1. Skills & Training
2. Fitness of the Batsman
3. Performance Optimization.
Other deterninants ought to include
1. Genetic factors with phenotyping specific factors outlined
2. Coaching the Rules and the impact that time and space has on performance.
3. The batting order and the all rounder.
Great question! Watching Pujara last Australian summer; 1. Psychological skill (Patience/concentration), 2. Visuomotor skill (Excellent footwork with tight technique), 3. Strategy (Limited number of shots particularly early in innings, using the 'good leave').
Purely biomechanical and only in power hitting, but:
'the X-factor (separation between the pelvis and thorax segments in the transverse plane) at the commencement of the downswing, lead elbow extension, and wrist uncocking during the downswing to explain 78% of the observed variation in maximum bat speed during the downswing.'

1/ Judgement knowledge and skills
2/ Self-efficacy for success
