Unfair Attitude of BCCI towards Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS)



In this modern world of latest technology the game of cricket is suffering from the wrong  decisions of umpires. It is happening because of not using Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) by ICC in all cricket matches. This system has produced clean results where it has been used. Now in recent tour of India to South Africa, in 3rd test match some decisions of umpire were doubtful. South Africans were not satisfied from these decisions and they expressed their views against these decisions openly. In recent tour of Pakistan to Newzealand, in 1st Test Match some decisions of umpire were looked like wrong during Newzealand inning on first day. Most of the cricket umpires, experts and players are feeling need of using this system. During Matches commentators are also in favoure of this system.
But ICC would not use this system, because India is against this system.  ICC is making excuses of funds, but infact it is the pressure from Indian which is not allowing ICC to implement this system in all international matches.  Here some questions arise. Why India is against this system. Little master Sachin Tendulkar is against this system also. Infact after so many great achievements, Tendulkar is still feeling that he cannot survive without umpires support. Infact now-a-days India is enjoying superior position in ICC because of the charm of the money. BCCI is a rich board in the cricket world. Therefore, ICC is acting like puppets on the direction of BCCI. Because the present management of ICC is not working for betterment of the game, but it is working for money also. Now when BCCI has great influence in ICC decisions, therefore, umpires are very careful while giving decisions against Indian players. Actual umpires are afraid to be thrown by India from Elite Panel if they make India unhappy. One of the example is Steve Buckner. How ICC thrown him from a series on pressure of BCCI. So, therefore, these umpires are making doubtful decisions in favour of Indian Players. This is the reason that BCCI is against this system. In presence of UDRS Indian player cannot get doubtful decisions in their favour.
The other reason is IPL. Actual IPL is a controversial league which came into existence for making money. On one side India is making money from sponsors and franchise and on the other side bookies are involved in it. If this system has been introduced to IPL also, bookies will be not able to get unexpected results through umpires. So, the aim of earning money from this league by Indian boards by any means could not be completed.

Therefore, the other Cricket Playing Nations should pressurize ICC to use UDRS in all matches, even in ODIs and T-20s also. Only this system can make the game free from disputes
