicket-keeper/batsman", sometimes regarded as a type of all-rounder.
True all-rounders are rare as most players focus on either batting or
bowling skills.
