Cricket's unfortunate injured 11, players who have more injuries than number of matches played
Many cricketers in the world have been injured so frequently in their careers that their number of injuries exceeds number of games they have played.
Cricket is a very physical sport. Apart from the head and the unmentionables in rare instances, every body part is used to a great degree when it comes to playing the game whether it is batting or bowling. There are many alpha males and strong women cricketers who have not suffered any injuries in their playing career. However, there were some unfortunate cricketers who were supremely talented but never got the chance to exhibit their skill a lot more due to injuries. It is expected that fast bowlers will be most prone to injuries in their cricketing careers.
A fast bowler has a lot of work in cricket. He is expected to bowl fast, intimidate the batsmen and trouble them with pace, bounce and movement on a consistent basis. Irrespective of the conditions, a fast bowler is expected to cause trouble and he is the symbol that for a team to win any match, one must take wickets on a regular basis. Some bowlers have the physique while others do not possess such a body that is built for fast bowling. Some have the physique but they do not know how much stress should be put on them. Here is the unfortunate list of cricketers who have gotten injured so frequently that the number of injuries that they sustained is far greater than the number of matches that they have played in their careers.
