JKCA opens doors for aspiring cricket analysts

In a move aimed at aligning with the evolving demands of modern cricket, the Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association has invited applications from aspiring candidates for participation in upcoming workshops for Performance Analysts, an initiative aimed at strengthening the analytical framework of cricket in J&K, a JKCA official said on Friday.

According to a notice issued by JKCA, the workshops will be conducted by professionals from the Board of Control for Cricket in India Centre of Excellence (CoE), focusing on equipping participants with modern tools, techniques, and methodologies used in cricket performance analysis.

The association said the programme is being organised in view of the growing importance of analytics in enhancing player development and performance, as well as creating professional opportunities in the field.

Eligible candidates must possess sound knowledge of the game, demonstrate a keen interest in pursuing a career in cricket analysis, and be capable of contributing to the association at various levels.

Pertinent to mention that keen cricket observers from Jammu & Kashmir, particularly in Kashmir, have long been known for their sharp understanding of the game and natural ability to break down performances. Such programmes are expected to provide a structured platform for these enthusiasts to translate their observational skills into professional expertise, opening pathways to become part of the evolving field of cricket analytics.

Applicants are also required to have proficiency in operating laptops and Microsoft Office applications, along with working knowledge of handling relevant hardware, including cameras and accessories.

The notice specifies that applicants must be below 40 years of age.

Interested candidates have been asked to submit their applications, along with a CV, Aadhaar card, and details of cricketing and technical experience, either in person or via email at [email protected] by May 5, 2026 (2 pm).

JKCA, as per the notification has stated that it reserves the right to reject any application without assigning reasons.
