Teams: squad composition, role balance and the recent form read
A team read covers the squad composition, the role balance and the recent form read. The read is built from the BCCI / IPL feed, the match preview and the pitch report. The read is short because the captain logic and the boundary column are what matter, not the biography.
Squad composition is the list of players confirmed for the match. The list is published on the BCCI / IPL feed. A confirmed squad is the only squad that matters; a leaked squad is not a confirmed squad.
Role balance is the distribution of roles inside the XI. The captain role is a sub-decision. The role balance is published inside the app and may differ across formats. Verify the role balance on the captain pick ledger before locking the squad.
Recent form read is the same as the player read, applied to the squad as a whole. A squad in form scores more than a squad out of form, but the captain multiplier amplifies a single good pick. Match the form read to the format.
When is the squad confirmed?
The squad is confirmed on the BCCI / IPL feed, usually the morning of the match. A leaked squad is not a confirmed squad.
What is the role balance?
The role balance is the distribution of roles inside the XI. The balance is published inside the app and may differ across formats.
What is the boundary column?
The boundary column lists the conditions where the captain logic fails. Pitch report, toss call, format and recent form are the four that matter most.
