MUMBAI: STAR India, the official broadcasters of the Unimoni Asia Cup 2018 announced on Friday that it will be bringing back the ‘Select Dugout’ on its channel, Star Sports Select HD and on Hotstar as a separate language option.
Introduced during the IPL 2018, Select Dugout was a hit amongst cricket pundits, players and fans alike as it involved innovative audio and visual analysis focused on the key aspects of the matches throughout the tournament. It is likely to change the way commentary is done in ODI cricket as well with the tournament beginning tomorrow.
Two former international captains, Stephen Fleming of New Zealand and Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka will be making their Select Dugout commentary debuts.
“I had the opportunity to experience the commentary on Select Dugout during the VIVO IPL 2018 and I was truly amazed by the way it was reimagined to keep the fans ahead of the game. Cricket is evolving and the Select Dugout is at the forefront of changing the way commentary is consumed.
I am excited to make my debut on the Select Dugout panel and I am looking forward to team up with some of the legends of the game such as Stephen Fleming, Anil Kumble, Dean Jones, Scott Styris, Zaheer Khan and others to bring the best of action and neighborhood banter.” Jayawardene said.
Fans will be able to enjoy the Select Dugout with experts like Dean Jones, Brett Lee, Scott Styris, Mike Hesson, Zaheer Khan, Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman and Graeme Smith who were involved in the IPL as well.
In addition to the Select Dugout, World Feed and Hindi Feed will keep fans actively engaged throughout the Asia Cup 2018 as fans get the option to choose how they want to enjoy their cricket.
