The Board of Control for Cricket in India will deploy the Decision Review System on a trial basis in the forthcoming series between India and England starting from the 9th of Nov 2016 to evaluate the improvements made to the system, over a period of time, the board confirmed in a press release on Friday.

Lauding Shashank Manohar for his stand against conflict of interest, International Cricket Council CEO Dave Richardson today said the ICC Chairman, who also heads the BCCI, is a principled man and is trying to reform the governance structure in both the bodies. The BCCI, under Manohar's Presidency, has been forced to undertake structural reforms after the Supreme Court-appointed Justice (retd) R M Lodha committee suggested wholesale changes in its administration. "Any improvements on the governance of any country, as far as the ICC is concerned at this stage, is fair enough. "I know that our new chairman Mr. Manohar is a very principled man and seems to be interested or trying to at least adhere to the principles of no conflict of interest when it comes to governance of the game," Richardson said at a promotional event in Chennai. "I think he is quite keen that the ICC should also look at those aspects of governance.
Former Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has entered into the Decision Review System debate, saying that he'd be happy with the controversial review system to be scrapped altogether. Johnson, who retired last year with 590 wickets in international cricket, echoed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) opinion on the issue, saying decisions made by on-field umpires should stand until the technology improves and becomes accurate. "In my mind, we need to decide if we want to use technology properly or not use it at all," he wrote in a column for News Corp. "To be honest, I'd be happy if they left everything to the on-field umpires. "I'm happy to have no DRS - cricket worked pretty well without it for over 100 years. I tend to agree with India's perspective on the DRS debate - it's either got to be spot on, or not used at all. "If we can make sure that technology is used to get the right decision every time, then that's great. But until then, I'm not so sure." India has mainly opposed the use of DRS system in international cricket and the BCCI has shown no signs of changing their stance in recent years.
