The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) has agreed to deploy the Decision Review System (DRS) in the upcoming series against England. The BCCI is satisfied with the improvement made on the system, and will access it in the series.
Some of the significant changes made on the DRS:
- The introduction of ultra motion cameras will address issues with regard to calculating the predictive path which allows the ball tracking, to be more accurate.
- Manual intervention to set the impact point has been controlled by the introduction of the ‘Ultra edge’. It has been approved by MIT and will help in determining the frame of impact.
- Ultraedge also ensures that post impact balls do not affect the predicted path or impact point. Hence the accuracy has been improved.
- Earlier, there was a possibility that the operator would have missed a delivery. Hence a LBW appeal could have been missed. Now, Hawkeye has developed the technology to record and save all images. In case an operator fails to arm the tracking system, the images can be rewound and replayed.
- Basis on the recommendation from BCCI, additional cameras have been installed so that there is redundancy and also provide 100% reliable spin vision for DRS.
“We are happy to note that Hawkeye has institutionalised all the recommendations made by BCCI,” BCCI president Anurag Thakur said. “We confirm that this improved version of DRS will be used on a trial basis during the forthcoming series against England.”
