‘User pays’ principle must be applied with respect to use of Player Referral (DRS) in Cricket. Player Referral is an Intellectual Property Gold Mine for Sri Lanka. It has transcended Cricket and is now used in several other Sports. Not one red cent has so far been paid to Sri Lanka or its inventor despite its Sri Lankan origins. Being a financially struggling country and being dependent on others for sheer survival Sri Lanka cannot afford a costly legal battle to establish legal ownership of Player Referral. 

Therefore, the ICC must act in a Statesmanship manner without resorting to legal technical defenses and depriving a poor country from naming rights and adequate compensation. It must forthwith appoint a Commission of Inquiry or alternatively together with Sri Lanka submit this matter to the  Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The primary body for international sports arbitration is the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), also known as TAS (Tribunal Arbitral du Sport), which is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.
