Ever since the UDRS has received mixed signals with Sri Lankan more than willing to employ the system, adequate and efficient technology or not, while Indians are not too keen on the system. The Sri Lankans were previously unhappy as well that India did not employ the UDRS during the home Test series.

The ICC’s plan to implement the system through all Tests has once again received the set up because the host nation has failed to convince their opponents of the merits of the system. The UDRS was used as recently as the South Africa West Indies Test series.
