India to use DRS for England Tests

[amarnathkvk]

India have agreed to use DRS for the Test series against England on a "trial basis" "to evaluate the improvements made" in the system. India had played in the first series with umpire reviews, against Sri Lanka in 2008, but this will be their first bilateral series since then with all the components of the DRS - including ball-tracking technology - in place.

One of India's biggest concerns, the predicted path of the ball, will be addressed by the use of ultra-motion cameras. The manual intervention in determining the point of impact will be minimised by the introduction of Ultra Edge, which according to a BCCI release has been approved by Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT]. It will also eliminate the possibility of another touch after the first impact affecting the predicted path or point of impact.

Meanwhile, India has agreed for use of DRS system on a trial basis for the Tests against England. India had last used the system in the 2008 series in Sri Lanka when, incidentally, current coach Anil Kumble was the captain. They had a bad experience back then, and have decided against using the review system since even as other teams have been consistently using it.
"We are happy to note that Hawk-Eye has institutionalised all the recommendations made by BCCI, and we confirm that this improved version of DRS will be used on a trial basis during the forthcoming series against England. Based on the performance of the system and the feedback that we will receive, further continuation in forthcoming series will be decided," BCCI President Anurag Thakur informed through a release.
