“…A comparison of elite men’s and women’s injury rates in Australian cricket showed a similar incidence of medical attention injuries, as found in this study. 5 However, a higher rate of injury in domestic T20 and one-day men’s cricket was observed compared with women’s domestic T20 and one-day cricket. 5 In domestic cricket, men play more matches than women and have more consecutive game days due to multiday format fixtures.…”

“…In domestic cricket, men play more matches than women and have more consecutive game days due to multiday format fixtures. As a result, men players are exposed to more cricket with reduced recovery periods, which may increase susceptibility to injury compared with women cricketers 5. However, no difference was observed in ‘The Hundred’, a competition with similar match scheduling and rest days between the men’s and women’s competitions.…”

“…Bowlers’ workload is also limited to 20 deliveries per game (3.2 overs) in ‘The Hundred’ which is less than all other formats. This reduces exposure for bowlers, who have been reported as the players with the highest injury prevalence 5…”

“…This reduces exposure for bowlers, who have been reported as the players with the highest injury prevalence. 5 Activity at injury and injury location In both competitions, match fielding was associated with the highest TL and NTL incidence. Fielding has been reported as the activity with the highest TL incidence in men's and women's T20.…”

“…One-day cricket (50 overs) has been consistently reported as the format with the highest injury incidence in men’s cricket 2–4. While there are fewer injury epidemiology studies in elite women’s cricket, comparison of injury profiles between elite men’s and women’s Australian cricket players has revealed a higher match injury incidence in men’s T20 and one-day cricket compared with women’s T20 and one-day cricket 5. Comparisons of injury rates between men’s and women’s domestic cricket are difficult due to differences in match scheduling and available rest days, potentially influencing injury risk.…”

ObjectivesTo describe the injury profile of a novel format cricket competition (‘The Hundred’) and compare injury incidence and prevalence between the men’s and women’s competitions.MethodsMedical staff prospectively collected injury data from the eight men’s and women’s teams during the 2021–2023 competitions. Injury definitions and incidence calculations followed the international consensus statement.ResultsIn the men’s competition, 164 injuries were recorded, compared with 127 in the women’s competition. Tournament injury incidence was 36.6 (95% CI 31.4 to 42.7) and 32.5 (95% CI 27.3 to 38.7)/100 players/tournament in the men’s and women’s competition, respectively. Non-time-loss incidence (men’s 26.6 (95% CI 22.2 to 31.8), women’s 24.6 (95% CI 20.1 to 30.0)/100 players/tournament) was higher than time-loss incidence (men’s 10.0 (95% CI 7.5 to 13.5), women’s 7.9 (95% CI 5.6 to 11.3)/100 players/tournament). Injury prevalence was 2.9% and 3.6% in the men’s and women’s competitions, respectively. Match fielding was the most common activity at injury in both competitions. The thigh and hand were the most common body location time-loss injury in the men’s and women’s competitions, respectively.ConclusionA similar injury profile was observed between the men’s and women’s competition. Preventative strategies targeting thigh injuries in the men’s competition and hand injuries in the women’s competition would be beneficial. Compared with published injury rates, ‘The Hundred’ men’s presents a greater risk of injury than Twenty20 (T20), but similar to one-day cricket, with ‘The Hundred’ women’s presenting a similar injury risk to T20 and one-day cricket. Additional years of data are required to confirm these findings.
