Cricket
When it comes to the last sport on this list, it’s hard to distinguish between cricket and rugby. Both have numbers of injuries among adults, but low among children, coming out very close to one another in total numbers.
However, in the Latrobe Valley study, cricket had the highest rate of injury out of any sport (242/1000), which merits its inclusion on the list. Among children, head injuries are common, but among adults, there is no injury location that stands out as characteristic of the sport.

No matter what sport you participate in, it’s best to always take precautions to avoid injury, including proper warmup and cooldown that can help you avoid strains and sprains.
