The Decision Review System (DRS) will make its debut in the men's T20 World Cup to be held in Oman and UAE starting this month, after the ICC approved its usage in the tournament.

The ICC announced the introduction of DRS at the upcoming showpiece in the playing conditions for the event released by it earlier this week.

The men's T20 World Cup will be held from October 17 to November 14.

According to an ESPNcricinfo report, each team will get a maximum of two reviews per innings.

The governing body had confirmed in June last year an additional unsuccessful DRS review for each team in each innings of a match across all formats, "keeping in mind that there may be less experienced umpires on duty at times" owing to COVID-19-related reasons.

So, the number of unsuccessful appeals per innings for each team has increased to two in the white-ball formats and three in Test matches.

DRS to make debut in upcoming ICC men's T20 World Cup 2021

The second Twenty20 International match between India and New Zealand became controversial when batsman Daryl Mitchell fell to a debatable LBW call.&nbsp;

An inside edge, that was apparent even without the Hotspot technology, was given LBW out by the third umpire.&nbsp;

Mitchell, who made his debut in the first T20I in Wellington, was given out LBW to Krunal Pandya in the seventh over of New Zealand's innings by the on-field umpires and opted for a review on the insistence of his skipper Kane Williamson, who was at the non-striker's end.&nbsp;

Mitchell and Williamson were sure that there was an inside edge but there wasn't any spike on snicko&nbsp;but the TV replays clearly showed there was an inside edge.&nbsp;

Also, a huge spot on the Hotspot could also be detected as the ball passed the bat but eventually he was still given out by third umpire Shaun Haig.&nbsp;

The issue also triggered a debate on the spirit of the game because the only way Mitchell could have survived was if Rohit had called him back after replays on the big screen made it clear that there was an inside edge before the ball hit the batsman's pads.&nbsp;

But the Kiwis, bestowed the spirit of the game award by the ICC quite often, had to accept the controversial call.&nbsp;

Daryl Mitchell out or not out? Controversial LBW raises new debate on DRS

Australia Test skipper Tim Paine has questioned the decision review system, saying it has been "frustrating" to deal with the technology that is "not a perfect system".

Australia endured some frustrating moments during their 31-run loss to India in the first Test when a few decisions went against the hosts after reviewing the umpires calls.

Umpire Nigel Llong had given Ajinkya Rahane out caught at bat-pad for 17 early on Sunday but the decision was overturned on review when replays indicated that the ball had hit the batsman's front pad outside the line of off stump and missed his bat and gloves.

Similarly, Cheteshwar Pujara, who had scored a gritty 123 in the first innings, was adjudged out on eight and 17 to Lyon on Saturday but the dismissals were overturned.

Replays found no contact with bat or gloves in his first dismissal and the second one was overruled as ball tracking suggested that the ball would have gone over the bails.

"Look, it's (DRS) not a perfect system and I haven't got the answers. It's just frustrating, I'd imagine it's frustrating for everyone. But it is what it is," Paine was quoted as saying in the 'Sydney Morning Herald'.

The Australian skipper initially said the calls had been "interesting," then when later asked why DRS was interesting, he said: "I think everything. I don't want to talk about DRS. It's just - it is what it is.

"A lot of balls seem to be going over the top of the stumps, I know that, that live don't look like they are. So yeah, it is what it is."

In Australia's second innings, Aaron Finch was caught in close to off-spinner R Ashwin but he didn't use the DRS after consulting partner Marcus Harris.

Reviews suggested that the ball had not touched the gloves and later third umpire Chris Gaffaney informed Nathan Lyon there was not enough evidence to overturn the decision.

Paine said: "It's one of those things. You can't do much about it. We've been told Aaron's, for instance, would still not have been overturned. Yeah, the DRS is interesting.

"It's a bit different when the batters are out there, it's up to those two, isn't it? Aaron felt something on his glove, it ended up being his pad, that can happen.

"From a bowling and in-the-field perspective, we've got a process we go through with myself and the bowler. Nathan Lyon's at point a lot, he gives us an indication of height. You have to take everyone's piece of information and make good decisions. We got a couple wrong but that can happen."

Former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was against the usage of DRS in Tests and India avoided the technology for eight years after its introduction in Test cricket in 2008.

But after Virat Kohli became the captain, India agreed to the use of DRS in 2016.&nbsp;

Paine also backed pacer Mitchell Starc to <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/perth-will-suit-australia-more-than-india-ponting-183122">rediscover his best in the bouncy tracks of Perth in the second Test</a> after the opening Test where he didn't look menacing despite taking five wickets.

"When Starcy's on song, there is no better bowler in the world, particularly with the new ball," Paine told cricket.Com.Au.

"In Perth, the conditions will suit him down to the ground ... From what I am hearing, the wicket is going to be really fast so he'll be a handful."

Paine admitted Starc was not at his best at Adelaide but acknowledged his role in the team.

"He didn't set the world on fire but I think, for a long time, there's been a really big gap between Starcy's best and his worst," Paine said.

"And from what I'm seeing, that is getting closer and closer every day. Was he at his best? Probably not. But I still thought he played his role."

It is frustrating, it's not perfect system: Australia Test captain on DRS

India will become the last Test nation to embrace cricket&#39;s decision review system (DRS) this week, ending their resistance to on-field technology at a time of growing debate about its impact on the game.

While the recent series between England and Bangladesh fuelled criticism that the constant resort to TV replays has undermined umpires&#39; confidence, DRS supporters say the technology is rapidly improving.

While the other nine teams have been using DRS for years, the world&#39;s number one Test side had resisted over doubts about its reliability, sparked by a frustrating trial run in 2008.

India&#39;s master batsman Sachin Tendulkar was long rumoured to be at the forefront of the opposition in the dressing room and World Cup winning skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was also a sceptic.

But opposition has faded since Tendulkar retired and Dhoni stepped down as Test skipper (he remains ODI captain).

India&#39;s agreement to employ DRS for the five-Test series against England that begins this week came after an International Cricket Council (ICC) presentation last month on upgrades in technology.

Announcing the U-turn, the country&#39;s cricket board president Anurag Thakur said India &quot;recognise the enhanced role of technology in sport&quot; and would deploy all the DRS tools in the England series.

DRS comprises three main elements: ball-tracking technology known as &#39;Hawkeye&#39;; a high-audio microphone known as &#39;snicko&#39; which detects the sound of a ball grazing the bat or gloves; and &#39;hotspot&#39; thermal imaging which can also determine where a ball makes contact.

Improved technology&nbsp;

ICC general manager Geoff Allardice said India&#39;s change of heart stemmed from improvements which more accurately predict whether the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps after hitting a batsman&#39;s pads.

&quot;Our aim for a long time has been to make the DRS technology better with an end goal of getting it used more consistently in international cricket,&quot; he said in a conference call from the ICC&#39;s Dubai headquarters.

Allardice said India&#39;s new coach Anil Kumble has been key to the change of heart after being a DRS proponent in his old position as chairman of the ICC cricket committee.

That the former spinner, who took a record 619 wickets for India, is a DRS fan is no surprise given the system is widely seen to have most benefited spinners.

Figures have shown the number of leg before wicket (LBW) decisions in favour of spinners has roughly doubled since DRS came into widespread usage in 2009.

Before, umpires could rarely be persuaded to raise their finger unless the ball was arrowed towards middle stump but batsmen now often have to walk after being hit on the pad by balls heading for off or leg.

Bishan Bedi, another legendary Indian spinner, is delighted India are finally using DRS.

&quot;Better late than never,&quot; he told AFP, saying India stood to benefit given the number of spinners they employ on their own turning tracks.

&quot;It should be good for the spinners. It cannot humanly be possible to eradicate human error so the more we can reduce it, the better.&quot;

But while India are now on board, the&nbsp;debate about the pros and cons of DRS shows no signs of abating -- particularly after 42 decisions were reviewed in last month&#39;s Bangladesh-England series.

Constant scrutiny

Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena had 16 decisions reviewed, eight of which were overturned by a colleague scrutinising the slow-motion replays.

The constant reviews drained some of the drama from a nail-biting series. It reached its nadir at the end of the first Test when England had to wait several minutes before their victory was confirmed.

Allardice acknowledged the number of reviews going against an umpire was a factor in deciding whether they remain on the elite panel which officiate in Tests, while insisting the ICC wouldn&#39;t &quot;jump to a conclusion on the basis of one single performance&quot;.

India&#39;s former international umpire Krishna Hariharan said it was important players continued to respect the umpires&#39; authority.

&quot;If technology can assist in the betterment of cricket it is definitely welcome, but remember it is always in the hands of the on-field umpire,&quot; said Hariharan who sits on India&#39;s umpire assessment committee.

Some observers say DRS has also undermined a basic tenet of the game, accepting the rough with the smooth.

&quot;There is much rhetoric about the spirit of cricket: but few things have betrayed that spirit more&quot; than DRS, the columnist Simon Heffer wrote in Britain&#39;s Daily Telegraph recently.
