Exceptional fielders
Bowlers were generally not known for their athletic fielding skills till the last decade. The demands of the game were different back then. The bowlers usually refrained from doing extravagant dives or taking acrobatic catches as they wanted to stay injury free. But now in the present generation, all-rounded skills are very essential for any player to be selected for National Team. Every player in the team is expected to be athletic enough these days. Adhering to these conditions the players are molding themselves from junior level to be ready for Stern International Cricket.
These four bowlers Boult, Jadeja, Starc, Southee belong to this newer mold of players who believe in all-around skills as they have developed into premium fielders for there respective teams in spite of being premiere bowlers.

About the author
Balakrishna
Balakrishna has been a cricket writer at Sportskeeda for almost seven years. A sport that he has been following and playing since he was eight, Balakrishna enjoys the intensity of the sport, skills and strategies applied to get a result out of nowhere, and the thrill that it gives. He also played as a medium pace bowling all-rounder in four inter-college tournaments, winning twice.
Balakrishna’s all-time favorite cricketers are Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. He admires Sachin’s stellar performances against legendary bowlers, along with his discipline and humility. Meanwhile, he is a big fan of how Rohit turned around his initial struggles to build a successful career.
He avidly supports Team India and 2016 IPL winners SunRisers Hyderabad. The first World Cup that Balakrishna ever saw was the 2003 World Cup, when Australia comprehensively triumphed over India in the final.
While working, he ensures he only uses reliable sources and provides relevant, ethical, and accurate information. When not working, Balakrishna enjoys playing table tennis and reading non-fiction books.
