In terms of injuries sustained, Field Hockey has about 2.5 times more injuries per player than cricket. Field hockey injuries requiring medical attention are in the region of 17 per 100 players per year, while cricket is in the region of 7 per 100 players per year. As a comparison, association football (soccer) is in the region of 28 injuries per 100 players per year.
This is because field hockey is a limited-contact sport, where players are not supposed to come into contact with each other, but because of the nature of the game, contact is inevitable. Cricket is a non-contact sport, meaning the nature of the game results contact between players being near impossible (two batters not looking where they're running or two fielders trying to catch one ball can still collide with each other). In both sport, most of the injuries comes from being hit by a fast-moving ball, or by pulling a muscle/tearing a ligament/twisting an ankle, etc.
Cricket is far more dangerous than Baseball because in cricket you have a ball that is just as hard as a rock coming at the body at up to 100 mph and even though most body parts are protected some aren't whereas in baseball the balls are softer and to get hit it has to be a wild pitch
