Smart Ball

This year's Caribbean Premier League saw the introduction of a new piece of sports technology, that could be a game changer for cricket. The 'smart ball' was developed by Sportcor and Kookaburra, and it's hoped it could help players from the grassroots through to the elite level. Niharika Raina is a sports journalist from India and she spoke to Sportcor Chairman, and former Australian paceman Michael Kasprowicz, about the invention. But what does the cricket community think it can contribute to the game? Former West Indies cricketer turned commentator Ian Bishop gives his view.
