Abstract

This project introduces a next-generation cricket simulator designed to transform traditional training methods through advanced technology integration. The system combines a digitally programmable bowling machine, an LED-based bowler animation display, and a machine vision video replay system to create a realistic, data-driven, and immersive training environment tailored for professional cricketers and coaches. The programmable bowling machine is capable of delivering a wide variety of deliveries with precision, enabling customized training sessions that simulate match conditions. The LED-based bowler animation display projects full-scale, high-fidelity visuals of real bowlers to provide a lifelike experience, improving a batsman's timing, anticipation, and decision-making under pressure. At the heart of the simulator is a machine vision-based video analysis system, employing high-speed cameras to capture detailed footage of player movements. This system enables post-session analysis of key performance and fitness parameters such as head position, footwork, balance, shot execution, and body alignment. By providing slow-motion replays and annotated breakdowns, it facilitates biomechanical assessment and technical feedback without the need for wearables or intrusive sensors. The simulator's real-time feedback and data analytics offer coaches and athletes deep insights into individual performance, helping to refine technique, enhance physical conditioning, and reduce injury risks. This evidence-based approach to training supports precise intervention and continuous improvement. With its integrated use of intelligent technology, realistic simulation, and analytical depth, this cricket simulator represents a significant leap forward in modern sports training.
