Ajinkya Rahanes plate is fairly full in Test cricket. At No. 5, he has often been the leader of an Indian counterattack. In the field, he is the first-choice at first slip for the spinners. Since the away series against West Indies in 2016, he has been vice-captain. One more responsibility has fallen on his shoulders ahead of the five Tests against England at home: helping India make optimum use of the Decision Review System, especially considering the hosts will be using it for the first time in a Test series since 2011, whereas England have rarely ever played without it.It is a completely new concept for all of us, Rahane said. Well have to wait and see about the DRS, but yes, weve been discussing about this from the last series and we had some plan. Wicketkeeper is obviously very important and as a slip fielder, you have that role to convey that message to the captain and also bowler.As a batsman, you are completely involved in the game, you have to see where the ball is going and you have to convey that message to your partner. You have to be sure all the time.When asked if DRS might be a key influence on the outcome of the series, Rahane said: Yes, but that comes later on, We will spend some time explaining about DRS, how it works and how we should approach it. But the main focus is to play good cricket here. DRS obviously comes later on.We want to dominate this series, weve been playing some very good cricket in the last one, one-and-a-half years. So important to start well here in Rajkot and continue that momentum into the series.The BCCI had been, for a long time, reluctant to use DRS because it felt the system could not provide 100% accuracy. MS Dhoni had previously wondered if the system existed to reach the correct decision or if it was there to protect the on-field umpires call. With time, however, the technology has improved which in turn has helped change the teams view. Since their visit to Bangladesh in 2015, Virat Kohlis first tour as full-time Test captain, India have spoken about how they were discussing the implementation of DRS. Anil Kumbles inputs must have helped - the current India coach is also chairman of the ICCs cricket committee, which has been working towards eradicating the possibility of faults in the system.In October, ICC general manager Geoff Allardice made a presentation to the BCCI about the improvements that have been made over the years. The HawkEye cameras that were used for ball-tracking in the 2011 World Cup in India recorded 50-75 frames per second. The ones in this series can record 340 frames per second. This means there is more data to calculate the predicted path of the ball - say, after it hits the pad in case of lbw decisions - and therefore less chance of error. Also with respect to the lbw protocol, the ICC has tweaked the rule to effectively make the stumps larger and as such there is the possibility that not-out calls made on the field have a high chance of being overturned by the third umpire.The BCCI is yet to reach a decision on whether it will continue using DRS after the England series.

Jets ready for take off We speak to Kate Lightfoot ahead of Mondays live Superleague The hosts and the visiting Jets are yet to claim a victory in the Superleague after four matches, but both teams will view this fixture as a perfect opportunity to kick-start their campaigns.Team Northumbria slipped to a 28-58 defeat to Team Bath on Friday night, while the Jets were beaten 38-51 by Hertfordshire Mavericks. But there should be plenty of points in this early season basement battle, with both teams displaying defensive frailties in their first few games.Yorkshire goal defence Kate Lightfoot admits the new-look squad is still a work in progress, but is confident the team can soon climb the table.The majority of the team are new players, said Lightfoot, who is still sidelined with a broken finger. There is a few off us that have gone back, having played a few years ago, but in terms of a mixture of players, I think its a completely new squad of 15.dddddddddddd Englands Stacey Francis was one of Yorkshires pre-season recruits I think we thought we would know our combinations more by the start of the season, but that is still a work in progress to be completely honest with you. I dont think we are 100 per cent there.But Im happy to say that being involved in training this week for the first time since my injury, it feels like we are really starting to get there in terms of the intensity we need to be at - as a squad.Hopefully the results will now follow.Watch Team Northumbria take on the Yorkshire Jets on Monday, starting at 7.30pm, live on Sky Sports 2.
