Since its inception, T20 cricket has rapidly become a popular and exciting format of cricket. However, there is little understanding of factors such as visual-motor control that influence expert performance.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective:<\/jats:bold> The purpose of this project is to determine if a series of oculomotor measures can predict batting and bowling performance in professional cricket players.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design:<\/jats:bold> This study used a cross-sectional design. Each participant took part in a suite of eye-tracking tests to measure oculomotor behavior compared to their performance data.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Participants:<\/jats:bold> This study used a sample of 59 male T20 league professional cricket players (30 Bowlers and 29 Batsman).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> One-way univariate analyses of variance examined the differences in oculomotor behavior between batsman and bowlers. A series of multiple regression analyses was conducted to evaluate how well the visual variables predict bowling and batting performance variables. Results demonstrate that several oculomotor eye tracking measures were good predictors of run performance and strike rate, including sports total score, sports on-field score, and sports functional score. Likewise, several of the same metrics predicted Runs and Wicket performance for bowlers. Overall, results provided further validation to a growing body of literature supporting the use of eye-tracking technology in performance evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnhum.2021.768585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,24]],"date-time":"2021-12-24T08:09:40Z","timestamp":1640333380000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Oculomotor Behavior Predict Professional Cricket Batting and Bowling Performance"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Nicholas P.","family":"Murray","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Josh","family":"Lawton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Rider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathanial","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Hunfalvay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.3928\/19425864-20160314-01","article-title":"The effects of sports vision training on sensorimotor abilities in collegiate softball athletes.","volume":"8","author":"Appelbaum","year":"2016","journal-title":"Athletic Train.
