DRS (Decision Review System)

DRS allows teams to challenge on-field decisions by referring them to the third umpire, who reviews footage from multiple camera angles and technology tools to make a final decision on disputed calls.

PitchVision is a training and analysis system that uses cameras and sensors to capture data on ball speed, trajectory, and spin, providing players with insights to improve their batting, bowling, and fielding techniques. PitchVision

LED stumps and bails fitted with sensors light up when dislodged, aiding umpires in determining run-outs and stumpings with greater accuracy, especially in low-light conditions. LED Stumps and Bails

GPS and player tracking systems monitor players' movements on the field, providing data on running distances, fielding positions, and fatigue levels, helping teams optimize player performance and workload management. Player Tracking Systems

Wearable devices worn by players monitor vital signs such as heart rate, body temperature, and hydration levels, providing insights into player fitness and health during training and matches. Wearable Technology

Smart stadium technologies include high-speed Wi-Fi, mobile apps for ticketing and concessions, and digital displays for live updates and replays, enhancing the overall fan experience and engagement during cricket matches. Smart Stadiums
