There will be three ODIs and five T20 Internationals between Pakistan and New Zealand.
Member Boards can avail DRS technology only by providers approved by the International Cricket Council.
The Decision Review System (DRS) will not be used during the upcoming Pakistan vs New Zealand limited overs series as the host PCB could not procure the services of an approved provider for the technology.
Reports suggest that the Pakistan Cricket Board and the producers/broadcasters were unable to find an approved provider of the technology required to run the system for the series starting September 17.
As per prescribed ICC regulations, member boards can only avail DRS technology by providers approved by the International Cricket Council. A source said the DRS technology will be in place for the T20 Internationals against England in Lahore in October.
There will be three ODIs and five T20 Internationals between Pakistan and New Zealand. While Rawalpindi will host the ODIs on September 17, 19 and 21, the T20Is will take place on September 25, 25, 29, October 1 and October 3 in Lahore.
According to another source, one of the biggest reasons for not being able to find the DRS technology provider and operator was that the PCB sold the media rights for the New Zealand series too late.
The source further added that since a lot of cricket is being played across the world, it becomes imperative for the host country to procure the equipment technology in advance.
The New Zealand team will reach Pakistan on Saturday. All members of the Pakistan side have tested negative for Covid, and they have also started their practice session at the Pindi Cricket Stadium on Friday.
