Researching methods to increase cricketers' bowling speed

A former batter and coach, Greg King, is researching how to help cricketers bowl faster. He found that fast bowlers excel in jumping and throwing rather than just lifting heavy weights. King's study involves measuring the strength qualities of bowlers in New Zealand and India. He is testing two training methods with students to see which improves bowling speed more effectively. Initial results show some bowlers increased their speed by up to five kilometers per hour after a six-week program. Both training approaches yielded similar improvements for junior bowlers, indicating that any training can help enhance their performance.
