International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Lorgat on Saturday admitted that there are technical problems with the Umpires Decision Review System (UDRS), which will not be used in the Test series between India and West Indies.

The Indian cricket board has heavily opposed the decision review system saying the system is not fool-proof. Lorgat, however, said the world body is pretty satisfied with UDRS, which has been recommended by ICC's cricket committee for all Test matches.

"We are very satisfied with the way UDRS, which is pioneering technology, has progressed. No one doubts that it has helped to raise the percentage of correct decisions ufffd by more than five per cent from about 92 per cent to more than 97 per cent ufffd and crucially it has removed the obvious umpiring errors," Lorgat was quoted as saying by Pakpassion.net.
