Not every training session needs to take place at the cricket club. Some of the best batting improvements come from short, consistent practice at home. Shadow batting in front of a mirror helps develop technique, while reaction ball drills improve hand-eye coordination. Tennis ball throwdowns against a wall are another excellent way to improve timing.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, working with an experienced batting coach will help refine your technique further. STUMPS allows you to find cricket coaches offering one-to-one batting sessions, helping you build confidence before stepping out to the middle.
