Tremlett slams BCCI for UDRS refusal

England pacer Chris Tremlett on Tuesday slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for its continuous refusal of using the controversial Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS).

India will tour England next month to play four Tests, five one-day internationals and a Twent20 match. And just like the ongoing series against the West Indies, there will be no UDRS.

The UDRS is a system where teams are allowed two correct referrals per innings to the TV umpire and ICC has been promoting it constantly for the improvement of the game.

However, opposition from BCCI and many senior players including Indian skipper MS Dhoni goes against the wishes of the ICC.

Tremlett admitted that he is baffled by India's refusal to accept the review system.

"I am a fan of the system. If the technology is there it should be used," said Tremlett.

He added: "Who knows why India is against it. There have been a few decisions that have been rightly overturned and as a bowler you want those decisions given out. It's a fair way of doing things. I'm fully in agreement with it."

BCCI has always opposed the system saying they are not satisfied with its accuracy.

"The hot spot has shown that it works. In Australia we had a few decisions correctly overturned,'' countered Tremlett.

"It is very accurate. Sometimes there is a lot of noise around a Test match and an umpire might not hear a fine nick so it's an important thing to have."

"Hawkeye is fair too so it'll be a shame. It has been a successful thing over the last six months."

The last and the only time, Indian team used UDRS was way back in 2008 on Sri Lanka tour.

The system proved to be a disadvantage for the visitors as 11 decisions went against them compared to one against Sri Lanka.
