The committee to analysis the video of the bowlers’ bowling action is using two types of software including ‘Pitch Vision Software’ and ‘Silicon Coach Software’. Along with that, they measure the degree of the bowling hand’s bent setting high definition cameras at four different angles.     
“We’ve worked with seven bowlers at morning session and will work with other two bowlers at afternoon session. Those who could not attend today’s session we’ll work with them in the next week,” said Nasir Ahmed. 
“We’ve brought Pitch Vision Software and some high definition cameras, some of which are 90-frame and 100-frame cameras alongside a manual camera what I used today’s activities,” Nasir said. 
“We captured the video of the bowler’s bowling action at four different angles- straight forward, 45 degree, back and side angles. We can use eight cameras though we’ve eleven cameras in our stocks but this time around we’ve used four high definition cameras along with two manual cameras,” he added.        
About the next procedure, MIS manager said that they sit with the panel after doing the first two things (capturing video and analysis) and take the final decision to clear or suggest for rehab.
“We then sit with our panel after doing these two things. If we see that the degree of the bowler bowling hand bent did not cross the fifteen degree then we clear him or recommend for rehabilitation. If bowler thinks to go for retest after doing rehab properly then we follow the same procedure to remodel his action,” the former wicket-keeper said.
“We send these names to Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM), umpires and match referees to strongly monitor the bowlers. We had a strong recommendation so that their action is to capture in video at every match because bowlers could bowl differently in the match situation,” he said. 
When asked. have they got any complaint in the ongoing Premier League, Nasu said, “We are yet to receive any complaint of reporting against any bowler in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League (DPL).”
