#6 Retractable Roof

How many games had to be abandoned or stopped during play due to rain or bad Light? It is very frustrating for the Players and the Fans. To avoid this, the ground can be equipped with a retractable roof, so that during adverse weather conditions, the game can still continue without any disturbances. We have already seen these retractable roofs in certain matches in the past and this will be an integral part of cricket in the future.

#7 Virtual Reality Stadium

Cameras, Cameras, Cameras! Cameras are everywhere these days and available at any required shape and size. The cameras can be set up on bats, balls, caps & hats, stumps, stands, dugouts and where not! This can be integrated with VR, which will enable the viewers can get a 360-degree virtual reality experience of the Match from the desired position on the ground. You could be Virat Kohli, chasing down a mammoth total successfully, or a fielder taking a stunning catch at the boundary ropes. You could watch the match from any view.

#8 Health Monitors

Wearable Health Monitors in the form of wristbands could be worn by the players, which would tell the team physiotherapists the exact body condition and would tell the stress on each part of the body. If there is an excess load which can cause an injury, proper rest and workload management should be advised so that the players are always fit. This measure will help reduce the frequency of injuries by a significant rate.

#9 Stadium Viewing Experience

The stadium viewing experience would be spectacular. There could possibly be screen attached to every seat that would show the Match on the screen, so that the spectators won't miss a thing! The screens could also be equipped with the option of ordering food and beverages, and robots might deliver the food to the respective seat numbers.

#10 Bat Sensors

There are Sensors attached to the bat that can determine the bat flow, bat speed, middling accuracy, and speed off the bat. Imagine having all this data, which 10 years back, was not even dreamt of!

These metrics can help the batsmen improve their game by identifying weak spots in their games, as well as help the bowlers form strategies against specific batsmen respective to their bat-swing and bats-peed on particular balls bowled by the bowlers. The battle between the ball and the bat would be challenging.
