It (cricket) requires one to assume such indecent postures

Summary

This quote is likely referring to the physical positions and movements that players in the sport of cricket must adopt while playing the game. Cricket involves a variety of unique postures, such as fielding in low crouched positions or bowlers contorting their bodies to deliver the ball with different techniques. These postures may be deemed "indecent" due to their unconventional nature or how they may appear to be awkward or unnatural to outsiders who are unfamiliar with the sport.
