COLOMBO: The Sri Lankan players, who benefited immensely from the referral system in the first Test, have welcomed the new ICC initiative even as Indian skipper Anil Kumble chose to wait and watch. The referral system, introduced in the ongoing India-Sri Lanka Test series, played a crucial role in the host’s innings win with four Indian batsmen being referred to successfully. Kumble, however, said the system required a review. “A few dismissals were obviously negated under the referral system. The new system is something we have to take forward. It definitely requires a review but it is too early to say,” he said. Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene said the new system definitely reduced the margin of error. “If it wasn’t used in this Test we would have probably had four bad decisions going against us. The decisions for both Tendulkar and Dravid were tough ones for the on-field umpire,” he said. — PTI
