This lowers engagement with fans, local communities, players, teams, umpires and sponsors	Organizing Grass-roots cricket leagues, tournaments and matches is often still done on paper, and is time-consuming, inefficient, and tiring. This laborious process makes tracking performance, managing scores, and publishing schedules difficult..
