Form affects the performance of a player during matches. This is said to be more of a factor since the 2022 Match Engine rewrite
You may be better off picking a worse batsman who is in better form than your star player who is in worse form.
Form is split into Batting and Bowling to show how a player’s form can fluctuate in each discipline. A player’s wicket keeping ability is affected by his bowling form.
You can maintain or improve a player’s form in two ways:
- play matches regularly.
- receive coaching in a net session.
Even this does not guarantee avoiding a form slump…
Form is random. The only thing you can do to increase the chance of maintaining or increasing form is to have the player either train in the nets or play in a match during the week.
Even if the player does one or both of these he may still drop in form. It’s all down to luck!
Form works the same as skills in that there are invisible sub levels i.e. a player on proficient (8) form could be anywhere between 8.00 and 8.99.
