ArXi:2510.18405v2 Announce Type: replace Cricket generates a rich stream of visual and contextual information, yet much of its tactical analysis still depends on slow and subjective manual review. Motivated by the need for a efficient and data-driven alternative, this paper presents an automated approach for cricket video analysis that identifies wicket-taking deliveries, detects the pitch and ball, and models ball trajectories for post-match assessment.
