India will be using the Decision Review System (DRS), comprise the audio tracker and Hot Spot, for the first time in all the 13 home international games later this year.
India has always been very voiced in its disapproval of the DRS but it seems the BCCI is warm up for the technology as it will use the DRS for the first time when it hosts England in a two-sided series in October.
The ICC's new guidelines makes it obligatory to use DRS in Tests and ODIs and Warren Brennan, CEO of BBG Sports, which owns the Hot Spot camera technology, said BCCI has asked for the cameras for India's home season.
Brennan told ESPNcricinfo that four Hot Spot cameras would be in use for the five ODIs next to England and three Tests alongside the West Indies, while two cameras would be in place during the five-match ODI series against the West Indies.
The BCCI doesn't have faith and dependability on the ball-tracker technology which is being used in the DRS. It was also not influenced of the system as it is very expensive.
Infact, Senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar and India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni also share apprehension about the correctness of the technology.
Previously, "clear stump mikes", a Super Slo-Mo camera and ball-tracking technology were used in the DRS but under the new system, infra-red cameras will replace the ball-tracker system.
Under the obligatory use of DRS, teams can make two ineffective appeals against an umpire's decision per innings, in all format of the game.
Earlier this year, the DRS, without the Hot Spot cameras, were used during the 50-over World Cup in the sub-continent.
