 Where does it hurt?
LOWER LEG
Batsmens’ shins are protected from the ball by pads, but they are not protected from shin splints caused by running on a hard pitch.

A calf muscle strain can be caused by twisting or pulling the muscles or by being hit in the back of the leg by a cricket ball. Chronic strains are usually the result of overuse.
