DRS will be used in the PSL playoffs in the UAE on March 1 and 3, League chairman Najam Sethi announced. However, it won't be available for the final in Lahore on March 3 as the company handling Hawk-Eye technology has refused to travel to Pakistan following the bomb blasts in Lahore last month.

While the ball-tracking technology has been used by broadcasters for long, Hawk-Eye was not part of the umpires' decision-making process in T20I. During the International Cricket Council Board’s meeting in Dubai last month, the Cricket Committee was given the go-ahead to draw up a plan for the technology to be incorporated in T20Is starting with the next Women's World T20, to be played in West Indies in 2018.

The PSL will also mark the first time that DRS will be used in a T20 match. Each side will be allowed one review per innings like in ODIs. 

The technology available for the TV umpires will include (a) slow-motion replays from all available cameras, (b) ultra-motion replays from all available cameras, (c) sound from the stump mics with replays at normal speed and in slow motion, (d) HawkEye, and (e) ultra edge.
