Cricket can be a physically demanding sport, particularly within a representative environment. The following video depicts exercises designed to improve cricket specific movement patterns. Leg stability, strength and power play a major role within cricket (particularly unilateral), aiding in foot placement, agility, bat swing and bowling efforts. Any rotational movements involved are generally associated with action execution i.e. bat swing, ball delivery, throwing etc. These rotational motions act to continue the momentum developed from leg drive into the desired action e.g. back foot cut shot. An emphasis on these movement patterns will aid in streamlining and improving performance.
