Umpire decision review system in Indo-Lanka Test series
New Delhi, Jun 16 (PTI) An umpire decision review system
will be trialled during India's three-Test series against Sri
Lanka, which would entitle a player to request the on-field
match officials to reconsider their decision.
Board for Cricket Control of India (B.C.C.I.) secretary
Niranjan Shah said the cricket board has agreed to the trial
of the system in the Test series starting July 23.
Under the proposal, a player may request the review of
any decision taken by the on-field umpires concerning every
dismissal with the exception of 'Timed Out'.
The review-seeking player would have to make a 'T' sign
with both forearms at head height.
For reviews concerning potential dismissals, he should
then indicate 'Out' by raising his finger above his head or
indicate 'Not Out' by crossing his hands in a horizontal
position side to side in front and above his waist three
times.
"Where the decision is a reversal of the on-field
umpire's previous call, he should make the 'revoke last
signal' indication immediately prior to the above," the
B.C.C.I. said in a statement.
Each team will be allowed three unsuccessful review
requests per innings. If a review results in the umpire
reversing his original decision, then the request has been
successful and does not count towards the innings limit.
If the umpire's decision is unchanged, the review is
unsuccessful. After three unsuccessful requests by one team,
no further review requests will be allowed by that team during
the current innings.
If following review, an umpire upholds the decision of
'Out' but for a different mode of dismissal from that for
which the original decision was given, than the request will
still be regarded as unsuccessful.
It also allows the TV umpire use of slow motion, super
slow motion and ultra motion replays from all available
cameras, sound from the stump microphones with the replays at
normal speed and slow motion and Hawkeye for ball tracking
purposes only, but not for predicting the potential future
trajectory of the ball.
