It would be nice to get into that role.There is lot to do in captains role.Often when i field or bat, i keep on thinking about which bowler to bowl, how to plan a target or run chase, which field to set and many relevant things.So it is not going to make me tense if i get an opportunity.Yes, rotating the bowlers well and ensuring the overs are completed in allocated innings time is crucial.Also keeping the team members playing in spirit of the game is important.The more match experienced the captain the better.
The most important off the field task imo is the team meeting.In some cases the cricketers approach captain or team mates if their own whites or shoes are damaged and temporary arrangement is required for next day.The club website and data updation is taken care by one or more cricketers who may not necessarily be the captain.The head coach and assistant coaches take up roles of scheduling inter city tours and local matches.Coach takes up the responsibility of co-ordinating with the sponsor to get clothes and some gear sponsored by them.We also have a facebook page which is used to post team selections and tournaments fixtures , so that those who have missed the nets can keep track of all important tournaments.Telephonic conversations is done by captain as well as clubmates.The off filed tasks of the captain are shared amongst various club cricketers.
