Why Hot Spot Technology Was Removed from Cricket

Why Hot Spot Technology Was Removed from Cricket Hot Spot was once considered one of the most accurate technologies in cricket. It could detect the tiniest contact between bat and ball using heat signatures — yet today, it is no longer used. Why? The surprising truth is that Hot Spot technology didn’t originate in cricket at all. It was first developed by a French scientist for military purposes, to detect heat generated by impacts on tanks and armored vehicles. Later, this same concept was adapted for cricket to detect edges using infrared cameras. In this video, we explain: ???? What Hot Spot technology actually is ????
