Hi Ram,
Rather than strength conditioning wicketkeepers should be concentrating on suppleness, agility, flexibility and improving your reflexes.There is a YouTube video that covers the sort of exercises needed and demonstrates them much better than I could ever explain.

Simple exercises taht could be done easily at home.
Using these exercises and a regular running routine will help with your fitness when you aren`t at training.
As wicket keeping is something that relies a lot on reflexes I would suggest taking up Table Tennis in the off season. It is a great way of not only improving your reaction times, but of also improving your fitness and agility.

Go to Youtube and in the search bar type in:

You should get a video from Ben Scott. There will also be plenty of other videos for wicket keeping on the right.
Hope you find it useful.
