Revealed: Why wasn’t a soft signal used during Shubman Gill’s capture decision?

Now the reason behind the non-use of the soft signal has been revealed. In particular, ICC removed the concept of a soft signal and now the arbitrators will have no authority to refer the decision to the third arbitrator, as these changes were made in May. Sourav Ganguly, head of the Men’s Cricket Committee, had said that the soft signal used to confuse the third umpire.

“Soft signals have been discussed at previous cricket committee meetings over the past two years. The committee deliberated on this at length and concluded that soft signals were unnecessary and sometimes misleading, as catch references can appear inconclusive on replays. Sourav Ganguly said.
