The Perfect Cricket Warm-up with Chinmoy Roy

by Chinmoy Roy Friday 16 August 2019

How to warm-up correctly for a cricket match with Chinmoy Roy, exclusively on Cricket World TV.

Drill set-up

Place pole-1 as a starting block
5 metres from pole-1 place 5 speed hurdles each at a distance of one stride length. The hurdles are 6 inches in height.
From the last of the hurdle place pole-2 at a distance of 15 metres. Therefore, the distance from pole 1-2 is 20 metres.
From pole- 2 to pole 3 the distance is again 20 metres.
From pole- 3 at a distance of 5 metres place 6 poles diagonally each at two stride length distance.
Distance between pole-3 to pole-4 again is 20 metres and pole-4 to pole- 1 is 20 metres
It is clearly a 20 metres square

Technical cue

While going over the hurdles concentrate on nice and tall body position and smooth knee drive.
Remember it is the beginning of the warm up. So start slow and easy.
Same applies while weaving through the poles. Easy twist and turn at the beginning. Don’t rush through.. Gather more intensity around the 3^rd round.
The stride through from pole 4 to pole 1 is at 50% intensity in the first round.
Increase the intensity of the striding as the round progresses.
In the video I have said about each dynamic stretch for 3 repetitions because of lack of time. You must do each dynamic stretch 5-10 repetition. Use 6-8 stretches for lower extremity. 3-4 stretches for upper extremity.
