The English cricket team are currently touring India between November 2016 and January 2017 to play five Tests, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2][3] The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the dates of the tour in July 2016.[4]
India have agreed to use DRS for the Test series against England on trial basis to evaluate the improvements made in the system.[5] This is the first time since 2008 that there will be a bilateral series involving India with all the components of the review system in place.[6] However, Hot Spot will not be among the tools available to be used.[7]
