Launches brand-new mobile site with a range of features to delight cricket lovers!
ESPNcricinfo, the world’s leading cricket website, today announced the launch of the new version of its mobile website that includes a whole range of features to delight cricket lovers. The new ESPNCricinfo mobile site provides the most comprehensive coverage of international cricket in the mobile space. With an advanced look, tons of newly added features and improved navigation, the site delivers an unmatched user experience.
Talking about the new mobile site, Anil Nair, Director Mobile, ESPN EMEA said, “Our aim has been to create a seamless user experience between the website and the mobile version, so that it feels familiar and friendly. We have a host of new features on our new site including personalised country pages that allow fans direct access to the teams they support; an enhanced live game experience and a unique player search module.
One of the key components of the new mobile site is the integrated live game experience that lets users follow ESPNcricinfo’s trademark ball-by-ball commentary, check the complete scorecard and read match bulletins all on the same page. The commentary can be filtered by events like Wickets, Fours and Sixes that lets users revisit key moments in the match. With the auto-refresh feature, the Live Scorecard presents the most convenient way to follow the game on the go.
The site can be accessed from the mobile at: m.cricinfo.com
Other highlights of ESPNcricinfo’s new mobile website include,
- Records: The mobile site now offers comprehensive listing of records across Tests, ODIs and T20s. With over 20 record classifications available for each format of the game, users can quickly refer to record holders while on the move. In addition, the records are classified by country in the respective team pages.
- Opinions: Users can now read the latest Opinion features by ESPNcricinfo’s experts. Articles can be listed by date or users can access archives of their favourite authors.
