How to do the cricket

1
Warm up with 5 to 10 minutes of jogging, arm circles and dynamic stretches. Wear proper shoes, and use pads, gloves and a helmet when batting or keeping.
2
Play your role with good technique: run in smoothly to bowl, stay low and balanced when fielding, or take a side-on stance with a relaxed grip when batting. Sprint between wickets when running.
3
Rest and drink water between overs and spells, especially in the heat.

Form tip: Protect your shoulder and back. Do not bowl or throw hard without warming up, and limit your bowling when you are tired.
