The controversial Umpire Decision Review System will not be in place in the forthcoming series between India and the West Indies after the BCCI has convinced its Caribbean counterparts against the use of technology during the entire tour. A WICB spokesperson confirmed that UDRS will not be used in the one-off Twenty20 match,five ODIs or for that matter in the three upcoming Test matches.

Incidentally,UDRS was used when Pakistan toured the Caribbean recently. India has been a staunch critic of UDRS ever since Sachin Tendulkar went public with his disapproval of the system in Sri Lanka a couple of years ago. Just before the World Cup,Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni too gave his thumbs down to the system.

‘Explain Gayle’s omission’

West Indies Players’ Association has thrown its weight behind Chris Gayle in his stand-off with the cricket board and questioned the omission of the dashing opener from the T20 and the first two ODIs. WICB had said that Gayle will have to clear the air regarding an interview in which he had lashed out at the board for not bothering about his injury after the World Cup.

WIPA said that Gayle had acted in his private capacity since he had no retainer contract with the board. “While this information is conveyed via selectors’ notes,the proposed meeting is one of very broad composition encompassing not only the WICB selectors but WICB management and West Indies team management.”
