DRS in NPL: Can reviews settle disputes that marked first two seasons?

Summary

The Cricket Association of Nepal is considering introducing DRS for the Nepal Premier League after disputed umpiring calls marred the first two seasons. Limited budget, camera coverage and system accuracy will shape whether the review technology can work effectively in the third season.

Key Points
  • The Cricket Association of Nepal is weighing whether to introduce the Decision Review System in the Nepal Premier League third season.
  • Secretary Paras Khadka said CAN has tested technology from two companies and is assessing its accuracy and effectiveness.
  • Disputed LBW, caught-behind, stumping and no-ball calls in the first two NPL seasons have fueled calls for formal reviews.
  • Budget limits and broadcast coverage will influence which decisions can actually be reviewed if DRS is adopted.
