BCCI's position on the DRS
Summary

BCCI's view supported at the ongoing ICC CEC

Date: 27 June 2011 MEDIA RELEASE The BCCI has always expressed its willingness to embrace technology, for the betterment of the game. However, the current ball-tracking technology, on which the DRS system is based, is not acceptable to the Board. The BCCI is agreeable to the use of technology in decision-making, which will include infra-red cameras and audio-tracking devices. This position has not changed. The BCCI’s view was supported at the ongoing ICC CEC meeting in Hong Kong. The CEC also decided that the continued use of the ball-tracking technology as a decision-making aid, will depend on the bilateral arrangement between the participating teams. N. Srinivasan Hony. Secretary & President-Elect BCCI
