India will accept the Decision Review System only when it becomes “foolproof,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s interim president said in an interview .
India was part of the first-ever test series featuring the DRS in Sri Lanka five years ago but has opposed the system of referrals to the television umpire, maintaining that it’s not convinced about its accuracy. “We will accept DRS when technology is foolproof,” Jagmohan Dalmiya told a newspaper. “There’s nothing in between.”
Dalmiya said he was not sure when the system would become perfect. “Let them come up with a system which is 100 per cent correct. They couldn’t fix the Duckworth-Lewis problem in 15 years, what guarantee do we have about an error-free DRS? The D/L method is beyond most of the players and administrators, let alone the common fans,” he said about the prevalent system of revising targets in case of rain interruptions during limited-overs games.
