Event: | Pakistan in New Zealand 2009/10 |
DateLine: 18th November 2009
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has confirmed that the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) will be used in the upcoming home Test series against Pakistan.
"It's exciting that the new decision review system will be up and running for this Test series," NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan said. "This will be the first series in the international calendar to use the new DRS - it's an important advance for international cricket."
Following a series of trials at domestic and international level, the ICC announced in June that the review system would be implemented from October. Cricket's governing body is understood to have communicated that it would not be responsible for the cost burden of the system, leaving boards and/or broadcasters to foot the bill.
This led to problems with broadcasters and national boards baulking at the implementation costs. As a result, the UDRS was scrapped for the forthcoming India-Sri Lanka, will not be used for the South Africa-England Test series, and might not be used in Australia during the West Indies tour either.
