The ICC added that the front foot no-ball technology will be assessed before any decisions are taken regarding its use in future games. �Front foot no-ball technology to be used in ICC World Test Championship series featuring England and Pakistan, with the support of both teams,� the ICC tweeted.
�Performance of the technology in these Tests will be reviewed before any decision is taken on its future use in Test cricket,� it added.
