Fielding can be one of the most underrated components of the game. Every player must field and mistakes in the field can have serious consequences in the game of cricket. All players should spend a good deal of time working on their key fielding skills. These include:

  • Throwing (powerfully and accurately)
  • Catching – Flat and High Catches
  • Stopping the ball

We have included in this session some video content to watch and practice.
