Sachin Tendulkar has admitted that he's not in favour of the umpire referrals system and prefers technology - including Hot Spot for bat-pad catches - to be extended to all decisions except lbw appeals and where the batsman is bowled. Tendulkar also suggested that the umpires in the middle be rotated in the same match, which would allow them time to rest, recharge and concentrate better. Tendulkar said he was in favour of increasing technology in cricket to reduce the load on the umpire, helping him to be more focused and therefore more accurate. The referrals system was first tried out during India's Sri Lanka tour and the innovation has since been used only on a trial basis though it will be re-introduced on a permanent basis from this month. After the initial trials, the ICC had decided to include the Hot Spot to assist the third umpire. Tendulkar welcomed the innovation and added that cricket should capitalise on that aid.
