The Board Control for Cricket India ( BCCI ) is working over time to ensure that on field umpires have the help of technology when it comes to calling fornt foot no balls in the 2020 season of the Indian premier league (IPL).

while the operation was started during the second test between india & bangladesh in kolkata , it will continue in the upcoming West Indies series.

The board is testing the Technology of geting run-out cameras to pick no-balls so that umpires do not Miss the landing of the bowlers foot an area which came under heavy criticism in the last edition of the indian premier league(IPL).

Not just in the IPL , it has also been a world-wide issue with the first team between Australia and Pakistan in Brisbane also coming  under the scanner as 21 No-Balls were missed in  First two sessions of the second day .

Speaking  with  IANS & BCCI  Joint_secretary Jayesh_Georg said that is all about  an innovation & that the new regime will keep no stone an  unturned to ensure that new Technology is embraced.

"Yes, is a work in a progress . IPL has always stood for innovation . Our end eavor is to make sure that every season of the Indian Premiere League ( IPL ) sees new technology come in and helps in progress of the game . more importantaly ,why should a player suffer if Technology can help erase the issue? ," He said.

Asked if the data collected through the Windies seriese will then be taken up for discussion by the board officials and  the IPL GC members he said :  " Along with my colleagues ,we want to take a second look at the whole process after the data is collected and them move forward with the idea."

The camera's used for checking Run-Outs by the Third-Umpir are the ones that are being used for the process & it is clicking 300 frames per-second.This frame then can be zoomed into as per the wish of  operator.

The Idea was first floated in the governing council of the Indian premiere League( IPL ) earlier this month and a GC had said : " if all goes well, during the next Indian Premiere League (IPL) , you could see another Umpire ,apart from the regular Umpires just to observe no-balls . The concept sounds weird, but this was among the issues discussed in the Indian Premiere League ( IPL ) GC meeting.

"We want to use the technology . we have another Umpire for only observing no balls. There will be an umpire , who will be focused on no-valls only. And he will not be third of fourth umpire ," he added.

former Australia kiper rickey ponting,also made his displeasure,known after the mess in the Brisbane game & called for Third-Umpire to take calls on No-balls.
