Abstract

Anthropometric qualities and somatosensory profile give data about essential groundworks of an individual concerning the devices of engine capacity. Cricket is most well known sports in India yet not very many studies have been carried out on unambiguous anthropometric attributes of the cricketers. Thus, the present review was done to investigate the particular anthropometric and somatotype qualities of the cricket players as indicated by their areas of specialization. An all out 60 male cricketers with the mean time of 17.58±2.09 yrs were characterized into three classes and absolute 13 Anthropometric parts including somatotype profile have been assessed. Bowlers have more prominent level, more noteworthy arm length for useful at season of bowling conveyance. The somatotype attributes of the batsmen are 2.8-3.9-3.3, trailed by bowlers (2.8-3.8-3.4) and all-rounders (2.9-3.8-3.5). Generally speaking, these somatotype attributes of the cricketers have a meso-ectomorphic physical make-up (2.8-3.8-3.4). The current review features that the locale level cricketers of West Bengal have mesomorph constitution followed by ectomorph.
