Hong Kong/New Delhi: The International Cricket Council's chief executives' committee has recommended a modified version of the Decision Review System (DRS), which has been accepted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
However, the use of the Hawk-Eye ball tracking technology has been kept out of the purview of mandatory use of DRS, which will now become a part of all Tests and ODIs. The use of Hot Spot (infra red cameras) and Snickometer will be compulsory.
"The Chief Executive Committee today unanimously recommended (to the ICC Executive Board) universal standards for the usage of technology in decision-making (Decision Review System) in all Test matches and One-Day Internationals subject to availability and commercial considerations. The agreed standards will include infra-red cameras and audio-tracking devices," ICC said in a statement Monday.
"The committee also agreed that further independent and expert research will be carried out into ball-tracking technology and its accuracy and reliability. The continued use of ball-tracking technology as a decision-making aid will depend on bilateral agreements between the participating Members," the statement added.
