Please please look after your shoulder muscles, they are inherently weak as fook,
Throwing a cricket ball is not really good for them,and eventually it will end in tears.
There are exercises out there to strengthen the muscle group,, Dorian Yates you tubes worth a look.

Once the shoulders are damaged tho, your never gonna be as strong as before the damage was done, unfortunately it's incredibly easy to damage them

You could have warned me, 25 years too late though.

Yup
I can't throw the ball anymore, ,my bowlings not too bad tho.
Wouldn't change the way I've played cricket etc, but, might have gone to the gym a little bit more

Pretty much the same with me, bowling hasn't really been affected and it hurts like a B!T$h when I throw.

I injured my shoulder last season, stupidly changed my training routine, one incorrect movement. Over last summer and the winter I've returned to my old training method and concentrated on getting the shoulder back in its socket and strengthening the shoulder joint. I can now throw again, I still get the odd twinge from time to time but its a lot better and feels more solid. I recommend seeing a specialist first, but you can reheal to an extent with the right shoulder strengthening drills.

Little update for me, looks like I'll be getting an orthopaedic assessment soon. In the meantime, an occasional customer of mine popped in yesterday who does Rolfing (deep tissue manipulation). She did some work on my shoulder and spotted a few problems, manipulated here and there to the point of agony in some places and it feels a hell of a lot better today.

Rolfing?
Gonna google that
