“…For a regular domestic cricket season, injury surveillance in Australia [4] and England and Wales [5], has produced generally consistent findings. There is greater risk with the shorter one-day competition formats (e.g., One-day and T20 cricket) compared to the longer multi-day first-class format (4-Day).…”

“…Bowling is generally the activity that results in the most time loss injuries [4][5]. However, this was not found for domestic T20 in England and Wales, where fielding was the activity that resulted in the most time loss injuries between the 2010-2018 seasons [5]. Consistently, the thigh (most notably hamstring injuries) has been found to be the body region with the highest time loss injury incidence, and the lumbar spine (often stress fractures) results in the most days lost [4][5].…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 enforced prolonged training disruption and shortened competitive season, on in-season injury and illness rates. Injury incidence and percent proportion was calculated for the 2020 elite senior men’s domestic cricket season and compared to a historical average from five previous regular seasons (2015 to 2019 inclusive). The injury profile for the shortened 2020 season was generally equivalent to what would be expected in a regular season, except for a significant increase in medical illness as a proportion of time loss (17% compared to historic average of 6%) and in-season days lost (9% compared to historic average of 3%) due to COVID-19 related instances (most notably precautionary isolation due to contact with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 case). There was a significant increase in the proportion of in-season days lost to thigh injuries (24% compared to 9%) and a significant decrease in the proportion of days lost to hand (4% compared to 12%) and lumbar spine (7% compared to 21%) injuries. These findings enhance understanding of the impact prolonged period of training disruption and shortened season can have on cricket injuries and the challenges faced by practitioners under such circumstances.

“…This would be despite continuous player monitoring with comparatively similar (or slightly less) cricket being played, as identified by previous research. 28 However, it may be that injury rates are consistent because of the continuous efforts and a lack of monitoring would result in an increase in injury rates but this is just speculation and would be difficult to test.…”

The aim of the current study was to capture and better understand the current perceptions of injury risk factors and player monitoring practices in elite men’s domestic senior cricket, to help guide practice in this setting. A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was used, consisting of a quantitative survey sent to science and medicine practitioners at all English County clubs ( n = 23, with representation from each club) and a set of qualitative interviews ( n = 10 from six County clubs). Previous injury and physical fitness were the intrinsic injury risk factors most frequently endorsed as being important, with reduced recovery time and congested match schedules the most frequently endorsed extrinsic risk factors. Monitoring bowling overs was the most common tool for continually assessing injury risk. Player adherence was perceived to be the main factor impacting effective monitoring, along with human resource and practical application of monitoring knowledge. The interviews revealed that communicating value, fostering effective working relationships, and a strong club culture were important for successfully implementing monitoring and prevention initiatives. Cricket presents distinct challenges for its practitioners, and more education and guidance on appropriate monitoring methods and analysis is needed.

“…Prevalence estimates suggest that low back injuries may be as high as 67%, with the fast bowling technique believed to offer some explanation for the high injury risk [ 12 , 13 , 18 , 19 , 25 , 28 ]. Recent match injury incidence further suggests fast bowling was accountable for the most injuries reported, 41.6 injuries/1000 days of play [ 20 ]. Previous research has demonstrated links between fast bowling spinal kinematics and low back pain and injury [ 1 , 40 ].…”

The use of inertial sensors in fast bowling analysis may offer a cheaper and portable alternative to current methodologies. However, no previous studies have assessed the validity and reliability of such methods. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of collecting tibial accelerations and spinal kinematics using inertial sensors during in vivo fast bowling. Thirty-five elite male fast bowlers volunteered for this study. An accelerometer attached to the skin over the tibia was used to determine impacts and inertial sensors over the S1, L1 and T1 spinous processes used to derive the relative kinematics. These measurements were compared to optoelectronic and force plate data for validity analysis. Most acceleration and kinematics variables measured report significant correlations > 0.8 with the corresponding gold standard measurement, with intraclass correlation coefficients greater than 0.7. Low standard error of measurement and consequently small minimum detectable change (MDC) values were also observed. This study demonstrates that inertial sensors are as valid and reliable as current methods of fast bowling analysis and may provide some advantages over traditional methods. The novel metrics and methods described in this study may aid coaches and practitioners in the design and monitoring of fast bowling technique.
