Narendra Modi glad pacts with Australia are not subject to DRS

New Delhi: A pact to expand counter-terror cooperation was among six agreements India and Australia inked on Monday as the two countries called for strong action against terrorism.

While Mr Modi thanked Mr Turnbull for passage of a legislation by the Australian parliament with bi-partisan support paving way for the country to export uranium to India, Mr Turnbull said he was looking forward to starting the supply “as soon as possible”.

Using cricket analogy, Mr Modi, in a lighter vein, said “I am, of course, glad that our decisions are not subject to the DRS review system.” Decision Review System (DRS) is a technology-based mechanism in cricket to review controversial umpiring decisions.

A row had erupted when Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli had complained to the umpires immediately after Australian captain Steve Smith sought dressing room assistance for DRS during the Bengaluru Test match.
