 Where does it hurt?
NECK AND BACK
Cricket involves a lot of throwing that puts a lot of strain on the neck and back.

Muscle strain injuries in the neck and back are caused by sudden movements, heavy lifting or they can develop gradually as a build up of tension caused by bad posture and overuse.

Spondylolisthesis or the forward slipping of one vertebrae over another, affects younger cricketers more than older players.
