With the onset of advanced and high-tech changes in the world of cricket and the emergence of modern-day technologies like Web3, Metaverse, Fintech and Virtual Reality, the ICC along with NIUM is aiming to facilitate a landmark change in the way fans experience cricket.
This is an opportunity for the global community of sports & technology innovators, to create new and improved fan engagement experiences for the global game of cricket and bring cricket fans closer to the game.
In this first of it's kind hackathon, teams will register, be shortlisted and finally be invited to build and present their concepts & creations to a panel of judges representing the cricket and technology industries at an exclusive event in March 2023 in Bangalore, India.

Use AR/VR technologies to create a gamified experience for cricket fans.
In this track we encourage Developers to explore the AR/VR Based technology to create a fan engagement activity or game. Ranging from skill building practice based games where fans experience the pace, swing, and spin of their favourite bowlers in virtual reality, to an innovation that educates fans about the game of Cricket, right from the - “History of Cricket”,“Rules of the Game” or even a virtual museum.

Design a loyalty experience for fans with fintech at the centre of it.
The prototype designed by the developers must incentivize fans to interact and transact with ICC content and products such as ICC TV, our NFT program - Crictos, ICC Awards and ICC events at large. This track must include a modern or traditional monetary exchange system between the ICC and its fan base.

Create a Web3-based experience for the cricket fans.
The prototype created by developers within this track should aim to strengthen the experience of a fan going to the stadium to watch a match. For example, this could allow the fan to participate in on-ground events on match day and incorporate interactive elements such as a stadium navigation guide, as a result formulating a strategy to track fan movement and behaviour in stadiums and also capturing it on social media. It should give fans an easy and friendly way to share their experience so that others can watch it live or on TV.

The developers are required to innovate a decentralised platform, that will be the ICC’s foray into the metaverse space. The final prototype should showcase ways in which fans can learn, watch and interact with the sport of cricket.
