The International Cricket Council (ICC) Friday announced a star-studded line-up of commentators for the upcoming edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup, scheduled to begin from May 30 in England and Wales. The list includes game’s most respected broadcasters Nasser Hussain, Ian Bishop, Melanie Jones, Kumar Sangakkara, Michael Atherton, Alison Mitchell, Brendon McCullum, Graeme Smith, and Wasim Akram. From India, former cricketers Sourav Ganguly, Sanjay Manjrekar along with veteran commentator Harsha Bhogle have been named in the panel. Other big names who will commentate through the tournament are Michael Clarke, Shaun Pollock, Michael Slater, Mark Nicholas, Michael Holding, Isa Guha, Pommie Mbangwa, Simon Doull, Ian Smith, Ramiz Raja, Athar Ali Khan, and Ian Ward. ICC TV will produce live coverage of all 48 matches being played over 46 days, as well as full live coverage of all ten warm-up matches for the first time. Viewers will be treated to state-of-the-art coverage which will include a minimum of 32 cameras at every game, including eight ultra-motion Hawk-Eye cameras, front and reverse view stump cameras and Spidercam. For the first time at a Cricket World Cup, the broadcast will produce 360deg replays, which allows multiple cameras feed to be stitched together to create a stunning video that helps provide in-depth analysis of big moments in the game. The coverage will also be complemented with a variety of analytical and visual enhancements including the use of Player Tracking. The drone camera will also provide stunning visuals of all venues across England and Wales. There will be a roving Buggy Cam as well, for a ground-level view of proceedings. The host England and South Africa will play in the World Cup curtain-raiser on May 30 at The Oval.
