Sikandar Raza Hopes PSL Adopts IPL's No-Ball Tech
The use of digital tracking for no-balls has the potential to significantly impact the game, and Raza's comments highlight the need for the PSL to invest in similar technologies to stay competitive. As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see if the PSL takes steps to address this issue and provide a more accurate and fair experience for players and fans alike.
Sikandar Raza, a star cricketer for the Lahore Qalandars, has praised the Indian Premier League's technological advancements, particularly the digital tracking of no-balls, and expressed hope that similar innovations will be introduced in the Pakistan Super League soon.
The PSL 2025 has implemented some new technologies, but Raza pointed out that monitoring no-balls, specifically waist-high deliveries, is still a challenge. The IPL uses digital tracking to measure players' heights and compare it with the trajectory of deliveries to accurately determine no-balls, reducing human error and enhancing fairness in the game.
Raza, an all-rounder for Lahore Qalandars, believes the HBL PSL lags behind the IPL in technology, particularly in digital tracking for no-ball detection. He hopes that the PSL will adopt similar innovations soon, which would improve the overall quality of the game. The Qalandars recently lost to Multan Sultans, with Raza scoring an unbeaten 50, highlighting his skills as a player.
As the PSL continues, teams like Islamabad United are making strategic moves, signing players like West Indies all-rounder Kyle Mayers to replace Rassie van der Dussen and Matthew Short. With United remaining unbeaten in the tournament, the competition is heating up, and the adoption of advanced technologies like those used in the IPL could be a key factor in determining the eventual winner.
