The ICC has ended the mandatory use of DRS and reverted to its pre-June position, by which its use will be subject to bilateral agreements between the participating boards. The organisation's executive board, which met in Dubai on October 10, also approved the new Associates and Affiliates qualifying system for the 2015 World Cup, agreed to make the findings of the independent governance review panel public, and expressed a preference for a Test Championship in 2013.

The DRS decision marks a reversal of the agreement between the ICC and its member boards at the annual conference in Hong Kong as the Hot Spot was made mandatory, subject to availability and use of tracking logs, was left to play the board to decide. But the board of the ICC said DRS will always be used in all ICC events from global and they support the use of technology and continue to work on its development.

"Despite the improvement DRS decisions by the referee correctly five percent and fixes all blunders, there are some who are not convinced of its reliability," said Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, said in a statement . "We will continue working with stakeholders to improve the system while the teams to decide whether to use or not."

Amend the provisions of the DRS was followed by criticism of the BCCI Hot Spot during the India series in England. At the board meeting last month, the president N Srinivasan said that current technology simply is not good enough, when the hot spot, has proved unsuccessful a couple of times on tour, and that the government raise the issue in the next ICC meeting.

India captain MS Dhoni has also expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of the DRS in more than one occasion in the same lap, Rahul Dravid are subjected to particularly controversial three dismissals.

In other decisions, he asked the PCB and the Bangladesh Cricket Board to submit their nominations for the ICC vice-president from 2012 to 14, in line with its current constitution.

The qualification for the next World Cup will be the two best teams in the course of eight associates and affiliates ODI teams over 50 League, which will be played until October 2013 is automatic. The other six teams will then join the other four teams in the League Cricket World (third and fourth ranked teams in Section 2 and the teams finishing first and second in Section 3) in another event ten teams qualifying. The two finalists of this event will also go to the World Cup.

Independent administrative appeals, chaired by Lord Woolf, hopes to report to the ICC in early 2012, after which it is published. The exhibition is part of the new Strategic Plan for the International Criminal Court 2011-15, and the scope of the Constitution, within the framework of the International Criminal Court, the President of the electoral process, the conditions of accession and to "clarify the role and structure of the ICC and its Committees to ensure that strategic objectives are achieved efficiently and that the decision has been interest in the game. This would be the independent committee members and leaders. "

Not a question mark over the fate of the Championship event with the ICC to grant you meet the challenges of business to replace the Champions Trophy. ESPN Star Sports has the broadcasting rights for ICC events, and Lorgat said without the support and consent of its media partners, the financial impact on members and game development would be important.

"It would be a shame if the league trial has been delayed until 2017, but the board needs to balance several objectives," Lorgat said.
