They have to be quick between the wickets, (running between the wickets so they can get maximum runs). some need speed to bowl faster, to get momentum and increase speed swing etc... They field is quite large and fielders need to: (a) get to the ball quickly and cover a lot of ground, and (b) once the over is finished they need to switch sides or run to a new position, if you have ever seen a T20 or even a test match, the cricketers need to be agile and quick, as well as co-ordinated to take those fantastic catches.
