“We’ll be contracting for a long time. We are looking to sign a contract with the company that could supply this service until 2027. DRS will be available in all domestic and international games in Bangladesh,” said Nizamuddin.

BCB were trying to establish DRS system into countries domestic cricket for a long time. 

“We were interested in including DRS in the country’s domestic competition. We attempted to outsource DRS to our production team. That is why we have decided to extend the contract,” he added.
