The International Cricket Council have decided on the four series in which they will extend their trial of the umpire review system, beginning with New Zealand's two-Test battle against West Indies in December.
The system has caused debate and controversy since it was first trialled in England in 2007, and it received mixed reactions on its international debut between Sri Lanka and India earlier this year.
The umpire decision review system allows a side up to three unsuccessful appeals per innings.
The idea to extend the trial was agreed upon by the ICC on the first day of their board meeting in Dubai, subject to agreement by the relevant chief executives of the participating country boards.
The ICC board also considered an application from the controversial Indian Cricket League (ICL), seeking approval for their competition, at the sitting.
However, a decision was adjourned pending further discussions between Shashank Manohar, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and ICL officials.
The ICC board has agreed to look at possible changes to bilateral tours, including an enhanced Test championship, and to undertake further research into whether there should be an application to have cricket included in the 2020 Olympics.
