Cardiovascular Conditioning (6- 8 weeks)


A player needs to continually improve on their cardiovascular functions.  A fast bowler losing breath after an over is not a good sight and without good cardiovascular base, a player will be unable to stay at the top of their game for the full 40 overs. 


Therefore, interval training would be an interesting addition to the routine, high intense cardio mixed with long continuous bout would imitate the metabolic demands of cricket. 


A strong cardiovascular base will also assist in a cricketer being able to recover quickly after a match thus allowing them to perform at their best continuously with today’s heavy playing schedule.

  • Strength and Conditioning (6-10 weeks)
  • Plyometrics (6- 10 weeks)
  • Core Conditioning program (6- 8 weeks)
  • Cardiovascular Conditioning (6- 8 weeks)
  • Flexibility
  • Mental Practises
