Recent advancements in activity recognition from sports videos have attracted wide scientific interest of the Computer Vision community. However, the activity recognition problem from cricket video sequences is largely under-represented in the literature. This paper aims to devise a convolutional neural network (CNN) based model for sports activity recognition. The model is trained on the pre-trained VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and Inception V3 Models and tested on the clustered cricket videos frames extracted from the data set especially prepared for this research. The clustering of the frames is done by using K-Mean clustering algorithm. K-Fold cross validation is done which gave an accuracy of 99% on clustered data and 91% on un-clustered data. The accuracy and time complexity of the proposed method is better as compared to the state of the art methods used for activity recognition from videos.
