       They are a long way from saying 'it's a good idea,'" Richardson told Test Match Special. I don't think it's necessarily only the administrators, say people like Anil Kumble for example. He's going to take some persuading.Richardson also spoke about the ICC's preparation for the World Test Championship, the first such event, which is expected to be played in the summer of 2017. India, along with Sri Lanka, were the first users of the DRS in 2008, when Kumble was India's captain. Since technology was not as enhanced as it is now, Richardson said it could take longer to convince the BCCI, the only board not to have accepted DRS. "He [Kumble] was captain of the India team when they first trialled it and the technology wasn't very good. The players weren't used to it so every time the Indians asked for a review it went against them. Once the Champions Trophy is finished, we'll then make an effort to really promote the road to the World Test Championship finals," Richardson said. Every series that gets played [between 2013 and 2017] will essentially be counting to the qualification for the Test championship.
