What is the structure of a cricket team?

A cricket team consists of eleven players. Depending on his or her primary skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A 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. 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 and valuable players.
