Cricket Australia called on the ICC to clarify why Usman Khawaja was given out on first day of third Ashes Test.
The use of the Decision Review System by the third umpires has been heavily criticised by both teams during the Ashes, Earlier Jonathan Trott was given out in the first Test.
The Hosts were frustrated when third umpire Marais Erasmus ruled Ashton Agar not out at Trent Bridge.
Now this time Aussies, after Khawaja was given out, caught behind off the bowling of Graeme Swann.
Cricket Australia’s chief executive, James Sutherland has now called on the ICC to explain why Khawaja was given out.
“Cricket Australia has sought an explanation from the ICC on the dismissal of Usman Khawaja. In our view, the on-field decision and referred decision using DRS were both incorrect,” said Sutherland.
“CA remains a strong supporter of DRS and believes it is important that cricket continues to improve and build confidence in the DRS.
“We understand and accept that from time to time mistakes can be made, however in this instance, on behalf of the player, the team and all cricket fans, we feel duty bound to seek further explanation as to how this decision was arrived at.”
