During the modern times, researchers have notably increased their knowledge, grounded on literature, with regards to the relationship between core stability and athletic performance. Number of research studies have also been completed that underline the benefits of core stability training on injury prevention or performance, but in combination with other training modalities such as speed, power, strength and agility. Although several studies have investigated core stability benefits in athletes but there are very limited studies have presented the role of Pilate training in increasing the core strength and stability of cricket players in order to maximize their performance in the game. This study will contribute in describing the effects of Pilate training in cricket players.
