 Too much cricket having an adverse effect
You look at the career of some of the great cricketers and you would realise that injuries have been part and parcel of the game, especially if you happen to be a high intensity performer.
The factors for cricketers incurring injuries so often these days are many but the prime reason is the amount of cricket that is being played these days in the name of professionalism and popularising the game.
