Abstract
This study investigates the morphological and motor fitness
characteristics of male cricket players in the Kashmir Valley across four age
categories: Under-14, Under-16, Under-18, and Under-22. While cricket has
evolved into a highly athletic professional sport, regional scientific
profiling—especially in unique climatic zones like Kashmir—remains scarce.
Utilizing standardized fitness batteries and anthropometric measurements, the
research identifies significant differences in motor fitness based on age, weight,
and height. Key findings indicate that bowlers generally possess greater height
and body mass, suggesting biomechanical advantages for bowling actions, while
batsmen rely more on agility and coordination. These results provide a
data-centric foundation for regional talent identification and role-specific
conditioning programs.
