County Championship umpires to trial cameras – and assist England player selection
England understood to be first country to use such tracking technology in domestic game

Umpires in the County Championship will wear cameras attached to their chests when the new domestic season begins in April, the first time the technology has been used in the professional game.

The innovation, which will be trialled during some Championship games that begin on April 6, will involve umpires wearing i-Hawk cameras. These will record details about each delivery – including the line, length, bounce, speed, swing and seam, just as is done in a Test match – with the hope that this will help England to make more informed decisions about player selection.

England are thought to be the first country to use such technology in their domestic system. The trial is planned to continue in later rounds of the Championship and, most likely, the One-Day Cup too.

The technology’s scope could eventually be expanded. The data recorded by the i-Hawk cameras could provide a more scientific basis for pitches to be evaluated, and could even be used to evaluate umpires, by assessing the proportion of correct decisions they make.
