Decision review system back in play for India series

The development comes after the ICC chief executives' committee unanimously recommended "universal standards" over what technology to use.

Elsewhere, the committee supported plans to abolish runners in international cricket.

And two new balls per innings - one from each end - would be used in one-day internationals from 1 October.

On 10 June, India had said it would veto any plans to use the DRS in the four-match Test series starting at Lord's on 21 July.

But now Narayanaswami Srinivasan, the chief executive and president-elect of the Board of Control for Cricket in India [BCCI], has voted in favour of the new standards for its use, there is every chance DRS will be incorporated in the series.

According to a statement from the ICC, those standards include the use of infra-red cameras and audio-tracking devices.

The chief executives' committee also agreed that "further independent and expert research will be carried out into ball-tracking technology and its accuracy and reliability."
