Simon Taufel Proposes ICC Ownership of Cricket Technology Amid DRS Debates

Former international umpire Simon Taufel advocates for the ICC to own cricket technology, citing a lack of accountability with broadcaster-supplied systems. He believes ICC ownership would ensure greater transparency and control over decision-making tools like the Decision Review System (DRS). Taufel acknowledged DRS isn't perfect but gets many decisions right, suggesting a return to the umpire's soft signal for certain calls. His comments follow similar sentiments from cricketer Mitchell Starc regarding technology uniformity and cost.
