STRATEGY OVERVIEW
Vision
Make cricket the leading competitive sport in the Maldives and achieve excellence on the international stage.
Mission
To put in place a result oriented development and administrative structure which will create an enabling environment for cricket to grow and prosper.
Values
Focus The secret to success in cricket is the players’ focus. If a team concentrates on collective goals and individual aspirations that are complementary to each other, victory would no doubt be within reach.
Timeliness Respect for set time patterns and deadlines is an essential part of life as in cricket. Timeliness teaches us to respect deadlines and increases our sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Trust Without a good understanding and trust for ones teammates, a team would not get together in a desired manner. CBM values, aim to build trust among cricketers, administrators, peers and parents, and indeed everyone involved in cricket activities in the Maldives.
Caring Cricket is a game of human emotions and strong affiliations and ties. Players learn to work as a team, give selflessly to ones mates and place the goals of the team before ones own aspirations. In the process, players learn to care for each other, and to develop close friendships.

Achieving Excellence
Maldives Cricket has entered a new and exciting phase in its senior and international cricket development with the entry of a new generation of cricketers in to the senior team. The next four years will see the senior and national team change completely as players trained under the development programme take reigns of the team. This, together with changes in regional cricket, will bring new challenges to the team which needs to be met head on to make the Maldives a formidable power amongst regional cricket developing countries.
Coaching and Management
A full time coach and management team to be in charge of the national team. This will be the key to the success of the national team. This will ensure an environment that promotes excellence both as a team and individual players.
Selection
A streamlined Player Pathway for players to move into the senior squads and a selection process that involve all the key stakeholders of the game.
Contracting and Renumeration
Attract players to the national team and retain them through a comprehensive contracting, remuneration and incentive programme.
Playing opportunities
Explore and secure additional playing opportunities regionally and internationally.
Elite Development
Expand the quantity and quality of one on one coaching offered to elite players through the cricket academy and find overseas training scholarship opportunities for such players.
Junior Elite Development
Provide targeted training for age group national squads to ensure regional success.
The Business of Cricket
Several changes have taken place in the governance of cricket with the adoption of a new constitution and the first general election in 2008. Maldives Cricket has also done impressively in the past in securing finance for the game, especially through sponsorship. However, the recent economic downturn and competition from other sports have impacted Maldives Cricket finances and programmes. Our challenge over the next four years will be to find new sources of financing, while consolidating existing sources and strengthening the governance of the game.
Governance
Maintain high standards of governance by strengthening the role of the Executive Board.
Management
Ensure that all activities of the Board are managed efficiently through the use of detailed business plans, clear delegation of responsibilities and meaningful performance reviews.
Staff
Have a CEO who will manage Maldives Cricket with a team of full time staff who are result and goal oriented.
Finance
Ensure the financial viability of Maldives Cricket by seeking new sources of finance and utilising existing capital assets.
Sponsorship and Marketing
Build on relationships with existing sponsors through improved networking and finding opportunities to introduce new products to sponsors. Develop a new approach to marketing, taking into account new competition and to remain a trail blazer in Maldives sports marketing.
Events
Develop an annual event calendar and deliver well organised, vibrant and exciting events.
Cricket For All
Maldives Cricket has been in the forefront of adopting new methods and styles of communication to take the game to a wider audience. While we have been successful in this endeavour there is much that can be done to utilise media as a tool of information sharing and linking Maldives Cricket with stakeholders and the public.
Social Cricket
Create opportunities for everyone to take part in cricket activities, with special emphasis on keeping retired and veteran players in the game by establishing social competitions and a Master’s League.
Database Management
Review existing database systems and put in place a long term database solution that will meet the needs of players and management, while ensuring the archival quality of Maldives Cricket data.
Website
Develop the website and make it a clearing house of Maldives Cricket data, which is accessible to all stakeholders.
Volunteers
Attract volunteers by providing incentives and opportunities
Cricket Facilities
One of the biggest challenges for Maldives Cricket is the lack of cricket infrastructure, especially a proper cricket ground. Despite this, developments undertaken in the Ekuveni Ground and the cricket nets have allowed for uninterrupted cricket activities over the last four years. In 2011, a new cricket ground was opened in Fuvahmulah island; a historic first as this is the first dedicated cricket ground and the first facility of this stature developed outside the capital. It has created opportunities to take the great game out of Malé.
Cricket Ground
To complete the Pavilion at the Ekuveni Ground as a focal point for cricket activity and as a source of finance for Maldives.
Expanding Facilities
Ensure that players in the Maldives Cricket development programme in all parts of the country have access to cricket facilities with special emphasis on practice facilities, and grounds in at least four regions of the country.
Cricket House
To streamline and rationalise under the banner of “Cricket House” the services available at the Board office, such as the Gym and audio-visual media room.
