THE FIRST STEP TO BEING A VERY FIT CRICKETER
DON'T JUST PLAY CRICKET!!
What I mean is when you have set your mind on being a serious cricketer, Play other Games. I grew up in the Pakistan and when I was a young buck, I played a lot of Soccer, Hockey, Squash, Badminton, Basketball, Golf and other games on the
Karachi beach. Play any game you like that could keep you active. This will get you to become a good athlete. without even
realizing it. Without all the regimented training programs that I see many put
themselves through. I ENJOYED my ride to fitness. Shouldn't you?
As I aged like fine wine, and my libido in overdrive. I concentrated on Maintaining my fitness. Did a lot of running, cycling etc. Its always a good idea to have company when you are running. The COMPETITIVENESS with your partner can only help. Try road or track running and run with INTENSITY. Yes, Intensity in your training will give you that little extra, which will make you different from the rest. Concentrate on those legs. A cricketer needs Strong Legs.
QUICK SPRINTS should always be a part of your training program. Great preparation for those quick singles in matches. I am a believer in NATURAL FITNESS but I have also done a bit of weight training over the years. Not too heavy weights. Concentrate on that ABDOMEN. Strong abdomen, that's where the power comes from.
THE POWER TO HIT THOSE BIG SIXES !
Always wise to train during the Off Season. If you have to train hard you need to Eat Well. I don't believe in eating less to control weight. Just watch those Big
Macs... Eat well and train hard that is my motto. Have a few Red Strip, now and then, don't stay up too late before the big game. Make sure you rest whenever possible. I reserve everything for those 7 hours on the field.
