Need some suggestions here. But for that let me give some context.

 

I have IT experience in Analytics in terms of building dashboards in tools like Tableau and Power BI. And I personally like crunching stats and cricket data.

 

Now, presently I am happy with my job but over a long run, I wish to switch to cricket analytics. So,

 

1. What kind of jobs are available in cricket analytics?

 

2.How and where should I start?

start doing it.

 

Some time back even cricviz was looking for interns.  If you really want to make a career out of it, you will have to out-compete others to get those opportunities.  And the way to get them is to start building a body of work. Iterate away, get better at it, and eventually you can find that opening that you can grab and convert into a gig.

Start posting on twitter. Tag nerds like Harsha, Mufaddal Vohra, Cric Crazy John, etc. If your posts sare insightful, you will gain popularity. At which point offers might come your way.

Sports Analytics is a tough business. Get a graduate degree in that field. You have a Computer/math background and you will do just fine.

You can start out by using cricsheet.org They have large datasets for pretty much every game since 2002.

 

And tweet your analyses and tag folks etc. as Sandeep suggested.  If you're lucky, you can work with Cricviz who are pretty the gold standard in cricket analytics
