on the improvement of skills during training sessions. However, there is a certain level of physical effort required to execute these skills optimally which tend to get little focused attention during training. This could lead to players being physically unprepared for the demands of a match. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the physical demands of a one-day cricket game and a training session of provincial cricket players, using GPS units. Methods:The study employed a quantitative design as it essentially collected numerical data from GPS units to describe and analyze the physical demands of ODGs and cricket training sessions preceding these games.   Results:There were significant differences across all sub-disciplines and movement categories during training and ODGs for provincial cricket players.
