The Three Cricket Shoulder Injury Patterns
Every cricket shoulder story in Bengaluru falls into one of three patterns. Pattern 1 — Fast Bowler: repetitive high-velocity external rotation → posterior labrum irritation, glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD), and secondary impingement. Prevalence ~28% in club-level pace bowlers (Orchard et al. 2021). Pattern 2 — Batter: lead-arm posterior-capsule tightness + subacromial impingement from repeated bat pickup. Pattern 3 — Wicket-Keeper: low-crouch shoulder overload + repeated catching decelerations → rotator-cuff tendinopathy.
Bengaluru's KSCA calendar (Nov–Feb domestic; corporate leagues year-round) means most club cricketers have less than 8 weeks to fully resolve a shoulder injury before the next competitive block. This is why cricket-specific rehab must be aggressive, criterion-based, and season-timed — not generic rotator-cuff rehab.
Cricket Shoulder Day-1 Assessment (Sport-Specific)
The 60-minute clinic visit combines standard shoulder testing with cricket-specific measures: Glenohumeral internal rotation ROM at 90° abduction (GIRD if > 20° deficit vs non-dominant), total rotation ROM (< 180° = flag), Y-balance upper quarter, seated medicine-ball throw test (side-to-side symmetry ≥ 90%), Constant-Murley, SPADI, and video analysis of your bowling / batting action.
ICD-10 codes M75.10 (rotator-cuff tear, unspecified), M75.30 (calcific tendinitis), M75.40 (subacromial impingement), S46.011A (rotator-cuff strain). All invoices carry clinician credentials + GST for insurance reimbursement.
Cricket Shoulder — Season-Timed Rehab Matrix
| Phase | Weeks | Clinical Focus | Return-to-Play Milestone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acute · Off-Season Reset | Weeks 1–2 | Load reduction · dry needling · posterior capsule stretch · scapular retraining | Pain-free active elevation · SPADI drop 15+ |
| Rebuild · Pre-Season Prep | Weeks 3–6 | Rotator cuff strength · plyometric progression · Y-balance retraining | Symmetric medicine-ball throw · full IR at 90° ABD |
| Return-to-Play · In-Season | Weeks 7–8 | Sport-specific throwing / batting / keeping progression · game simulation | Passes 6-test cricket scorecard · full match clearance |

7-Step Cricket-Specific Shoulder Return-to-Play Protocol
Every pattern gets a distinct protocol. A batter's posterior-capsule tightness protocol will worsen a bowler's glenohumeral internal rotation deficit. Pattern must be right on day 1.
The single highest-yield exercise for GIRD in fast bowlers. 5×45-second holds, 3×/day. Restores IR at 90° abduction within 4–6 weeks.
Rebuilds the scapular retraction pattern that carries the throwing shoulder. Prevents secondary impingement.
90° prone external rotation, side-lying ER, Blackburn ER — 3×20 reps at 6 kg by end of week 4. Cuff endurance predicts injury recurrence more than peak strength.
Two-hand chest pass → single-arm chest pass → overhead ball throws → rebounder plyometrics. Bridges strength to sport-velocity throwing.
Fast bowler: bowl to a marker at 50% intensity → 70% → net → practice match. Batter: shadow pickup → tennis-ball feed → net → match. Keeper: seated glove drills → half-crouch → full crouch with feed. Progressive over 3–4 weeks.
Pass all 6: (a) Y-balance symmetry ≤ 4 cm, (b) medicine-ball throw symmetry ≥ 90%, (c) 90° ER strength symmetry ≥ 90%, (d) posterior capsule ≥ non-dominant side, (e) 3 pain-free net sessions at match intensity, (f) SPADI < 15. Written clearance letter given.
