New Delhi, Nov 23 (PTI) After cricket, the umpire review system is set to make its debut in hockey as the International Hockey Federation has decided to put it on trial in the forthcoming Men's Champions Trophy to be held in Melbourne from November 28 to December 5.
As per the system, the teams will be allowed one referral per match if they feel the umpire's decision on goals, penalty corners and penalty strokes has gone against them. The captain would be authorised to request for a review.
If the referral goes in favour of the team asking for it, then they are allowed to request for another referral for the rest of the match.
Under the current system, match umpires can already refer decisions to the video umpire if they are not convinced about awarding or disallowing goals.
