Yips

Keith Medlycott developed Yips and had to abandon cricket

‘Yips’ is a mental condition when a player loses his basic skills because of some mental condition or trauma. In cricket, it is mostly bowlers who have tended to get affected by the yips. The rare condition results in a player abandoning the game early in his career.

The most recent example of this is Keith Medlycott, who was forced to abandon the game when he developed the yips. Gavin Hamilton is another player who is said to be suffering from this condition.
