IPL 2010 : Mumbai Indians! Duniya Hilla Denge!

Feb 12, 2009

No T20 for me, will not disturb settled team: Sachin

Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday said he was not convinced with the ICC Umpires Referral system which he experienced first hand on India's tour of Sri Lanka in 2008.

"When I was there in Sri Lanka last time, I did not particularly like the Umpires Referral system. There is still an element of uncertainty in the system," the champion batsman said in Mumbai after launching a new product for Aviva Life Insurance.

"I still prefer the hotspot system to identify the contact between the ball and bat. The LBW decisions are not convincing enough as the Hawk Eye gives a 22-yard view which the new referral system does not agree with as to whether the ball would have hit the stumps or not," Tendulkar said.

Tendulkar also ruled himself out from playing in two Twenty20 Internationals against New Zealand in India's tour, commencing later this month.

About his decision not to play anymore Twenty20 internationals, Tendulkar said that the reason was he did not want to disturb the settled team, which won the inaugural Twenty20 world Cup in South Africa in 2007.
