DRS on for Zim series
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has finally decided to introduce Decision Review System (DRS) in the coming three-match Test series against Zimbabwe as a 'test case'.
According to the BCB, reason behind the decision was to make sure that they took all the advantages in a series, which is very vital for the home team as they are looking forward to gaining the much-needed ranking points to avoid staying at the bottom.
"We are introducing the DRS for the first time in a home series as we thought that it's the best opportunity for us to examine whether it is good or bad for us. It is a case test. Whether we will continue with it or not will depend on the success of this series," informed BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury yesterday.
"We have decided to take this advantage of technology as we think this is a very important series for us as we want to gain on the rankings. So, we are not thinking too much on the financial aspect, rather we are doing it for cricketing reasons," he added.
It was also learnt that head coach Chandika Hathurusingha influenced the board to take the decision, but DRS will not be in use in the five-match ODI series.
