India could be set to relax their long-standing opposition to the Decision Review System (DRS) in their upcoming home Test series against England.

According to English newspaper The Daily Mail, International Cricket Council general manager Geoff Allardice will travel to India this week along with a representative from ball-tracking technology company Hawk Eye in an attempt to persuade the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to adopt the DRS.

India are the only Test-playing nation who opt not to use the DRS for international matches, with the BCCI having often questioned the accuracy of the technology underpinning it.

While former India captain MS Dhoni shared his board’s scepticism of the DRS, current skipper Virat Kohli and coach Anil Kumble are reportedly more open to it.

Kohli recently suggested the use of the DRS in matches involving India is likely at some stage in his tenure.

"We will certainly look to probably introduce it (the DRS) in the future," the 27-year-old said last month.

"These are the things we have discussed. These are things we have had meetings on. Because there were some areas that we felt can be debated. Especially ball-tracking and Hawk Eye.

“But, all in all … I personally feel these things can be discussed and debated on.”

The ICC recently made an amendment to the ‘umpire’s call’ ruling of the DRS, with Australia’s recently-concluded Qantas Tour of South Africa the first international series to be subject to the new regulation.

The previous protocols for overturning an "umpire's call" verdict on an lbw decision required the ball-tracking software to rule that more than half of the ball would hit a zone that was between the middle of the off and leg stumps and below the bottom of the bails.

The change saw that zone increased to the outside of the off and leg stumps, but still below the bottom of the bails.

England begin their five-Test tour of India on November 9 in Rajkot following their upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh.
