WI, Bangladesh captains declare that there is no issue with UDRS

DHAKA: The Indian cricket board is backing captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni over his controversial statement about the implementation of the Umpire Decision Review Decision (UDRS) after a decision went against them in the thrilling tie against England but not many skippers in the World Cup are willing to throw in their hats in the ring.

West Indies captain Darren Sammy refused to be drawn into the affair saying, "You have to ask the BCCI to answer this not me".

About his view on UDRS Sammy said, "I think it's a good asset to have in today's game as it minimizes errors. It brings out the correct decision most of the time. I've have no problems with it. It's a good addition to the game."

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan, too, felt that the UDRS is more beneficial than detrimental. "I have no complains, I don't know about the others," he said.

"Technology helps, maybe not 100 per cent of the times. I still feel we should use it," added Shakib.

Dhoni had said that "adulteration of the technology with human intervention wasn't good for the game".

India on its part hasn't approved the use of UDRS stating that the technology isn't true at all times.
