A BOOK on improved injury prevention and management in Malaysian cricket has been released by Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) and Johor Cricket Association (JCA). “Drawing on both academic expertise and practical experience, the publication is grounded in real-world demands faced by cricket players and support staff. “Dr Muhammad Noh’s involvement with the Johor cricket team during Malaysia Games (Sukma) 2022 played a key role in shaping the book’s applied approach,” said Prof Faidz during the launch at Dato Dr Harjit Singh Johor Cricket Academy and Oval in Johor Baru. “It is an important step in embedding research and evidence-based practice into cricket development,” said Prof Faidz. UTAR vice-president (research, development and commercialisation) Prof Zuraidah Abd Manaf said the collaboration highlighted the institution’s commitment to translating academic expertise into practical community resources.
