DECISION REVIEW SYSTEM (DRS)

April 4, 2021

The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) cricket committee has made changes to the way lbws will be decided under the Decision Review System (DRS).

About:

  • The “wicket zone”, the area of the stumps a ball must hit for an on-field not-out decision to be overturned, which previously ended below the bails, will now extend all the way up to the top.

  • The committee also decided to retain the umpire’s call, an element that allows the on-field decision to stand when there is no conclusive evidence to overturn it.

  • A player can also ask the umpire whether an attempt was made to play the ball before deciding to review an lbw call.
