The contentious Hot Spot will not be used in the five-match ODI series between India and England, the head of the company behind the technology has established.
BBG Sports chief decision-making, Warren Brennan, said that his company has determined not to bring the Hot Spot technology for the upcoming ODI series after it did not find BCCI's support.
"BBG Sports is dissatisfied at how the Hot Spot perform in the UK during the England vs India series. There were a number of incidents where we were hoping for better outcome from the technology," Brennan said.
"Following the commentary by Mr Srinivasan on September 20th, in relation to Hot Spot and the DRS process, BBG Sports supposed it did not have the support of the BCCI and promptly determined not to bring the Hot Spot to India for their upcoming home series," Brennan added.
During India's ODI series in England in August, Hot Spot had proved uncertain during referrals of several appeals for caught-behind and was then criticized by the BCCI.
In July, the BCCI had agreed to a negotiation with the ICC wherein the technology was made obligatory in the use of DRS while ball-tracking technology was made optional.
But upon taking over as BCCI president, N Srinivasan reverted to the Board's original stance against the DRS, following Hot Spot's performance on the England tour.
"It is not needed for me to dwell on the accuracy of Hot Spot; it was there for everybody to see. The BCCI will, at the next ICC meeting, raise the issue. We want to return to it because we feel that Hot Spot is inadequate. We do not wish to use the DRS in its present form, even in its minimum standard," Srinivasan had said after the BCCI's Annual General Meeting last month.
Brennan hopes that the Hot Spot technology will carry on to be used in the series outside the subcontinent.
"BBG Sports has sustained to invest in Hot Spot technology and has purchase four new Hot Spot cameras in the past six months which we believe could get better the system dramatically," he said.
"These new cameras will be put to good use for series in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia this southern summer," he added.
