Cricket Stumps Height & Price: In the game of cricket, along with bat and ball, stumps and bails are also most important, because without stumps and bails this game is incomplete. In this game played on a 22-yard strip, the stumps and bails were earlier made of wood, but in the modern era, LED stumps and bails have replaced them. At present, LED lights are installed in the stumps and bails, which are quite bright. When the ball hits these stumps and bails, the lights start lighting up, which makes it easier for the umpire to tell whether the bails have fallen from the air or due to a collision with the ball. These LED stumps and bells are manufactured by many companies like Jing International, which are equipped with very special technology. The touch-sensitive sensors installed in them activate the lights as soon as the ball hits, which proves helpful for the umpire in giving the decision of out or not-out.
