LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Feb, 2020 ):For the first time in the history of the HBL Pakistan Super League, the fans and followers of the league will enjoy cricketing-action in the country's national language.
A star-studded commentary panel including Ramiz Raja, Bazid Khan, Waqar Younis and Urooj Mumtaz will call action in Urdu for five overs every innings, which will be carried on the local feeds.
This enhancement is part of the PCB's drive to provide improved live coverage to its fans and followers, allowing people to get closer to the event and the game, said a spokesman of the PCB here on Saturday.
In another new initiative, the SpiderCam will provide interactions between players and commentators during the two Eliminators and the final in Lahore, giving fans the essence of on-field action.
The coverage of the most-anticipated league will be done in full High-Definition by 28 cameras, which include Ultra motion and Super SloMo cameras, and to bring up-and-close experience of every match, SpiderCam and Hawkeye will implemented across all four venues � Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi � along with real-time graphics and augmented reality.
Joining the commentary panel for the first time in HBL PSL are Dirk Nannes, a former Australia and Netherlands fast-bowler, HD Ackerman, former South Africa cricketer, Mark Butcher and Dominic Cork, former England cricketers, and Kass Naido, while Danny Morrison, Michael Slater, Alan Wilkins, and Jonty Rhodes return to the league.
Alan Wilkins said: "It has been an absolute honour for me to remain associated with HBL Pakistan Super League since its very first game back in 2016 and I am certainly looking forward to being in Pakistan this year for the fifth edition.
