Is it The Perfect Time to Use Technology in Cricket?

CC, governing body of the International cricket, says YES as the answer of this question. A referral system was recommended for the “England - South Africa series”, but the policy was not used by the hosts and this is why, forthcoming match the hosts declined to use the policy and so the forthcoming contest between India and Sri Lanka will be the very first series where the referrals are tested.

Every single team will be allowed up to 3 failed challenges per innings, with just the batsmen on the decision’s receiving end and the captain of fielding gain ability to make the game challenge. Therefore, there isn’t any limitation on the successful challenges and this is why, a flurry of the upturned decisions could be really embarrassing to the umpires standing on-field.

They should, however, never feel underestimated by the technology. It’s an additional resource and will support their fine judgment as much as it focuses the faults which are forgivable in pressurized environment of the Test cricket. On-field umpires use the technology in order to get assistance of line calls right in all three of grand tournaments and every challenges is settled quickly. The referral system has formerly been used on the trial basis, but was cast off after a year in the English domestic one day cricket.

There will never be absolutely 100 percent accuracy as TV cameras are not always able to detect the thin edges, for instance, this is why the batsman still take advantage of the doubt to a few extent. The final decision is still taken by the on-field umpires. In case the trial succeeds, we will never have to see the incorrect decision during Test cricket matches.
