Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar today said he was not convinced about the ICC Umpires Referral system which he experienced first hand on India's tour of Sri Lanka last year.

"When I was there in Sri Lanka last time, I did not particularly like the Umpires Referral system. There is still an element of uncertainty in the system," the champion batsman said here after launching a new product for Aviva Life Insurance.

"I still prefer the hotspot system to identify the contact between the ball and bat. The LBW decisions are not convincing enough as the Hawk Eye gives a 22-yard view which the new referral system does not agree with... as to whether the ball would have hit the stumps or not," Tendulkar said. Tendulkar also ruled himself out from playing in two Twenty20 Internationals against New Zealand in India's tour, commencing later this month. About his decision not to play anymore Twenty20 Internationals, Tendulkar said that the reason was he did not want to disturb the settled team, which won the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007.

Sachin Tendulkar has revealed that he does not see himself as part of India's Twenty20 plans. The master batsman, who returned home after the ODIs in Sri Lanka without playing the only T20 there, said he's looking forward to the New Zealand tour but Twenty20 is not part of his plans.
