Umpire review system to be trialled in Sri Lanka-India Tests
The proposed umpire review system will be trialled during India's three-Test series against Sri Lanka, Niranjan Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, has announced
- Umpires should still be permitted to refer line decisions or boundaries to the third umpire as normal without a player requesting him to refer that decision"
- The players should be permitted to ask the on-field umpire to review any aspect of any other decision in consultation with the third umpire
- The process should take the form and order of: on-field umpire gives his decision; affected batsman or fielding side's captain asks the umpire to review that decision; the on-field umpire(s) and third umpire consult; the on-field umpire gives his final decision
- The committee recommended that Hawk-Eye technology could be used by the third umpire but only for the purposes of determining the actual path of the ball up until the point that it struck the batsman and not the predictor function of the technology
- Slow motion replays from all available cameras
- Super slow motion replays from the cameras positioned at either end of the ground
- Ultra motion camera replays from the cameras positioned at either end of the ground
- Sound from the stump microphones with the replays at normal speed and slow motion
- Hawk-Eye for ball tracking purposes only (not for predicting the potential future trajectory of the ball)
