| A cricket field is not quite as gentlemanly a place as people would like to think. Hand, finger and shoulder injuries are very common – after all, a cricket ball is a heavy object, and when it is travelling at 130km/h (the speed reached by many provincial fast bowlers), it is not surprising that injuries result.
But it is not only the batsmen and the wicket keepers that are at risk – fielders and bowlers are also sometimes laid low by injuries. Muscle-tear injuries, such as pulled hamstrings, also result from players running flat out between the wickets, or when inner-ring fielders rapidly change direction during fielding.
Read more about these, and other common cricket injuries.
