A group of thirty (N=30) male subjects aged between 18-28 years were chosen for this appraisal from Guru Nanak Dev university, Amritsar (Punjab), India. The purposive sampling technique was utilized to accomplish the objectives of the appraisal. Every one of the subjects, in the wake of having been educated about objective and protocol of the study, gave their agreement and volunteered to take an interest in this appraisal. They were further partitioned into two group of 15 each i.e., N = 5; batsmen and N = 5; bowler . Student’s t-test for independent data was utilized to evaluate the between- group differences. The level of p≤ . 5 was considered significant. Investigation of data uncovered that there were insignificant differences of speed (p = 0.20), strength (p = 0.096) agility (p = 0.06) and Cardiovascular Endurance (p = 0.21) amongst Batsmen and Bowler, the calculated value of t for all the variables i.e., speed (t=1.30), strength (1.72), agility (1.94) and Cardiovascular Endurance (1.41 is smaller than the tabulated value of t (=2.048) for 28 degree of freedom. In this way, it might be presumed that the group difference between Batsmen and Bowler with respect to speed, strength, agility and endurance observed to be statistically insignificant. Whereas significant differences of static Balance (p = 0.019) between Batsmen and Bowler, since the calculated value of t for static Balance (t=2.50) is higher than the tabulated value of t (=2.048) for 28 degree of freedom. In this manner it might be inferred that the group difference between Batsmen and Bowler in regards to Copyright © The Author(s).

Introduction Cricket is a game in which fitness is generally considered as very important. The achievement in the 1990s and 2000s of the world beating Australian team has been credited to their demonstrable skill, and to some extent to the way they tended to their fitness.

High-impact Fitness is an imperative segment of fitness for cricket, with the goal that players can decrease the impact of fatigue amid long period of play, and from day to day in multiday matches. Fitter players will adapt to the warmth worry of playing throughout the day in the sun. The flexibility tests ought to be particular to the actions of cricket. Being flexible empowers more prominent scope of development in the execution of strokes, and may lessen harm in the long term. Strength ought to likewise be done to decide introductory levels and to screen strength changes in conjunction with training programs. Core stability and abdominal function capacity is vital in the controlling of development and execution of strokes. Running speed, acceleration, and agility are critical in cricket for moving between the wickets and in fielding. Overabundance muscle to fat quotients would influence the cricketer's capacity to move around the field, and furthermore increment fatigue amid training and game play. Balance and coordination is important for the controlled movements in cricket. "A sound mind in a sound body" is a decent implies that has stood the best test of time. There have been various reviews tending to demonstrates that mind and body are indistinguishable. Antiquated scholars of Greek, Aristotle, consolidated moral intellectual and physical European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 3 │ Issue 10 │ 2017 296 Ranjeet Singh Sandhu, Barinderpal Singh INVESTIGATION OF SELECTED MOTOR FITNESS COMPONENTS BETWEEN BATSMEN AND BOWLER IN CRICKET: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY excellence. At Athens an uneducated body was a much a disfavor as an untrained mind. A success of any sports and games can be accredited to many variables; however training is the standout amongst the most vital component. Diverse training methods and techniques have been ordinarily used to enhance physical fitness and related standard of performance of competitors. Motor Fitness alludes to the ability of a competitor to perform adequately at their specific game. The parts of motor fitness are: agility, balance, co-ordination, power which involves speed and strength lastly response time. Motor fitness is a term that portrays a competitor's capacity to perform viably amid games or other physical action. A competitor's motor fitness is a blend of five unique segments, each of which is fundamental for high level of performance. Motor fitness, or motor physical fitness, alludes to how a competitor can perform at his or her game, and includes a blend agility, coordination, balance, power, and reaction time. Enhancing this type of fitness is a circuitous aftereffect of training in any of these characteristics. All five components of motor fitness are fundamental for contending at high level, which is the reason the idea is viewed as an essential part of any competitor's preparation regime. Motor fitness considers proficiency of essential developments and in this manner would include such components as power, agility, speed, balance; etc. Motor fitness is a limited phase of physical fitness and can be all the more solidly characterized as a status of readiness for execution with exceptional respect for huge muscle action without undue fatigue.

A competitor with a high level of coordination of coordination can consolidate all types of fitness, not only those that are a part of motor fitness in an effective and controlled way. The more coordinated an athlete is, the more efficient he or she will be during competitive activities.

Balance is a competitor's capacity to control his or her European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 3 │ Issue 10 │ 2017 297 Ranjeet Singh Sandhu, Barinderpal Singh INVESTIGATION OF SELECTED MOTOR FITNESS COMPONENTS BETWEEN BATSMEN AND BOWLER IN CRICKET: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY body's movement, while reaction time is how quickly the athlete can respond to a changing situation. Enhancing all five parts of motor fitness is imperative for any competitor who needs to achieve his or her best. As indicated by Harre (1979) "for high level of performance, physical fitness is most important and key criteria."
