Question

Why does the cricketer draw his hands backwards while catching a ball? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

While catching a ball, a cricket player lowers his hands, because by doing so, he increases the time of catch. That is, the person increases the time to bring about a given change in momentum, and hence rate of change of momentum decreases. Thus, a small force is exerted by ball on the hands.
