ICC U19 Cricket World Cup UAE 2014 set to break broadcast records
Following on from its world-class production of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, Star Sports will produce 11 matches in High Definition (HD) – the most matches ever at an ICC U19 CWC.
The event is set to reach an estimated audience of 1.3 billion, thanks broadcast agreements secured by Star Sports. This includes the continued coverage by ICC broadcast partners, Fox Sports in Australia, Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, OSN across Middle East and North Africa , ESPN in North America & the Caribbean and Sky NZ in New Zealand.
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will be the main TV venue for the tournament while one match from the Sharjah Cricket Stadium will also be broadcast live. All televised matches will be covered using 14 cameras, including ball tracking and virtual graphics provided by Hawk-Eye.
For the first-time in an ICC event, LED stumps will be used to provide the television viewers and spectators at the venue an enhanced experience. The stumps and bails illuminate when the bails are dislodged, giving the broadcaster and the crowd a true indication of when a batsman is out. They will be used for the semi-finals and final only.
The live broadcast will be complemented by a world-class commentary team, which includes Harsha Bhogle, Sanjay Manjrekar, Damien Martyn, Danny Morrison, Jonty Rhodes, Wasim Akram and Alan Wilkins.
Nitin Kukreja, Star Sports, said, “The ICC U19 Cricket World Cup is a premier tournament which showcases cricket’s future super stars. We have mounted an unprecedented production and broadcast effort to take cricket aficionados even closer to the action than ever before. We are confident that cricket fans will enjoy introduction of LED stumps for the very first time in an ICC tournament which will further enhance the broadcast experience.”

'Vijay Zol' Suspended for One Game
The India U-19 skipper, Vijay Zol has been slapped with a ban for one match while off-spinner Aamir Gani was let off with a reprimand. Both players were found guilty of breaching the ICC code of Conduct during the U-19 World Cup quarter-final against England.
During the 30th over of England's run chase, Zol had caught England's Ben Duckett and later gave him a send-off which resulted in the ban. Article 2.2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel relates to "using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a seriously insulting nature" and Zol had been found to be in breach of this.
Gani was found to have breached article 2.1.4 of the Code which relates to "using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match". He had dished out a similar send off to England batsman Ed Barnard after dismissing him.
Graeme La Brooy, the match refree, was forced to take action after the charges laid out by the two on-field umpires, Ranmore Martinesz and Chris Gaffaney, as well as third umpire Simon Fry.
The incidents had brought out widespread criticism from those who saw it on television.
Both players pleaded guilty to the charges laid and Zol will now miss the playoff match against Sri Lanka.
