The two-day Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) workshop on video analysis concluded here in which 20 analysts from South Zone cricket associations took part to refresh their memory and redefine their responsibilities.
The workshop was monitored by BCCI officials, Sumit Malapurkar, assistant manager (cricket operations) and Ashitosh Dandige, technical video analyst.
“The role of video analysts in assessing the umpire’s role in modern day cricket has become significant. The videos have come handy to the technical officials to go through the decisions and assess the quality of umpiring. The technology is put to use to assess the standards of umpiring which is crucial for the conduct of the game,” said Ashitosh Dandige.
He said that the workshop was also conducted to elicit information on the on-field travails such as electricity connections, software snags and camera functioning, faced by the video analysts from Tamil Nadu, Goa, Hyderabad, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra, who capture the ball by ball narration of the game in the cameras fixed in six directions.
