This study investigated the effectiveness of psychological skills training (PST) in improving performance among adolescent male cricket players (n=24). A 12-week PST package consisted of a five-step intervention using relaxation, self-talk, goal setting, focusing and visualisation was implemented. Compared to a control group, players receiving PST significantly improved batting (F-12.918, p<.05 and bowling performance (F= 7.415, p<.05). These findings suggest that PST can be a valuable tool for young cricketers, potentially enhancing both batting and bowling abilities. Future research can delve deeper into how PST works (e.g., by examining if focus or anxiety plays a role) and its influence on other mental aspects like motivation and self-confidence. Additionally, studies investigating the effects of PST on female cricket players would broaden our understanding of its generalizability.
