Hi Louise,
This is a really common problem. To put it simply players, see more fun and excitement in a game than training.
But the only way you get better is by practicing. That is the first thing you need to impress on your players. They will they never find out how good they might be at cricket if they don`t put any effort into their training. They might be one of the worlds best players, but they will never know without practicing hard.
You need to try to make training fun and interesting with a lot of variety in their practice sessions. You need to try different sessions to find out what works for them. Ideally they will eventually look forward to learning new things and the challenges that practice offers.
There are lots of drills on here, have a look and see what you think or even get your players to review them for you. They will quickly tell you which ones they see as the most fun and useful.
Try and find out something each player would like to improve and introduce them to training sessions that will help them improve.
If they have some input and ownership into their training they are far more likely to be willing participants at training.
Good luck.
