Abstract

The great numbers of Cricket probable are available at various levels in India, and there is requirement for the establishment of fitness norms which will further contribute in the process of talent identification of Cricket players. The development of fitness norms may be helpful to support the fitness trainers in administering the fitness tests. The pattern simple mented will be helpful in setting standards for the players, identifying weaknesses and strengths of the individual player and accordingly the feedback from the output of the assessment often provides incentive and motivation for a player to improve in a specific area and to reinforce their wards of quality training.

Keywords :- Weight, Height, Anthropometry.

INTRODUCTION

The game of cricket has a known history from the 16th century to the present day. Cricket grew in England in the 18th century. It is believed that it evolved due to the interest of great landowners who tried their skills on a field of play against their tenants and the local peasantry. Past records indicate that teams from London and Kent played each other in 1719, and that Kent and Sussex met in 1728.

Today, in the modern competitive cricket era, every cricket player is in a race to excel others, and cricket competitions have become fundamental mode of human expression as they are one of the very important functions by which National and International recognition and prestige is gained. From its very simple form, Cricket has emerged into highly organized activity of Indian society and it has become a complex social and cultural phenomenon. Cricket has permeated most of our social institutions including education, economics, art, politics, law, mass communication and international diplomacy. With the aim to train The talented young cricketers and provide them scientific coaching International Research Journal of Management Science & Technology http://www.irjmst.com Page 129 IRJMST Vol 7 Issue 9 [Year 2016] ISSN 2250 – 1959 (0nline) 2348 – 9367 (Print) the Board of Control for Cricket established. The National Cricket Academyat theChinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore in 2000. Raj Singh Dungarpur, was The inaugural Chairman former President of the BCCI, and Hanumant Singh, was the former Test batsman and well-known coach its Director.

The structure of National Cricket Academy was designed by Rodney Marsh Former Australian Wicket- Keeper. He also guided the academy through its first three years of growth. The National Cricket Academy blossomed into a centre of excellence during the first three years of its growth. In 2001, the BCCI also launched five more academies for under-19 cricketers in each zone of the country.

Training camps at the zonal Academies were followed by a tournament between the zonal teams for the coveted Col. Hemu Adhikari Trophy. The mantle of taking the Academy forward was then transferred to legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar as Chairman, with former Test batsman, Brijesh Patel, the Director. Greater thrust was also given to the development of coaches and support staff in the country for many fruitful years by former England fast bowler and Victorian Coach, Frank Tyson. Former Indian Captain, Kapil Dev, gave further direction to the NCA as chairman in tandem with his former national team-mate Shiv lal Yadav as Director. M.P Pandove was the recent chairman at NCA.

The Cricket requires a certain standard of physical fitness of a player. The physical fitness tests have been selected on the bases of their relevance, specificity, practicability, reliability and accuracy and as per the standard specifications of the testing protocols. These tests have established standardized testing protocol which may require the Establishment and implementation of national benchmarks and normative values for university and club level Cricket players. Lack adequate development and keeping in view that Fitness testing normative data (norms) is indispensably needed in each sport the present study was conducted with the purpose to construct norms for selected physical fitness test battery as a gauge for sports potential among Cricket Players.

PROCEURE

The data was administered on the basis of NCA-BCCI cricket physical fitness protocol procedures. Testing for then or motive study took place over an 8month period. Random sampling method was employed for drawing of sample for the present investigation. For the purpose of the study 250Under-19 Cricket Players of North Zone were selected from different clubs/associations/universities of North Zone. Prior consent to conduct the fitness test of the subjects was obtained from the Coaches.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

A detailed statistical evaluation applied for the study. The tester’s reliability was calculated by using test-retest method and computing Pearson’s coefficient of correlation.

Descriptive statistics
