Cricket training

The game of Cricket has historically been known as "the gentleman's game. Cricketers are certainly  the fittest athletes on the planet. Often it is remarked that Cricket is physically an easy game which requires one to stand on the field for most of the day and requires little running, jumping or strength.

However with the introduction of one day Cricket, the game has gone through major changes and the physical demands made on a cricketer's body has also increased dramatically. No longer can a batsman just continue to defend away for overs, he has to often use his strength to hit big sixes. The highly-developed levels of fielding in the modern times require a player to have strong shoulders and arms to make direct hits at the stumps. It requires a rigrous training to be a perfectionist in cricket. 

 

You should train with weights use compound movements like squats over isolation movements Compound movements are best suited to build real overall strength that can be utilized on the field. Think of it, when you hit a six do you think you only use your arms to generate the strength? If that were the case then you would be able to generate the same power even if you were suspended in the air and asked to hit a six. Surely you cannot hit a six in that position as you would not be able to use most of the muscles in your body to generate that much force. So train using mostly compound movements.
