cricketer moves his hand backward while holding a catch because when ball come towards the cricketer the ball has a large amount of force
and if the cricketers catches the bol without moving his hand backward the ball slip from his hand

and According to Newton’s law of motion,
Force=Mass*(change in velocity\speed)/time
Greater the time used to stop the ball,lesser the impact of ball on hands and thus less chances of being hurt by ball and get injured

so I hope it will help you
