BCCI agrees to trial DRS

India ended its long-standing opposition Friday to cricket's Decision Review System (DRS), announcing it would be included on a trial basis in next month's Test series against England.

Indian cricket board president Anurag Thakur said that its major concerns had been addressed by upgrades to the system.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will deploy the DRS "in toto in the series between India and England... on a trial basis to evaluate the improvements made to the system," Thakur said in a statement.

"We recognise the enhanced role of technology in sport and BCCI will lead such initiatives in coming days, and enrich the viewer experience."

The Test series begins on November 9.
