Abstract Background: The most exciting aspect in the game of Cricket is bowling. Adolescents shows increased involvement in sports due to which there is a risk and severity of sport injury. Few studies are there which correlate anthropometric characteristics and performance tests having age, BMI, skinfold thickness with power, speed tests in adolescent Cricket bowlers. Objective: To relate the BMI, Skinfold Thickness and speed and power of adolescent Cricket bowlers. Methods: A sample of 400 Bowlers will be recruited based on predetermined set of inclusion criteria from recognised school by multistage sampling method for cross-sectional study. Power and speed will be estimated by 6m timed hop test and 50-yard dash test respectively. Stiatistical Analysis: Results will be expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). Data will be screened for normality using the Kolmogorv-Smirnov test and summarized using descriptive statistics. Pearson’s correlation coefficient will be applied to establish the relationships among the variables measured. Conclusion: This study will help in determining the relationship between BMI, Skinfold thickness and speed and power in adolescents Cricket bowlers.
