Former Pakistan cricketer Aamir Sohail has said that the Decision Review System could never be perfect because it was a man-made technology, and cricketers and administrators had to realise it quickly.

According to pakpassion.net, Sohail said DRS should instead be used just as help for umpires and it was man-made, at the end of the day.

The former player said that the system should just be used as help for umpires instead of thinking that it is the be-all and end-all for decision making.

He also pointed out that the technology could never be perfect as long as it was in the wrong hands.
