T20 World Cup 2021: Decision Review System to be introduced for the upcoming event

Xtra Time Web Desk: The Decision Review System (DRS) will be introduced for the first time in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup starting from October 17 in Oman and UAE. The decision was taken, after the ICC approved its usage in the tournament.

According to an ESPNcricinfo report, each team will get a maximum of two reviews per innings. The International Cricket Council had confirmed in June last year an additional unsuccessful DRS review for each team in each innings of a match across all formats, “keeping in mind that there may be less experienced umpires on duty at times” owing to COVID-19-related reasons.

So, the number of unsuccessful appeals per innings for each team has increased to two in the white-ball formats and three in Test matches.

DRS was not part of the earlier men”s T20 World Cups as the review system was not applicable in T20s in 2016 when the marquee event was last held.

DRS made its first appearance in an ICC T20I tournament in 2018 at the women”s T20 World Cup in the Caribbean.

The system was again used at the 2020 women”s T20 World Cup in Australia. 

The men”s T20 World Cup will be held from October 17 to November14.
