Warm-up before the game

After playing cricket in NJ and being able to watch it closely for last 10 years, I’ve noticed that we do not properly warm-up beforehand. Knowing the nature of our cricket grounds with heavy outfield, uneven surface, and one-week duration b/w games, it is critical to prepare the body with a proper warm up for a 6-7 hours game.

Most cricketers in NJ play only once a week, which means their muscles are not prepared for a lengthy game. Hence, if a proper warm up is not done, cold muscles become more prone to injuries. This could be compared to driving a car in freezing cold weather. It is best to allow the car to warm up before accelerating it to high speeds.

Even a simple warm up can increase the circulation throughout the body, and help to recognize niggles or illness & prevent a further injury. A good workout consists of a solid warm up, a period of stretching, increasing the heart rate and a cool down period, which often includes stretching
