Cricket Athletic Performance Testing

Modern cricket demands elite athleticism — explosive acceleration between wickets, high-intensity fielding, and bowling run-up power. EPP tests the physical qualities that differentiate good players from great ones.

Suitable for: Youth cricketers (U10–U18), club cricketers, county academy players, adult players

What We Test
The Cricket Testing Battery

Every EPP cricket assessment covers these five tests using Photon Sports timing gates, high-speed cameras, and force-platform analysis. Results delivered as a full written report within 48 hours.

1
Sprint between wickets (20m)
Run-scoring depends on 20m sprint speed and acceleration. We test with split timing at 10m and 20m.
2
Force-velocity profile
Bowlers need explosive power; batters need first-step quickness. The FV profile produces a position-specific training prescription.
3
Change of direction — fielding simulation
Bilateral agility testing simulates fielding scenarios from both sides.
4
Countermovement jump
Relevant to bowling run-up power, slip catching reaction, and fielding athleticism.
5
40m sprint
Outfield run-outs and boundary chasing — the longest sprints a cricketer makes in a match.
What the Data Shows
Why This Matters for Cricket

Cricket has historically under-invested in athletic development at youth level relative to technical skills. The modern professional game has changed this — but the gap between what county academies provide and what club-level players can access remains large.
