Decision Review System (DRS) - Playing Conditions
1 gENEral
1.1 the DRS includes:
• The process for the referral by the on-field umpires of a decision to the
third umpire and/or the consultation process (between the on-field
umpire(s) and the third umpire) initiated by the on-field umpire(s) as
set out in paragraph 2 below and which have been collectively termed
in these playing conditions as an “Umpire Review”; and
• The process initiated by the players for the review of an on-field umpire’s
decision (by means of a consultation between the on-field umpire(s) and
the third umpire) as set out in paragraph 3 below and which has been
termed in these playing conditions as the “Player Review”.
1.2 the Home Board will be required to ensure that the television technology
specifications set out in Appendix 8 are provided.
1.3 In particular, the Home Board is to ensure that a separate room is
provided for the third umpire and that he has access to the television
equipment and technology as specified in Appendix 8 so as to be in the
best position to facilitate the referral and/or consultation processes
referred to in paragraphs 2 (Umpire Review) and 3 (Player Review) below.
1.4 the icc shall appoint an independent technology expert (icc Technical
Official) to be present at every series to assist the third umpire and to
protect the integrity of the DRS process.
2 umpire rEview
In the circumstances detailed in paragraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 below, the
on-field umpire has the discretion to refer the decision to the third umpire
or, in the case of 2.2.(a), 2.4 and 2.5, to consult with the third umpire before
making the decision and should take a common sense approach.
Save for requesting the umpire to review his decision under paragraph 3
(Player Review) below, players may not appeal to the umpire to use the Umpire
Review - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the player could
be liable for discipline under the icc Code of Conduct.
The third umpire shall call for as many replays from any camera angle as is
necessary to reach a decision. As a guide, a decision should be made within 30
seconds whenever possible, but the third umpire shall have the discretion to
take more time.
2.1 Run Out, Stumping and Hit Wicket Decisions
a) the on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out,
stumping or hit wicket to the third umpire.
b) an on-field umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire
shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen
with his hands.
c) in the case of a referral of a hit wicket or stumping decision, the third
umpire shall first check the fairness of the delivery (fair delivery – the
feet or full toss above waist height). If the delivery was not a fair
delivery he shall indicate that the batsman is not out and advise the
on-field umpire to signal no ball. See also paragraph 3.10 below.
