Some statistics which clearly show that in these two regions number of cricketers are more than footballers.

Is it a right sentence? or do I need to use only STATISTICS.

In this case, it would be acceptable to say, "Statistics clearly show that in these two regions, the number of cricketers are more than footballers."

No. You need to change it a little. You certainly don't need "which".

Statistics clearly show that in these two regions there are more cricketers than footballers.

faisalkhanshow or shows?
show, because the reference is to many numbers, not to the academic discipline called "statistics".

Statistics is a difficult subject. It is very complicated.
The statistics are available if you'd like to see them.
