2026 FIFA World Cup director to oversee India vs Afghanistan T20I series

The India vs Afghanistan T20I series will feature a unique broadcast led by Jamie Oakford, the director of every FIFA World Cup final since 2002. This series, set to take place in New Delhi, will utilize technology and techniques from the FIFA World Cup to enhance the viewing experience. New features include ultra-slow-motion cameras, AI-stabilized POV shots, and volumetric free-viewpoint replay technology. This initiative marks the first time a bilateral cricket series will be produced to full FIFA World Cup broadcasting standards, aiming to elevate the quality of cricket broadcasts in India. As the series approaches, the BCCI's efforts to innovate cricket coverage will be closely observed for their effectiveness.
