Hi Pandiarajn,

I believe there are two parts to cricket fitness: bowling/ batting fitness and fielding fitness. I like to hit the gym during the off-season and run, bike and weight training - I find this helps with all disciplines when the season re-starts.

With bowling/batting fitness it`s good to build a strong core (sit ups etc) but you also need muscle memory, this is acheived by bowling and batting in the nets. I also like to do yoga moves to keep my back loose.

With feilding it`s about quick, intense movements so short sprints and jogs around the field to build stamina will help.

Hope this helps,

Paul
