Im looking for some good game based practices to focus on running between the wickets
hi lisa,
what age group is this plan for?
Adults who are between basic and advanced level
Hopefully this will improve calling and running between wickets. Put players into pairs. The rest of the players set up in the fielding positions set by the bowler.
⢠Each pair faces two overs and then two new players replace them.
⢠If batsman facing or the batsman at the other end do not call correctly they lose a run.
⢠If a batsman is out they lose 2 runs and change ends. I they are run out out they lose 4 runs and whoever is responsible for the runout goes to the non-strikers end.
⢠They batting pair with the most runs wins
You could modify the rules to give the fieldsmen some reward for outstanding fielding - a catch, fielding save, throw, backing up etc.. ie. an extra 5 min next batting practice session or something else you feels fits the task.
The more fun you can make it the better the players will respond.
Good Luck.
Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results. This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.
Fielding placement in limited overs cricket is a tactical chess match that changes with every phase of the innings. This article breaks down how captains should set fields during the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs, and provides practical coaching sessions for developing game-aware fielders who anticipate rather than react.
With IPL 2026 starting this month, we break down the art of powerplay bowling - field placement, line and length, and how to turn the fielding restrictions to your advantage.
