This study aimed to find out the influences on reaction time and agility response to shadow training among cricket players. To achieve the purpose of the study thirty college level cricket players were selected from The National Sports Academy at Coimbatore. Their age ranged between 18-25 years. They were divided into two equal groups consists of fifteen each. No attempt was made to equate the groups.

The data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with‘t’ ratio to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the agility and reaction time improved significantly due to effect shadow training with the limitations of (diet, climate, life style) status and previous training the results of the current study coincide findings of the investigation done by completely different specialists within the field of sports sciences.
