https://cricket-selection-ga.herokuapp.com/

Steps used:

1. Initialize population
2. Calculate fitness values for each chromosome
3. Apply roulette selection or stable selection for selecting chromosomes for crossover in the next step
4. Select a random gene for crossover
5. Implement mutation for a chromosome
6. Create new population with half of them produced by crossover and the other half by selection of the fittest
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 while the stop condition is not met or until user intervention of the process

Todos (for personal reference)

• More data to be used for implementation. Also provide team selection stats for various game formats and for this the APIs that can be used are:
  • Roaunaz cricket API
  • Kaggle
  • NDTV
  • HowzStat
  • RPubs
  • Cricksheet
  • CricketCountry
  • HowStat
  • ESPN
