Advocate Lockie is a senior barrister from Edinburgh and a member of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission. He is also a Disciplinary Tribunal Member for Cricket Scotland and has vast experience in adjudicating on cricket related matters, while Mr Lloyd is a former West Indies captain and Chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee.
Commenting on the appointment of Advocate Lockie and Mr Lloyd, ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said: The ICC has appointed two eminent individuals to investigate the exact circumstances relating to the application of the DRS in Johannesburg.
The DRS is a ground-breaking system which was introduced to eliminate the obvious umpiring errors. The majority of players and officials who experienced the system in the southern hemisphere summer, have expressed qualified support for using the system.
While this feedback is positive and reassuring, we understand the need to continue enhancing the system in these early days and I’m sure this independent investigation will assist in that regard.
The exact parameters and timeframe of the investigation will be determined in due course.
