Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Cricket Injury Epidemiology
  • Female Athlete Health

Background:

  • Professional women's T20 cricket is a growing sport.
  • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for player welfare and performance.
  • Limited data exists on injury incidence and prevalence in this specific demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document injury incidence and prevalence over two seasons of a professional women's T20 cricket tournament.
  • To identify common injury sites, causes, and types in elite female cricketers.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cohort study design was employed.
  • Injuries were recorded for 68 matches across two seasons (2016-2017).
  • Data included player demographics, injury details (time-loss, non-time-loss), and activity at time of injury.

Main Results:

  • Highest injury incidence was observed in the shoulder, lower back, and knee.
  • Hand injuries had the highest time-loss prevalence, followed by head/face (concussions) and thigh.
  • Catching-related injuries led to the most time-loss, while gradual onset injuries showed the highest overall incidence.

Conclusions:

  • Time-loss injuries, particularly traumatic ones during fielding, highlight the need for immediate pitch-side medical support and trauma training.
  • The high incidence of gradual onset injuries, especially shoulder pain from throwing, emphasizes the importance of workload management and physical conditioning.
