London: Sachin Tendulkar, denied his 100th international hundred during the Lord's Test, is involved in ambitious plans to build cricket simulator theme parks in all major cities in India.
The prototype of the attraction that will give cricket fans the virtual reality opportunity to bowl at Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag is being assembled using Hawk-Eye ball-tracking technology in an industrial unit near Winchester.
The emergence of Tendulkar's strong links with the project backed by venture capitalist funding comes just after the Little Master is said to have softened his stance about the use of Hawk-Eye to judge lbw decisions in Test matches.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, where Tendulkar's views hold huge sway, have refused the use of the Hawk-Eye element of the decision-review system during the England series.
But Hawk-Eye inventor Paul Hawkins, who met Tendulkar before the Lord's Test, claims to have ended the Indian legend's doubts about the system after explaining how it was operated automatically rather than manually.
Hawkins said: "Once we had set the record straight he left saying he would tell the BCCI and recommend Hawk-Eye was used. I don't think it will take long for the BCCI to act on advice from Tendulkar."
