There is only one solution for the problem don't do the mistake of supporting India in ICC or in any forum cause when it gets power the narrow mindedness will be there for you & I bet had any other country at the chairman seat of ICC this Indian controversy would not been there

"India, which accounts for the lion’s share of global cricket revenues, has been suspicious of DRS since making a number of unsuccessful referrals during the 2008 Test series with Sri Lanka, when the technology was on trial."

That say it all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

India made numerous unsuccessful referrals therefore DRS has been banned.

WHAT A LOGIC!!!!!!!!!

The question is not whether DRS is accurate or not. There is no machine technology that is 100% accurate, however employing most technologies improves human interaction. So the question everyone should be asking from BCCI is "does usig DRS actually imroves the chances of better decsion or not?"

With DRS, matches will continue to have controversial decisions, but the frequency of such decisions is likely to go lower and lower.

May be DRS system is not foolproof, I remember the event when sachin was given out against Pakistan in 2011 World cup and was given not out by DRS system, there were lots of criticism occurred. but there should be DRS system,that kind of incident occurs once in a blue moon.

Sir, let all other ICC members vote in favor of DRS system in all tests and one dayers. After all, India has one vote and the motion can be carried out by majority vote. It is so easy, why debate and then postpone the decision.

Every match in the world does not involve India! Why can't the 2 playing teams decide on this. Say if there is a match between Pakistan and Srilanka – go for DRS all the way. Even if India is against it, let the remaining teams of the world adopt this and see how it goes – at least 80% of the matches will then have DRS. India is against DRS but its no wat stopping the rest of the world from using DRS.

The current ICC rules allow the participating countries to implement DRS in the series. So Pakistan and Sri Lanka could have decided to have DRS in place for the ongoing series.
The issue is less about BCCI opposition and lack of faith in DRS, and more about who will bear the cost of technology. In this case, Sri Lankan board did not want to bear the cost of DRS, and hence did not opt for it.

Also, we must keep in mind that India like others is only a member nation of ICC. BCCI has no special rights and has only one vote, its financial clout not withstanding. The other member nations can vote on their conscience.
The responsibility of ICC's decisions lies with all the members and not just one.

Take a chill pill dude ! No one said this. The issue is, why india does not support a system which reduces (if does not eliminate) chances of biased and poor umpiring decisions.
