Playing cricket in the summer months? Fluid replacement is extremely important to ensure that you don't become dehydrated and to prevent risk of heat injury.
Take action:
Water has been shown to be useful in preventing dehydration, however a 6-8% carbohydrate sports drink, which also contains some electrolytes, is more effective in maintaining performance. Sports drinks after a match will help replenish carbohydrate and fluid losses and players should also replace lost sodium by eating salty snacks. But avoid alcohol 24 hours before and immediately after a game, as it will only contribute to dehydration.
