Zimbabwe and represented Bangladesh before having played a single first-class
match. Mashrafe Mortaza
captained his country in one Test and seven One Day Internationals (ODIs)
between 2009 and 2010, whatever injury meant he was in and out of the side and
Shakib Al Hasan was appointed captain in Mortaza's absence.

was acclaimed as the fastest bowler for a long time that Bangladesh had
produced. At present Shahadat Hossain is considered quicker bowler of

Mashrafi Mortaza uses aggressive bowling to challenge batsmen.
As a naturally aggressive player of Bangladesh team, his accurate bowling has

some pace. Mortaza has tried to
develop his use of reverse swing in an attempt to become a more effective

Cricket
is an open-air game played on a large grass field with a ball, with bats, and
two wickets between teams of eleven players, the object of the game, cricket,
is being to score more runs than the opposition team. Cricket is mainly played in
Britain and in territories formerly under British ruled, like Australia, S.
Africa, West Indies, New Zealand and Indian subcontinent. The full game of
cricket with two innings per side can last several days; shorter single-innings
matches are usual at amateur level and have become popular at professional
level since the 1960s.
The
history of women's cricket can be traced back to a report on 26 July 1745 and a
cricket match that took place between the villages of Bramley and Hambledon
near Guildford in Surrey. Bangladesh cricket has made another significant step
in right direction by launching first ever National Women Cricket Championship.
Women One Day internationals are played since 1973 and first ever Women’s
Cricket World Cup was held in 1973 in England in which they emerged as
champion.

defines as the injuries which occurs during sports activities.
Injured players in
cricket may be defined as the player who gets injuries during practicing,
during training session and during playing national and international cricket
match following one year.
Bangladesh
is a South Asian country and one of the developing countries in the world.
Though in Bangladesh cricket become a very popular game. Some cricket playing
countries have studies about cricket injury, but unfortunately in our country
there is no such study about injuries among women. For this the team management
can not able to introduce a problem oriented training program to prevent the
common tennis injuries in perspective of Bangladesh. That is why the women
cricket players more frequently get injuries. The Physiotherapy has a great
role in injury prevention and treatment after injury. So, it is very helpful to
the player and also for physiotherapy profession to study more about sports
injuries like cricket injuries and the role of the physiotherapist in case of
prevention before injury and treatment after injuries.
Bangladesh
has minimum number of graduate physiotherapists. But without evidence, practice
is not valid for the profession in specific geographical area. So, to develop
an evidence to help strengthen the physiotherapy profession in Bangladesh and
for the great interest, researcher would like to do this study about cricket.
Moreover, after completing this study we can know the common injuries, possible
preventive measure and also treatment and these will be helpful for both women
cricket player and also for the physiotherapy profession.
