TV umpire communications to be aired
SYDNEY, Australia (AFP) — Communications between on-field officials and TV umpires at the World Cup will be aired on television from this week’s quarter-finals, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday.
The decision covers umpire referrals, consultations and DRS player reviews, and follows a trial during the One-Day Series between Australia and South Africa in November last year.
“The International Cricket Council confirmed that TV umpire communications during decision-making will be available to the host broadcaster to put to air for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the World Cup which will be played between 18 and 29 March,” said an ICC statement.
