Injury epidemiology in cricket is a global concern and has provided valuable insights into the patterns and risks of injuries in cricket. Injury rates can vary considerably based on factors like playing level, format, sex and role. Male cricketers have a higher incidence of injuries compared to females, averaging 136 injuries per 1000 match days for males versus 101 injuries per 1000 match days for females. Female cricketers commonly suffer lower back injuries while bowling and thigh injuries while batting. Female fielders and wicketkeepers are predisposed to wrist and hand injuries. Amongst male cricketers, batters often sustain finger injuries, while fast bowlers are prone to lumbar stress fractures and muscle strains. Fast bowlers, particularly at elite levels, face elevated risks of overuse injuries, especially to the lower back, knee and ankle regions. Contact injuries to the head, hands and fingers are prevalent across all levels. As game demands evolve, new injury patterns may emerge. Ongoing injury monitoring allows for the development of targeted prevention strategies and the optimisation of medical support.
