Cricket players during bowling, battling or playing in the outfield may suffer impact injuries from the hard ball used, thus causing boney factures, eye injuries, and possible head injuries. 3.Cricket players are often exposed to physical hazards such as heat, ultraviolet radiation from playing in the sunlight and stadium noise.
