AFP, London :
A top international cricket committee on Thursday called for TV referrals to be used in T20 internationals and gave high level backing to a Test world championship.
In addition, umpires will be allowed to send off players for misconduct, bat sizes will be restricted for the first time and run out rules changed from October 1 if the recommendations are approved by the International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executives committee.
The ICC cricket committee, headed by outgoing India coach Anil Kumble and several former star players made the recommendations after a two-day meeting at Lord’s in London on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The so-called Decision Review System (DRS) — where a TV umpire makes a call on decisions taken on the field-is already used in Tests and one-day internationals.
The cricket committee said it should be extended to T20 internationals.
The committee said teams will not lose a review, in any game, when an lbw decision comes back from the TV umpire.
At the moment, teams can call for one review in each innings in one day games and two for every 80 overs bowled in Test matches.
