Devon Cricket and NV Play announce Three Year Live Streaming and Technology Partnership
Devon Cricket and NV Play are delighted to announce they have entered into a new three year partnership. This partnership will see NV Play become Devon Cricket’s official Technology Partner and Preferred Live Streaming Provider.
Devon have a rich history, winning the MCCA Knockout Trophy five times since its inception in 1983, securing the top spot in 1992, 1994, 1998, 2008 and 2014. Running a comprehensive pathway programme consisting of 360+ girls and boys from Under 10 through to Under 18, Devon are looking to extend their success with NV Play's professional Video Analysis tools. This partnership will also benefit the 400+ teams who compete in the Devon Adult and Youth Leagues,
NV Play’s award-winning cricket technology has been helping deliver the game at the highest levels for over 15 years. We are proud to deliver ECB’s Play-Cricket Scorer Pro (PCS Pro) platform that helps drive high-end recreational and professional cricket across England and Wales, and is used by thousands of clubs & teams to capture tens of thousands of matches across the globe.
This exciting new partnership between NV Play and Devon Cricket leverages this experience, and will initially focus on delivering Devon’s new Live Streaming and Video Highlights offerings. It will also include the introduction of a dedicated match centre on the Devon Cricket website to help fans stay connected to Devon teams throughout the season.
As part of the partnership, NV Play will be Devon Cricket’s Preferred Live Streaming Provider. This means Devon will be investing in fully maximising use of NV Play’s best-in-class video capture tools, whilst supporting Clubs across the County to embrace Live Streaming using PCS Pro and NV Play.
“We are delighted to formalise our partnership with Devon Cricket, and look forward to providing extended coverage of County Age Groups and Women’s matches, driving fan engagement through our industry-leading Live Streaming and Video Highlights solutions, available directly within PCS Pro.
We’re equally excited to be able to leverage the power of the PCS Pro platform to enable all pathway & age group teams to capture, share and analyse performance data as they continue to grow their game.”
