ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat yesterday defended the Decision Review System (DRS) and said "grey areas" in the use of technology would be sorted out in near future.

"We are working on it. The ICC Technical Committee constantly reviews these matters. We are hopeful that all the grey areas will be sorted out quickly. We want cricket to be more interesting," Lorgat told MiD DAY. The ICC came under criticism after a controversial use of the DRS during the tied India-England encounter here on Sunday.

Lorgat said the match, only the fourth tie in the history of the World Cup, was the best advertisement for the 50-overs format of the game.

"Yes, Sunday's match was perfect example for one-day internationals. Who said 50 overs cricket is no more? This match showed how big and thrilling an ODI can be," he said.

The ICC CEO refused to discuss the issue of Virender Sehwag playing without a number on his team jersey. "Sorry, I can't talk about that. We are working on it," he said.
