About this plan

Program Type: Strength Training

Length: 6 weeks

Frequency: 4 days per week


Structured for 4 days per week, this plan works seamlessly alongside in-season training and match play, allowing players to build strength without compromising performance or recovery. You can also add extra sessions if you like.


About the Plan

Building Cricket Strength is a 6-week program designed to enhance total-body strength and functional power for cricket players of all roles. The plan focuses on developing the strength, stability, and control required to improve batting, bowling, and fielding performance.


Through compound lifts, core exercises, and sport-specific functional movements, athletes will increase power, improve posture, and reinforce the kinetic chain needed for generating force efficiently. Lower-body, upper-body, and rotational strength are emphasized to support all cricket skills, including sprinting, throwing, and striking the ball.


By the end of the program, cricket players will feel stronger, more powerful, and more resilient — able to transfer strength gains directly to batting, bowling, and fielding for enhanced overall performance.
