not only for cricket.. u need power, stamina and endurance for most of the sports.
to improve ur stamina/endurance level, u can do long distance running,cycling or swimming. & increase ur speed gradually.
To improve ur power, u can do bench press , push ups, squats & leg press. if u r working out in a gym, dnt need to use heavy weights. just use some light weights & do more reps.
Also, flexibility is very important, so that do some stretching exercises & make sure to do some warmup exercises before every session.
those r the only things i can think of right now... will share more later..
Meditation & yoga might probably help u on concentration..
Hope this will be helpful to u & All the very best!!

I have played cricket for the past 30 years, and can honestly say that by far the best exercise you can do for cricket is Yoga. I did it for a couple of years before my daughter was born (5 years ago) and found that it was so much easier to bowl and I had less problems with injury, due to being a lot more flexible. The effects of this 2 years of yoga lasted for about 3 years afterwards also, with the past couple of seasons starting to feel the strain again, hopefully time will allow me to resume yoga classes again this season.

Okay, to the point.
Stretching- 1.Back Flexion - Lie on ur back.
Pull both knees to ur chest.
Hold for 10 seconds.
Rock back & forth with ur chin tucked into your chest.
2. The Hip Flexion (hamstring) - Lie on your back, holding the right leg with the hands.
Keep the opposite knee bent.
Straighten the knee as far as you can.
Hold for 10 second, then do the same with the left leg.
3..The Hip Flexion - Lie on your back.
Pull the right knee up toward the chest as far as you can.
Hold for 10 seconds, then do the same with the left leg.
The Back rotation- Lie on your back with knees bent & feet together, arms out to the sides. Bring the knees near the chest.
Rotate the knees to the right as you turn your head in the opposite direction, until u feel a *stretch*.
Hold for 5 seconds., the drop knees to the left. Repeat this several times, rotating lnees from left to right.
My favorite & easy of all excercises is
The Hip Abduction - sit with your knees bent, feet together.
Hold the ankles & bring heels close to inside.or groin?
Press the kness down toward the floor, leaning forward & pressing with your elbows.
Hold for 10 seconds at least.

Running is very much important, warm up. You got to make your back and shoulders strong whether you are a bowler or batsman/woman. Skipping is also good for stamina. Sometimes a bowler has to bowl continously like in test matches so he/she needs lot of stamina.
