In a cricket team, players are chosen on the basis of their legacy, current performance, form, track record etc. In the sport of cricket, there are different formats such as a One day test match, 5-day match or a 20 over match. Player selection and strategies, too, depend on the format of the game. Likewise, investing too, has its own formats known as time horizons, namely, short-term, medium-term or long-term. These time-frames critically evaluate the deployment of strategies, tactics and investment products. Different mutual fund schemes too, are based out on the various requirements of investors.
