The controversial Hot Spot will not be used in the five-match ODI series between India and England, the head of the company behind the technology has confirmed. BBG Sports chief executive, Warren Brennan, said that his company has determined not to bring the Hot Spot technology for the upcoming ODI series after it did not find BCCI's support."BBG Sports is dissatisfied at how the Hot Spot performed in the UK during the England vs India series.

There were several incidents where we were hoping for improved outcomes from the technology," Brennan said."Following the comments by Mr Srinivasan on September 20th, in relation to Hot Spot and the DRS process, BBG Sports believed it did not have the support of the BCCI and swiftly decided not to bring the Hot Spot to India for their upcoming home series," Brennan added.

In July, the BCCI had agreed to cooperation with the ICC wherein the technology was made compulsory in the use of DRS while ball-tracking technology was made optional. But upon taking over as BCCI president, N Srinivasan reverted to the Board's original stance against the DRS, following Hot Spot's performance on the England tour.

"It is not necessary for me to reside on the correctness of Hot Spot it was there for everyone to see. The BCCI will, at the next ICC meeting, raise the issue. We want to revisit it because we feel that Hot Spot is inadequate. We do not wish to use the DRS in its present form, even in its minimum standard," Srinivasan had said after the BCCI's Annual General Meeting last month.
