In what could be a major boost to Associate teams, the ICC has recommended there be a qualifier process for the 2015 World Cup and called for the implementation of the Decision Review System (DRS) in all Tests. In its two-day Cricket Committee meeting at Lord's on Wednesday, the ICC also encouraged the use of the pink ball by cricket boards worldwide for trial in day-night first-class cricket, and recommended its use in the Intercontinental Cup, involving Associate and Affiliate teams, later in the year. Among several other suggestions put forward was to amend the laws pertaining runners, with a proposal to do away with them in international cricket. The recommendations will not take effect until approved by the ICC's Chief Executives' Committee which will meet in Hong Kong between June 26-30 this year.
