MUMBAI: With the Cricket World Cup less than a month away, cricket portal ESPNcricinfo has launched a new video series called ‘Contenders’.

The series will have former skippers Rahul Dravid and Greame Smith sharing their observations on strength and weaknesses of the teams participating in ICC World Cup 2015. They will also critically analyse the possibilities of each team and determine the key factors in all the teams. Besides analysis on capabilities, the duo will also scrutinize the statistics and predict their progress in the tournament. 

The 10 episode series starting 20 January, 2015 will be hosted by Gaurav Kalra and is sponsored by Renault.

ESPNcricinfo editor Sambit Bal said, “At ESPNcricinfo, it has been our constant endeavour to produce high-quality original video programming, and Contenders is yet another step in that direction. It brings together two iconic cricketers who have led their teams at the World Cup to examine the prospects of the 14 teams and their leading players in the cricket’s biggest event.”
