The purpose  of the present study  was to investigate  the physical characteristics and co-ordination ability of  male  cricketers. A total of Sixty  four male  cricket players of  Inter-collegiate, inter-university,  State school and Senior national school levels  were selected for the purpose of study The  Weight, Height, Coordinative variables  (Speed, General body coordination, and agility) for male cricketers  were selected for the purpose of study. The test of height . weight and coordination ability were administrated physically on  all  the  subjects,  which  were  generally carried out by anthropometric  rod, measuring tape and  weighing  machine,  for the analysis purpose. For co-coordinative ability was measured by  the  Scott  obstacle  Race  Test.  To assess the physical characteristics aand coordination ability of male cricketers at different participation levels, the  means, standard deviations, and F-ratios were computed. The level of significance was set at 05 level. The results of the study revealed that  National Schools level male cricketers were taller and  heavier than  their counter parts. State school level male cricketers were found to more coordination ability than their counter parts. Statistically significant differences in weight and coordination ability  were observed among male cricketers at different levels of participation.

Key words: Males, Weight, Height, Cricket players, coordination ability, participation levels.
