Place a circle of cones at least 10m distance from a single stump in the centre. With two teams (1 or more per team) and one ball start with the first player throwing at the stump with lead player in the second team backing up and returning throw at the stump.
The first players will go to the back of the line in each team and the drill continues.
If the ball hits the stump and deflects away the entire team need to rotate towards the deflected ball whilst the lead player collects the ball and trues to hit the stump. Team 1 will by this stage have rotated to back up the ball
Make sure the players stay outside the circle. Play for 5 minutes and see which team hit the stump the most to win.
The biggest T20 World Cup ever, historic qualifications, and evolving playing conditions make 2026 a landmark year for cricket. Here's what coaches need to know.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
