ICC to continue referral system
The ICC decided to continue the trial of umpire referral system, which took place in the recent Sri Lanka-India Test series, to some upcoming series before its actual implementation, it was decided in a meeting.
The system allows players to seek reviews, via the television official, of decisions by the on-field umpires on whether or not a batsman has been dismissed. Each team can make three unsuccessful requests per innings.
A final report on the Umpire Referral System will be submitted by ICC umpires' and referees' manager Vince van der Bijl and Doug Cowie after the trials to ICC Cricket Committee in May next year and it will then be considered by the CEC in June.
