The present research intended to determine the level of Motivation for achievement
among Manipur's male(M) and female(F) cricket players. To gather information for this
investigation, the researcher chose 100 participants, 50 of whom were M and 50 of
whom were F athletes who had competed in tournaments at the national and state levels.
The participants were between the ages of 15 and 25. Using the achievement motive test
created by Dr. V.P. Bhargava, the essential data for the current investigation was
gathered, and the subjects' degree of achievement motivation was assessed. The
corresponding questionnaires were scored by their manuals. To determine if a
significant difference existed and which way the mean scores of the variables differed
between Manipur's cricket players (M and F), with the help of a “t-test”. The
significance level is set at the 0.05 level. The calculated value (t= -2.423) is less than the
tabulated value (t=1.984), confirming that there is no significant difference in the
achievement motivation of M and F cricket players.
