First time DRS to be used in Men's T20 World Cup tournament.
As per the playing conditions released by the ICC this week for the forthcoming T20 World Cup, each team will get a maximum of two reviews per innings.
The governing body had confirmed in June last year an additional unsuccessful DRS review for each team in each innings of a match across all formats, "keeping in mind that there may be less experienced umpires on duty at times" owing to Covid-19-related reasons.
The number of unsuccessful appeals per innings for each team has since increased to two for the white-ball formats and three for Tests.

The ICC has also decided to increase the minimum number of overs for delayed and rain-interrupted matches. During the group stages of the T20 World Cup, each team will need to bat for a minimum of five overs for the result to be decided by the DLS method, which is the norm.
But for the semi-finals and the final, each team will need to bat for a minimum of 10 overs to effect a result. This was a major talking point in the last women’s T20 World Cup 2020 when rain washed out the semi-final between England and India in SCG and England were eliminated in absence of a reserve day.
The DRS was not in use in T20Is when the previous edition of the ICC T20 World Cup was played in 2016 in India. The first ICC T20I tournament to have the DRS was the 2018 women's T20 World Cup in the Caribbean where teams had one review available. DRS was once again used in the 2020 edition of the women’s T20 World Cup in Australia.
