SYDNEY: The poor umpiring in the second Test between India and Australia has prompted International Cricket Council (ICC) to push for a player-driven appeal system to minimize umpiring errors.

The proposed system, where teams can appeal against an on-field umpire's decision for review by the third umpire using TV replays, will come up for trial during the Champions Trophy in Pakistan in September.

Under the system, a team would have privilege of appealing up to three decision in an innings, but the ICC made it clear that it would not be trialled in the Test matches as yet.
