BCCI turns down the use of UDRS in England-India series
The richest and strongest Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has once again defied the use of Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) during the upcoming series between England and India at the former’s soil. The board has served a notification to
the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 Cricket Board (ECB), expressing its disagreement with application of the technology.
As per the International Cricket Council (ICC) rule, the UDRS cannot be employed in any game unless both the playing teams give their consent about it.
The Indians have been staunch and active opponents of of the technology since its inception in 2009 as they consider it to be flawed.
The first successful and full-fledged use of the review system was witnessed in ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, held in the subcontinent, but India criticised it badly.
Despite the frequent claims by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 officials that the technology has increased the ratio of right decision making to a great extent, India is not ready to accept it.
The major opponent of the system has been the senior Indian players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739.
Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is set to visit England in the month of July to play a series of 4 Tests, 1 T20 and 5 ODIs.
The English, who are ardent supporters of UDRS and use it in every series, are much disturbed by India’s divergence.
The Indian board also did not allow the technology during the ongoing series between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. After 1 T20 and 2 ODIs have been played, the Caribbean claim that the absence of review process is benefiting the Men in Blue to a great extent.
Team Indian has won all three matches against the Windies.
Some analysts argue that the BCCI is likely to pick up a dispute with the ICC that is set to make the UDRs mandatory in all three formats of the game.
The UDRS was first used on 24 November, 2009 in a Test game between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 at the University of Oval.
However, the system has been a disputed matter since its origin. It has earned more critics than proponents.
