Abstract
Background: Hand grip strength has been an indicator for determining strength. Objective : The purpose of study was to found out correlation of hand grip strength with height and weight in cricket players.

Measurement of hand grip strength with help of S ahens hand grip digital dynamometer was done. Mean of three reading was taken as final reading. Standing height was measured using a scale mounted on a wall, in a barefooted subject in centimeter. Weight was taken using a standardized weighing scale with the subject in minimum sports regular clothing. Result: It was found that there was positive correlation observed between hand grip strength with height and weight in cricket players. Conclusion: Proper training for maintaining height and weight will increase in hand grip strength. It will further lead to better strength and performance in cricket activities like batting, bowling, throwing, fielding.
