BCCI will not accept DRS soon, feels ICC

ICC chief executive Dave Richardson has suggested that India's bad experience of the Decision Review System when it was first trialled might have played a part in BCCI's refusal to accept the controversial technology.

Richardson said it could take a long time for the BCCI to accept DRS and former players like Anil Kumble, who is now ICC Cricket Committee chairman, can play a role in influencing the Indian Board.

"They are a long way from saying 'it's a good idea'. I don't think it's necessarily only the administrators, say people like Kumble for example. He's going to take some persuading," Richardson said.
