Cricket's umpiring Decision Review System will be used in Zimbabwe for the first time on Sunday when the hosts take on Sri Lanka in the second Test at Harare Sports Club.

The DRS has been seen as a solution to reducing umpiring errors, but has not been universally adopted since its trial in 2008.

While India has refused to use the system because it did not believe that the technology it is based on was foolproof, Zimbabwe have not had the funds required for it.

"I look at matches and I see the different levels of technology and you see umpires are left without conclusive evidence in one series where in another series they might have conclusive evidence with all tools available," ICC's general manager of cricket operations Geoff Allardice said this week.

“There are some  challenges but I think we should be striving for a more consistent delivery of technology at all international matches."
