The International Cricket Council has ended the mandatory use of the Decision Review System and instead will leave it up to participating nations to decide if they wish to use the technology.
The decision was announced Tuesday following a meeting of the ICC’s Executive Board.
“Although the DRS improves correct umpire decisions by around five percent and corrects any blatant errors, there are some who are not convinced by its reliability,” ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been a strong critic of the system—especially the use of Hotspot—but the ICC said DRS will still be used in all its global events.
