]]>
May 30, 2017: Today at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy, Intel executives took the stage to share new innovations Intel is bringing to the tournament. These include advanced pitch analysis by an Intel drone, profiling the bat swing using a bat sensor powered by an Intel® Curie
module, and bringing a cricket VR experience to the fans at the stadiums. These technologies will be showcased at the ICC Champions Trophy in the UK, starting June 1, and will help enhance the tournament experience for fans, players and broadcasters using data, analytics and visualization.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Intel as our Official Innovation Partner of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017,” said David Richardson, CEO of the ICC. “The innovations Intel is bringing to the game promise to transform how cricket is experienced and enjoyed around the world, and we look forward to partnering with Intel in this effort.”
Intel Sports Group Vice President Sandra Lopez highlighted the role of technology in transforming the way we play and view sports. With higher levels of digitization, Intel is in a unique position to enable the sports industry to capture and analyze data to uncover and respond to new insights in real time. “Our goal is to lead the way forward into the digitization and personalization of sports, transforming the way fans and athletes experience sports,” Lopez added.
Later, Anuj Dua, director of marketing for Intel’s New Technology Group, detailed the innovations Intel is bringing to the current edition of Champions Trophy.
Drones
In a first at the Champions Trophy, the Intel® Falcon
8 Drone, equipped with HD and infrared cameras will be used for advanced pitch analysis before every match. Images captured by the drone will offer rich visual data on pitch conditions such as grass cover, grass health, and topology, which will be used to generate daily pitch reports leveraged by commentators during broadcasts.
Bat Sensor
During his presentation, Dua also introduced a new bat sensor powered by the Intel Curie technology that can be mounted on any cricket bat to generate data for every stroke that the batsman plays. With this technology, parameters like back-lift, bat speed and follow-through can be tracked for every cricket stroke. Several batsmen will use these bat sensors in the games at the 2017 Champions Trophy, enabling new insights on stroke play and rich story-telling in broadcast.
Speculur Managing Director Atul Srivastava added, “Speculur BatSense with Intel Inside has the potential to transform cricket across a varied audience from coaches to aspiring self-taught cricketers.” “Coaches can use their insights and expertise along with the bat sensor data to make specific adjustments to a batsman’s technique ultimately helping him perform better,” Srivastava added.
Speculur also announced plans to bring this technology to consumers later in the year. With Speculur BatSense, hundreds of thousands of young and aspiring cricketers will soon be able to measure, track and improve their batting skills. Speculur plans to make Speculur BatSense with Intel Inside available in Australia, India, the United States and the UK in the second half of 2017.
Former English Captain turned commentator, Nasser Hussain who joined Dua on stage stressed that technology has and will continue to positively impact cricket in a lot of ways. Player performance, Game strategy, adjudication and fan experiences will all change with the introduction of new technologies to the sport.
Virtual Reality
Intel is also showcasing innovative experiences for in-stadium fans. Virtual Reality (VR) experience zones at The Oval and Edgbaston will allow fans to experience facing a virtual bowler in an immersive cricketing environment. Using a head mounted display (HMD), the player will be able to test his or her batting skill against a virtual bowler. Using the Intel Curie technology enabled cricket bat, the player will be able to see data from their swing such as bat speed and back-lift angle as well as a simulated score from the VR session.

]]>27 April 2017: The countdown to announce the eight owners of Cricket South Africa’s new #T20 Global Destination League has begun.

The deadline for submission of ownership bid documents is 28 April at 17:00. CSA announced its intention to host its own global T20 tournament with a worldwide tender notice in February this year, requesting Expressions of Interest from potential owners.
With phase two of the process approaching completion, potential owners have one last opportunity to submit their documents.
The tournament will include top international and local cricketers and will highlight South Africa as a world-class destination to watch cricket and at the same enjoy the tourism aspects of the country as well. In March, CSA received more than 150 Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from potential owners as part of the first phase of the process. The majority of interest came from South Africa, making up 39% of the total EoIs received, with India making up a whopping 35%. There was also significant interest shown from the UK, USA and the UAE.
“We have already seen great interest from South Africa and abroad in our franchise teams, and we anticipate some last minute submission applications from potential owners ahead of our 5pm deadline on Friday, 28 April,” says Haroon Lorgat, Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) Chief Executive.
To date CSA has signed eight marquee international players and eight marquee Protea players as part of the league. Each marquee Protea player will be allocated to a new franchise team based in the city he has either been historically associated with, or a city with which he can build a strong association.
“This is an opportunity that cannot be ignored. We are looking for prospective team owners who are passionate about cricket, as well as South Africa. They will share the same values and ideals in cricket and the country as we do,” added Lorgat.
The process to acquire one of the eight city-based teams is managed by EY. Following the submission of formal bids, CSA will evaluate the qualifying bids received and announce the successful owners in June.
The #T20 Global Destination League is set to knock cricket fans expectations out of the park with the tournament starting in early November and the final scheduled for 16 December.

Mumbai, April: This IPL is all set to be a special one! Other than the fact that this is the tenth season of India’s most loved cricketing event, it has also marked the coming together of two of the best teams in their respective fields.

Taiwan Excellence made their debut as sponsors for the IPL by tying up with the Mumbai Indians franchise as their official partner. The confluence means the coming together of the best, considering that both brands are names to reckon with. While the Mumbai Indians have a tremendous fan following owing to their power-packed performances in the previous IPL seasons, Taiwan Excellence too is known for its stellar technology brands that offer some of the most cutting-edge innovations. It is a symbol of the best quality products from Taiwan’s superlative IT industry that has a very strong presence across the world. Taiwanese brands like ASUS, MSI, GIGAbyte, Plustek, and others rank high in the popularity quotient in India.
Taiwan Excellence Award, which is an initiative of the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade, represents the innovative and technological image of Taiwan’s most competitive industries. It is a symbol of outstanding reliability, innovation and added value for business solutions as well as consumer products.
The tie-up with Mumbai Indians has been initiated to create awareness for Taiwan Excellence and also to reiterate the fact that both teams believe in excelling in their fields and delivering superb performances. Said Mr. Michael Lin, Director of the Taipei World Trade Centre Liaison Office in Mumbai, “Just as the Mumbai Indians are hot favourites and one of the best teams in the IPL, Taiwan Excellence too is one of the most celebrated technology producers in the world. This partnership means an amalgamation of two of the greatest teams in the business.”
Mumbai Indians have been a successful team with a consistent track-record in the IPL having emerged winners in 2013 as well as 2015.
For Taiwan Excellence, this was also an opportunity to be associated with a sport that has a massive following in India. Cricket is one of the most loved and admired games in India, and is followed by people across all age groups and genders. Said Mr. Michael Lin, “Cricket is followed so passionately in India and the Mumbai Indians are one of the finest teams of IPL. They have managed to win the hearts of people with their superb performances. We thought by collaborating with them, we could make a place for ourselves in the hearts of all their fans. People in India already have a great regard for products from Taiwan. We want to strengthen that bond by reaching out to them through a platform they love the most.”
Taiwan Excellence has also introduced several unique promotional activities to bring in the element of fun as well as create awareness for the tie up. The Taiwan Excellence pavilion at the Sachin Tendulkar stand at Wankhede stadium is a splendid example of innovation. A special booth has also been designed to resemble a Facebook wall that will display technology from Taiwan as well as VR games to engage fans.
Said Mr. Michael Lin, “We also have interactive activities on the digital platform as well as offline to promote the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion. All of these activities have been designed in keeping up with the spirit and passion for cricket in India. We have special giveaways for fans which have already become huge hits.”
Taiwan Excellence also has plans on cards to invite players from the Mumbai Indians squad for other marketing initiatives once the IPL season is over.
The Mumbai Indians will play their 2017 season opener against the Rising Pune Supergiants on April 6th. The MI brigade has some commendable names from the cricket fraternity, such as Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga and Mitchell Johnson among others who are known for their power-packed performances.
Said Mr. Michael Lin, “We believe this is the perfect tie up for Taiwan Excellence and will create a great position for us in the minds of youth. This tie up will offer a huge platform for our brands through on-ground cricket action and magnify the impact by reaching out to a larger audience.”
The tie-up between Taiwan Excellence and Mumbai Indians will last till the end of the 2017 IPL.

]]>“The Arena” – the sporting turf at the Bhawanipur Education Society College (BESC), was witness to a flurry of gaming activities, a last adrenalin rush, before the students transit into the exam mode and prepare to smash and volley through academics.
The spectacle was flagged off with the Bhawanipur Premier League Tournament (BPLT), in which 540 students, spread over 90 teams of 6 players each, wielded the willow in a knock-out format where rules of indoor cricket applied. Flagged off by Miraj Shah, the Vice Chairman of the Institution, the trophy was lifted by Team Y captained by Nawaz Jahangir. They were followed by Team HH (Captain -Md. Shamshad) as the runners up and Team I1 of Utkarsh Singh taking up the 3rd Place. 
The Intra-College Badminton Tournament too attracted spirited participation with 36 teams vying for the doubles event and 150 students smashing and lifting in search of fame in the singles category. The games were spread over 12 days, which witnessed terrific competition as well as flashes of sportsmanship. After some extremely entertaining rallies and the exhibition of not only great racquet wielding skills, Subhojeet Kundu emerged as the winner in the Boy’s Section, followed by Krishna Saraf. In the girl’s fixtures, Harshika Dalmiya became the champion, with Anjani Parmar as the runners up. The Doubles / Mixed-Doubles trophy was lifted by Subhojeet Kundu & Akash Kedia while Simranjit Singh & Harshika Dalmiya took the trophy for the second best. The finals were played under artificial lighting and the trophies were given out by Pof Dilip Shah, the Dean of Student Affairs, BESC.

Next in line was Futsal – a sport that calls for extreme skills and fitness and is fast gaining ground in terms of popularity, especially among the young, the world over. In keeping with BESC’s tradition of being the prime mover, students have taken on the game with whole hearted enthusiasm as was evident from the participation and the crowds that gathered to cheer respective teams during the tourney. In all 28 teams vied against each other for the mantle of the champions. After a series of exciting (and exacting, not to mention exhilarating) matches, the team lead by Jeffin Mathews and the team captained by Rahul Kumar Gupta reached the finals. The finals were played out on 25th of March in the presence of dignitaries and appreciative crowd. Team Jeffin emerged victorious by a narrow margin.

The Basketball tournament was the ultimate in the series of sporting events scorching the turf. A total of 14 teams – 11 boys and 3 girls – participated in the tournament which not only witnessed a flurry of deft moves and incredible “dunks”, but was also appreciated for the overall proficiency of the students in the game. Closely contested and cheered by an appreciative crowd, the tournament did not call a time-out, proceeding to the finals on the 29th of March. The team led by Shiva Bai and the team captained by Anmol Gandhi slogged it out with the ball bounding and rebounding from one basket to the other. In the end, team Shiva triumphed, but only so, with team Anmol having given a very spirited fight. In the girl’s section, the team led by Priti Kumar Mishra emerged victorious

All the trophies were handed over by Prof Dilip Shah, the Dean of Student Affairs of the College.
“It is extremely heartening to see our students doing so well in so many diverse sporting activities” said Prof Dilip Shah. “Sports and games, apart from working as a catharsis, go a long way in instilling values of hard work, dedication, team spirit …. Values that stand one in good stead not only in academics but also in life. I thank each one of you – the ones who have scorched on the arena and the ones who have silently worked in the background to make these events into hugely successful ones – for the dedication and the hard work. The trophy may have been carried by the winner, but the real winners are the ones who toiled, without even being in the contention of the prizes. Yes, I am talking about the volunteers. Their contribution as always, is prize less. It is contributions like these that make BESC what we are – Champions!”
