Pakistan won't have DRS for home series against Bangladesh
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided against using Decision Review System (DRS) technology during the three-match T20I home series against Bangladesh due to cost issues. A reliable PCB source said due to the lack of interest in the series which begins Wednesday the Board had decided against having the DRS technology. 'It is not cost effective for the board or broadcasters to have DRS technology in the series,' the source said. Bangladesh is missing some key players due to various reasons including experienced left arm pacer Mustafizur Rehman, who injured his thumb while playing in the Indian Premier League. A few Bangladesh players and members of the support staff have also opted out of the tour because of security concerns with Liton Das leading them in the three matches. Bangladesh reached Lahore after suffering an embarrassing 2-1 loss against UAE in Sharjah in a T20 series. The PCB and broadcasters also didn't have DRS technology for the second phase of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) which was held after the recent border conflict with India.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20I series to be played without DRS technology: sources
The much-awaited Pakistan-Bangladesh T20 series, set to begin on May 28, will be played without the assistance of the Decision Review System (DRS), according to sources within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). As the first match of the series approaches, the absence of this crucial technology has raised eyebrows, especially following the conclusion of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL), where DRS had been implemented. The absence of DRS for the upcoming three-match series has been attributed to the unavailability of the technical staff that typically operates the system. According to PCB sources, the team responsible for the technology has yet to return following the conclusion of the HBL PSL. As a result, the DRS system will not be available for use during the three T20 matches, scheduled to take place at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on May 28, May 30, and June 1. The Bangladesh team has already been informed of the decision, and the series will proceed without the system that has become a staple in modern international cricket. While the DRS absence may raise questions about its potential impact on the fairness of decisions, both teams are expected to adapt to the circumstances. Ahead of the series, the PCB also announced that a press conference with the team captains and the unveiling of the trophy will take place later today, as fans await the exciting clashes between the two nations.
