“…A recent study focussing on depression in cricket sent validated screening questionnaires (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)) to professional players. The results were astounding: 57% of respondents to the survey returned positive screening results for anxiety and depression (Sahni & Bhogal, 2017). Thus, it is clear that cricket has a problem with these aspects of mental health.…”

Cricketers suffer from higher rates of depression than both the general public and other sportsmen, as evidenced by the high suicide rates amongst retired test cricketers compared with age-matched controls. This is likely due to a complex array of psychosocial factors including the nature of sportsmen that play cricket, the unique nature of the sport, the duration of matches and hence the time away from support networks and the social situation of cricketers in the pre-professional era.

Summarising and synthesising the evidence on cricket health and wellbeing can help inform cricket stakeholders and navigate future research directions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cricket participation, health and wellbeing at all ages and playing standards, and identify research gaps in the existing literature. A scoping review was performed from inception to March, 2020. Studies were included if they assessed a construct related to health and/or wellbeing in cricketers, available in English. 219 articles were eligible. Injury incidence per 1,000 player exposures ranged from 1.8-5.7 injuries. 48% of former cricketers experienced persistent joint pain. However, former cricketers reported greater physical activity levels and mental-components of quality of life compared to the general population. Heat injury/illness and skin cancer are concerns and require further research. Cricket participation is associated with an inherent injury risk, which may have negative implications for musculoskeletal health in later life. However, cricket participation is associated with high quality of life which can persist after retirement. Gaps in the literature include prospective studies on health and wellbeing of cricketers, female cricketers, injury prevention strategies, and the impact of cricket participation on metabolic health and lifetime physical activity.

“…Furthermore, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that a player's current form can impact mood, anxiety and stress, which in turn can affect performance (Totterdell, 1999;Sahni and Bhogal, 2017). Therefore, if recent form has some sort of effect on a player's present batting ability, then the assumption made by numerous studies that each innings in a player's career record can be treated as independent and identically distributed, may not be entirely valid.…”

Finding your feet: A Gaussian process model for estimating the abilities of batsmen in Test cricket

In the sport of cricket, player batting ability is traditionally measured using the batting average. However, the batting average fails to measure both short-term changes in ability that occur during an innings, and long-term changes that occur between innings, due to the likes of age and experience. We derive and fit a Bayesian parametric model that employs a Gaussian process to measure and predict how the batting abilities of cricket players vary and fluctuate over the course of entire playing careers. The results allow us to better quantify and predict player batting ability, compared with both traditional cricket statistics, such as the batting average, and more complex models, such as the official International Cricket Council ratings.

Anxiety, depression and perceived sporting performance among professional cricket players

Abstract: Undiagnosed anxiety and depression may exist in professional cricket teams and as such better screening is required. The majority of players feel some level of stress and tension are beneficial for their performance, with a slight amount being the most common perceived optimum.
