Abstract
This study examines the relationship between resilience, self-efficacy and psychosocial issues among university cricketers. Indigenous scale Psychosocial Issues among University Cricketers (PSIUC) was developed whereas other both scales were adapted. The sample was comprised of 180 university cricketers, selected through purposive sampling with the age range of 19-26 years (M=22.37& SD= 1.87). Correlation shows that there is no relationship of psychosocial issues with self-efficacy whereas negative relationship with resilience was found. Results shows increase in psychosocial issues whereas decrease in resilience however self-efficacy doesn't seemed to be developed among participants as it was western adapted scale and not culture specific. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that less experience and lack of self-determination indicates more psychosocial issues in university cricketers. Implications of this study is that it can be helpful for researchers in future for further exploration. Workshops and awareness programs can be arranged for cricketers as there is a dire need of counseling of cricketers, to manage their issues that can't be discuss publically
