Waugh bats for referrals

Melbourne: Former Australian skipper Steve Waugh has batted for a referral system to allow teams to challenge umpiring decisions.

Waugh said issues related to umpiring blunders will have to be seen in a new light post the Sydney Test between India and Australia.

Waugh wrote in his column in The Daily Telegraph: “The time now seems right for a player challenge system, which the MCC Cricket Committee has endorsed and hopes to work in conjunction with the ICC to put in to action shortly, particularly now as the TV viewer is exposed to advanced technology that leave umpires exposed and scrutinised as never before,” he said.

The challenge system will be tried out at this year’s Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan, with three referrals allowed per team. — PTI
