    With apologies for thinking about this from an equine orthotic perspective, I am currently working on a project trying to link the interaction on the hoof (foot) and the track (cricket pitch). In race horses, accelerometers mounted to the hoof have been used to quantify the braking on the foot on the surface, and this peak value with consideration to the length of time braking occurs is a predictor of injury. Horseshoes with increased traction increase this predictive value, as the foot stops more quickly. I am actually using this technology/value to examine the horseshoe-racetrack interface to lessen the risk of fatal muscle-skeletal injuries in horses (if anyone is familiar with the recent deaths of horses at Santa Anita racetrack in California, this is part of the possible explanation).
    Is it possible that less traction on the bowler's plant foot would lessen the possibility of metatarsal injury? Does the linked article "Spikes in acute workload are associated with increased injury risk in elite cricket fast bowlers" not support the possible shoeing modification of allowing some forward motion (slide) to reduce the peak acceleration?

    The horse-racetrack interface: a preliminary study on the effect of shoeing on impact trauma using a novel wireless data acquisition system.

    Dr Susan Mayes has had tremendous success at dealing with, and reducing the rate of ,injuries among athletes/dancers in the Australian Ballet .

    In particular , she and her team seem to be world leaders at dealing with foot and ankle prehab /rehab using calf raises for the calf muscle endurance , and specifically adapted doming exercises for the intrinsic muscles of the foot . ( Note ; they do not rely on calf raises to strengthen the intrinsics . )

    With regard to met fractures and their avoidance in fast bowlers , perhaps the boards that run the various international cricket teams would do well to have their own fitness /biomechanics people look very closely at Mayes and her methods .

    I wonder if elite cricketers ,and fast bowlers in particular, do any foot strengthening work to try to reduce the risk of injuries.
    Perhaps some nations try to strengthen the foot intrinsics using calf raises.

    I had a hunch that calf raises would be a poor way of strengthening the toe flexors since the toes dorsiflex when you do the calf raise exercise . Resent research into calf raises, whether with a block or a ramp, has now demostrated that this exercises does nothing for the lesser toe flexors and almost nothing for great toe flexors.

    I wonder if those in charge of elite athletes foot health will pay any attention to Torstein Daehlin et al 2023.
