Cricket Fast Bowling: How much is too much?

Cricket Fast Bowling Guidelines

With a glorious win in India recently and Summer is in full swing. Cricket is upon us again.

Cricket Australia recently released some Guidelines for Fast

Bowlers. This is to ensure that young bowlers particularly

adolescent bowlers, have a consistent and safe amount of

loading. It aims to reduce the rates of injuries in young bowlers.

We work regularly with cricket players and bowlers, so if you

have any concerns or injuries, give Kinetic Sports Physiotherapy a

call.

Cricket Australia publishes the current bowling guidelines specific to

each age group on their website at

guidelines.
