Introducing The Captain’s Circle — Helping Every Player Think Like a Leader
Paul Ryan | August 04, 2025
Every team has one.
And most have three or four more who could be — or want to be — the captain.
A cricket captain is unlike any other leader in sport. Every decision — whether it’s the toss, a bowling change, or a subtle shift in the field — can shape the outcome.
But for a role with such influence, there’s no playbook. No place to turn for guidance. No modern resource to help players grow into the role.
Until now.
We created The Captain’s Circle, part of BeaconPoint Cricket Club, to support captains, emerging leaders, and anyone who wants to better understand the game.
And it’s not just for the skipper.
It’s for players who want to think more strategically, coaches guiding future leaders, and parents helping their kids grow in the game.
Inside the Circle, you’ll find:
- Leadership insights and tactical breakdowns
- Real stories from real games
- Bonus “Beacon Minis” — short explainers packed with value
- Exclusive commentary from former captains, coaches, and experts
So far, we’ve featured insights from:
- Pat Cummins
- Moises Henriques
- Murray Bennett
- Dirk Wellham
- Mark Patterson
- James Psarakis
- Paul Ryan
- …and so much more to come
Other featured insights from Phil Jaques, Mark Higgs, Michael Haire, Bryan Harper, Marc Portus and so much more to come.
