The Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced that the controversial Decision Review System (DRS) will not be used in the upcoming Test series between Australia and Sri Lanka.
Citing financial problems, the Sri Lanka Ccricket (SLC) interim committee chairman Upali Dharmadasa said that the DRS will not be used as the board cannot bear the cost of the technology. DRS will cost $150,000 to SLC for the series comprising three Tests, five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals.
Dharmadasa was quoted in Times of India as saying, “We have decided not to have it for the Australian series,".
He however added that the board will be in a position to include the DRS once the board fids a sponsor. The SLC is yet to receive $3.975 million for the entire tour from Ten Sports.
SLC has been struggling to find sponsors after the world cup, as most of the sponsors have reduced investing after the recently concluded Indian Premier League and the World Cup.
