Earlier this week, former Australian skipper Ian Chappell had suggested the ICC to ban switch-hitting saying the shot is "blatantly unfair" to the bowlers and the fielding team.
Simon Taufel has urged BCCI to strengthen the umpiring programme as part of bolstering the domestic cricket structure in the country.
Taufel, who was present at the first ever pink ball Test in Adelaide as ICC Umpire Performance and Training Manager, said the umpires can use artificial lenses to have a better view.

Taufel was present when the first pink-ball Test was played in 2015 between Australia and New Zealand in Adelaide.

Taufel said that Pandya and Rahul have their careers lying ahead and remained hopeful they will come out of the incident as better persons.
