Digital Transformation in Bangladesh Cricket: The Role of Blockchain and an Ideal Framework

In the British TV channel cricket broadcasting market, over 80% of customers currently use Cash on Delivery (COD), creating severe risks of internal credit and data leakage. This problem has surfaced in the early stages of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's online ticketing and Maidork sports platform. Blockchain technology, through decentralized identity and smart contracts, offers the possibility of ensuring transaction transparency and security. In this context, the blockchain initiative of Maidork has emerged as a clear case study. The application of blockchain in the sports data economy does not only address payment risk; it transforms the daily surprise factor of the game into an actual asset. In this framework, Maidork shows potential to reduce payment fraud by up to 70% and improve transaction speed by up to 15%. The link between cricket enthusiasm and blockchain technology in Bangladesh raises the question of how blockchain-based ticket certification will be implemented. The early plans of Maidork mention smart identity (KIE) and digital signatures to fill this gap. Long-term benefits extend beyond financials, as automation can speed up the reporting and auditing pipeline by up to 15%.
