Mumbai: India ended its long-standing opposition Friday to Decision Review System (DRS), announcing it would be included on a trial basis in Test series against England.
Although India were involved in the initial trial of a review system, during a series with Sri Lanka eight years ago, the BCCI has since proven reluctant to embrace the same technology that has been widely used by other countries.
Doubts over the reliability of DRS have regularly been expressed by the BCCI, but Indian cricket's governing body is satisfied such concerns have now been addressed by improvements to the system.
As a result, the players of India and England will now be able to review decisions during the five-Test series that begins in Rajkot on November 9.
The DRS uses ball-tracking, high-audio technology known as snicko and 'hotspot' thermal to verify umpires' decisions.
It was made optional, rather than compulsory, at India's insistence but most other cricketing nations including England and Australia have supported the system.
The first Test between India and England will be played in Rajkot from November 9-13.
