Across the UK, NV Play leads the way in scoring, live streaming and direct scoreboard integration via the ECB’s Play-Cricket Scorer Pro software (PCS Pro).

More than 300 club sides used NV Play products in 2022, with more than 2,500 individual streams broadcast using the system across last summer.
That’s a more than 80 per cent rise in user numbers on 2021, and these numbers are on track to double again as the 2023 season gets underway as the streaming revolution continues to gain steam.
With exciting new broadcast graphics set to be launched for the coming season, there could not be a better time to give NV Play streaming technology a go.
Users can hook up their own cameras to the system or buy from NV Play’s own curated range, which is tailored for every budget. The NV Play selection includes five scalable kits, which are custom-built for the cricket environment: waterproofed and stabilised to sustain your live stream through all conditions.

Broadcast-quality live streaming and ball-by-ball video clips are automated simply by scoring the match with a connected camera. This enables the game to be viewed by parents and supporters in their living rooms, as well as enhancing team and player feedback via performance analysis tools.
The PCS Pro platform is widely used in the professional game by all 18 counties, as well as England’s men and women.
The system also has a huge footprint in the recreational game where the scorers power the live streaming overlays, automatic in-game match cards, ball clipping, online match centres and local scoreboards.
Knowle & Dorridge Cricket Club in Solihull have seen the social and commercial benefit of live streaming.
“The introduction of NV Play live streaming for our home matches has been a huge benefit to us as a cricket club,” a club spokesperson said.
“We have acquired new sponsors, generated greater revenues from current sponsors and grown our online presence as a further result of the exposure our stream has created.
“We are heavily reliant on sponsorship and the broadcast-style features of NV Play have opened new doors for us.”
Ealing Cricket Club in west London have also implemented the technology in recent years.
“The equipment is fantastic and easy to use, it all links up with Play Cricket and our scorer already uses PCS Pro to score,” a club spokesperson said.
“This year we will be showing the stream on the TV in the pavilion and then putting together a highlights reel which is easy to do via the highlights package manager.
“Having a system that works both online and offline is a great solution for us as a club.”
