counseling young cricketers in the academy one of the biggestreasons for fatigue that I see is poor water intake. A normalperson requires 8-10 glasses or 2-2 and a half-liters waterdaily. If you are training and playing daily then you aresweating more than normal people do and you have to drinkmore water or you will be like a plant that is not wateredsufficiently. It does not die but is drooping and withered. You will be tired and exhausted easily. Research has also shown thata person's mental capacity to calculate numbers is lower ifthe body is not fully hydrated. As a cricketer you are alwaysmaking mental calculations and you have to be properly hydratedif your brain wants to perform at its highest level. So your body and brain need the water, 3-4 liters is minimum. You need to consciously drink water, even above your thirstsignals. Don't gulp it down, keep sipping half glasses atfrequent intervals so you don't feel heavy when you run.
