“…Specific risks associated with cricket include musculoskeletal injury where incidence ranged between 1.77 to 5.74 injuries per 1000 athlete exposures and was comparable across all standards of play 28 29 116 117 . There is strong evidence that lumbar spine injury had the highest injury prevalence in both male and female cricketers, 69 76 and this was most prevalent in bowlers 69 76 118 . Currently, the majority of research has focused on incidence and severity of injuries, 28 29 116 117 and causes and mechanisms of injury 64 72 73 119. There is only one primary study investigating injury prevention 83 .…”

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.
