The Relevant Section of the International Cricket Council's Rules, which Control the Framework for International Cricket's Umpire Referral is as Below:

Sharfuddoula Clearly Judged Otherwise.
Sources State that the Technology Utilized in the Host Nation has a Two-Frame Gap between the Visuals and the Noise.

He is a Quiet Individual but there was Scant of Disgruntlement with That England Partnership.
