Cricket World has revolted from start ICC T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014 in Bangladesh. And you are indeed watching T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014? You may have noticed this year stumps are flashing lights in World Cup matches!

Stumps are not like before. The lights flash as the bail dislodges from stumps! This year's World Cup, this is a new technology 'LED Stumps'. This is called 'Zings Stumps'.

If any little touch begins to boil it sends a wireless wave and light flashes. It takes less than a fifth of a second. The stumps have been used to make the composite plastic and it has a sensor that is particularly associated with Microprocessor.

Before, the winning team's players would have to take wickets as souvenir or memorabilia. But this world cup they could not take any bail or wicket. Stumps are so expensive! The total price of 40 dollars for six stumps used in each match! An  Australian company has made these stumps.

The inventor Brandi Ackerman has informed, For each match, we're using patented technology which is worth 40 thousand dollars. Each bail price equal to the price of an iPhone.  At the end of the game, so now we could not able to give them any bail or wicket. 

This is not the first time the use of Zing system's stumps. Before this world cup it has been used in Australian home T-20 league, New Zealand and West Indias also. Though this system has been used any of the events organized by the ICC in Bangladesh for the first time.

Ackerman thinks, The price will be reduced if such stumps will be popular. If within the next few years the price will arrive at fingertips then players would take these stumps or bail as  souvenir or memorabilia.
