The Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) will not be used for the upcoming ODI series between India and England, the sport's governing body said yesterday.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) said the system will not be in place because the developers and suppliers of "Hot Spot" technology decided "not to make their infra-red cameras available."

India initially opposed the introduction of review technology in Tests and one-dayers but in July softened its stance to allow the hot spot in games to determine edges off the bat. But it has vetoed the additional ball-tracker for leg-before decisions.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reverted to its original opposition to the entire system after hot spot failed to accurately show edges off the bat on several occasions during India's recent dismal tour of England.
