weak core muscles

I'll tell you something, the core is the single most misunderstood part of the body in cricket.

My first question would be this: How do you know weak core muscles are to blame for your back injury?

Second, if you have tight muscles in your hips, core training is not going to help too much. You need to stretch and work on your mobility.

Anyway, you can't go far wrong with training your core but it should be part of a proper balanced training plan that trains all your muscles and energy systems you need for playing better cricket.

Don't fall for gimmicks, learn what your core does and replicate it in your training.

Jogging, eating meat should help do a trick or two and my favourite, push ups!!
