Background: Since cricket is one of the most widely practiced sports in India among all age groups, it is growing in significance globally. Bowling is one of many sports activity that demands intricate synchronization between the upper and lower extremities. Stability in this area is suggested to be necessary for both injury prevention and peak sports performance because the core serves as the connecting element between the upper and lower extremities. By preparing the body holistically, safely, and effectively, core strengthening promotes balance and postural control. Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that there will be no effect of core strengthening and agility training on balance of cricketers. Methodology: The study was a single group pre-test post-test quasi experimental design. The study recruited 12 participants, between the age of 21-26 years and were recreational cricket players. The study recruited both male and female recreational cricket players with the % of males being 57% and females being 43%. The pre-test and post-test analysis was done using the Y-balance test. The intervention was divided into three broad sections warm up phase, training phase and cool down phase. Results: The normality testing of the data showed normal distribution. Thus, paired t-test was applied to obtain the difference between pre-test and post-test value scores. There was significant difference between the pre-test and post-test values (p-value<0.05). Discussion: In sports, the core is especially crucial since it offers "proximal stability for distal mobility." Force is delivered from the core, sometimes referred to as the powerhouse, to the limbs via the muscles that span the upper and lower limbs. Maintaining a neutral spine is first necessary for stability, but going beyond the neutral zone needs to happen gradually. As depicted by the results of the study, core training, agility training are concomitantly related to the balance training strategies in athletes, this can be justified with the fact that the overall performance of an individual is subjective to the capacity to maintain balance is influenced by both the motor and sensory systems. Conclusion: An overall training regime inclusive of core strengthening and agility training can improve core strength, agility and balance in sports persons
