STUMPS:-
In cricket, the stumps are the three vertical posts that support the bails and form the wicket. The stumps are three vertical posts which support two bails.The stumps and bails are usually made of wood, most commonly ash,and together form a wicket at each end of the pitch.
Stumping or being stumped is a method of dismissing a batsman.The umpire calling stumps means the play is over for the day.The overall width of each wicket is 22.9 cm. Each stump is 71.1 cm tall with maximum and minimum diameters of 3.81 cm and 3.49 cm. They have a spike at one end for inserting into the ground, and the other end has a U-shaped 'through groove' to provide a resting place for the bails.

Each stump is referred to by a specific name:
OFF STUMP is the stump on the off side of the wicket (the same side as the batsman's bat).
MIDDLE STUMP is the center stump, the middle of the three stumps.
LEG STUMP is the stump on the on side of the wicket (the same side as the batsman's legs).

LED STUMPS AND BAILS WORK:-

With wooden bails, it is difficult for the umpire to tell when the bail is 'completely dislodged’. A bail is only 'completely dislodged’ from a wicket when both of the spigots have separated from their stump grooves. So, here LED stumps came into picture.
Low voltage batteries are incorporated in each of the bails and stumps. A microprocessor in each bail detects when both spigots are dislodged from the stump grooves.

The wickets comes fitted with LED. The bails also have an in-built sensor than can determine if a wicket is broken, in just 1/1000th of a second.They are made of composite plastic and the LEDs glimmer at the slightest impact with the ball. 
The stumps and bails illuminate when dislodged. When the wicket is broken, the bails flash bright red LED light. Even if a wicket keeper makes a stumping, the lights flash. It helps the umpires to come up with correct decisions especially during close stumping and run-outs.
THEY ARE COSTLY
A complete set required for a match costs $40,000, approximately Rs 25 lakhs.
WHO INTRODUCED THIS LED STUMPS SYSTEM
This LED stumps were introduced by Bronte EcKermann, an Australian mechanical industrial designer, and created by South Australian manufacturer Zing International. It is called as Zing Wicket System. The International Cricket Council used it for the first time during the semi-finals and final of the recent Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the UAE.

You all need to Watch this Youtube video where i had explained that why Wooden Stumps are replaced by LED stumps and who & when they are introduced in cricket. This is my Youtube channel's video which i had made in the beginning of my youtube career. So, please support my channel as much as possible.
