Abstract
Cricket is a sport widely played all over world. It is most loved and played Sport in India, and many children dream of representing their Nation. Many academies are working all over India where children can go and train/practice the game. Bowlers are an important part of the team. Thus, Spin bowlers are an important role in bowling against the opposite team. Hence, to improve team performance we need to focus on improving the performance of spin bowlers as much as others. To achieve this, we need to analyze the correlation between trunk rotators strength, core strength and lower limb stability on accuracy of spin bowlers in cricket.
