Whether you’re just starting out or have been playing cricket for years, training is a crucial part of any cricket player’s routine. Playing cricket matches is a great way to put the skills you’ve learnt into practice, but there are plenty of other ways to brush up your techniques and skills. This blog from Sportsmark Group Ltd outlines some of the best cricket training aids to help you do just that, no matter the weather, your schedule, or your ability level.
Rebound net
Rebound nets are ideal for batting, fielding and wicket-keeping practice. Their adaptability allows them to closely replicate match situations, meaning they are an excellent tool for close, high and over the shoulder catching.
They can also help to develop your range hitting, as the rebounder allows you to serve the ball up before hitting it. Whether you are training alone or with your teammates, a multi-functional rebound net will guarantee a great training session for all.
Fielding coaching board
This type of training aid is used by some of the best players and coaches in the world, so it will be invaluable no matter your ability. These boards are designed to deflect the ball in an unpredictable – and therefore realistic – manner, making your training as similar to match conditions as possible.
Whether you’re training on a school playing field or a professional-standard cricket ground, a fielding coaching board can help to improve catching ability, technique and reflexes, putting even the most skilled players’ abilities to the test.
Target stump
A target stump is a must-have training aid for every cricket club, no matter the ability or experience level of its players. Easy to use and extremely adaptable, target stumps can be used for fielding practice, bowling practice, and batting practice alike. Whatever your skill level and area of expertise, this training aid is sure to improve your accuracy, reduce the likelihood of faults, and prepare you for your next cricket match.
