Swing is a complicated art, and how it works depends on the individual, we are all biodynamicaly different.

Remember%3A always make sure the rough side of the ball is facing in the direction you want it to swing.

Look carefully at your grip position. The ball is tilted with the seam at a slight angle towards the off side (for a right handed batsman).The two fingers at the top grip the ball just on and outside the seam rather than either side of it.

The condition of ball is important and you should work on shining one side of the ball only. Angle the seam towards the off side but keep it vertical.

The shiny side of the ball should be on the right hand side of the seam.

Your bowling action is also important if you want the ball to swing. If you have a side-on action when you reach the crease, you’ll have a greater chance of moving the ball in the air.

I hope that this helps.
