Hi Donte,
Improving your catching skills in cricket requires a mix of technique, drills, and practice. Hereâs a structured approach to train effectively:
Focus on Technique â Keep eyes on the ball, use soft hands, and position fingers correctly (reverse cup for high catches, cup for low catches).
Drills â Practice high, low, and reflex catches with a partner or rebound net.
Reaction Training â Use tennis balls or rubber balls against a wall to improve reflexes.
Fielding Fitness â Work on agility and hand-eye coordination with ladder drills and reaction exercises.
Consistency â Practice regularly under different conditions (light, wind, pressure situations).
I hope this helps,
Cam
