Answers -
Bowlers - 4
Batsmen - 3

• No of bowlers = x
  no of batsmen = y
  
  excluding 1 bowler,
  (x - 1) = y => x - y = 1 -------(1)
  
  excluding 1 batsman,
  2(y - 1) = x => 2y - x = 2 ------(2)
  
  solving (1) and (2),
  Bowlers - 4
  Batsmen - 3

• each bowler has same number of batsmen and bowlers
  => excluding 1 bowler, no. of bowlers = no. of batsmen
  i.e. x - 1 = y
  
  Each Batsman has twice many Bowler as Batsmen.
  => excluding 1 batsman , 2(y - 1) = x

• The problem stated that it consists of 7 players. first part of solution is as follows:
  every bowler in the sense remaining bowlers are 3 and batsmen also 3 then each bowler is equivalent to same no. of bowlers and batsmen.
  second part of solution is as follows:
  every batsmen in the sense remaining batsmen are 2 and bowlers are 4 so it is twice as many batsmen.
