Abstract
Cricket is a highly technically skilled-based game, which consists of four distinct
disciplines (batting, bowling, fielding, and wicket keeping) with varying physiological and
biomechanical demands. There are three standardized professional versions of the game,
namely, test match or multi-day cricket, limited overs or one-day cricket and Twenty-20
or T20 cricket. One-day games consist of two innings with each team getting a chance to
bat and bowl. One innings encompasses fifty overs and the game generally lasts for
approximately 6 hours. Although research has been conducted on the physical demands of
cricket, not many studies compare the differences of these demands between different
playing positions. Furthermore, there is a lack of research around the differences between
professional and amateur level cricket players.
