How it is ensured that the replay shown for a particular incident is correct? For instance, while checking front foot no-ball, host broadcaster can edit and alter the footage to benefit the home team. Is match referee responsible for checking the correctness of the replays?

So you're basically asking how we know that nobody is faking the feed to cheat? Obviously, we can't, but I doubt the ICC is so stupid that they don't do anything about it. – Nij Apr 27 '18 at 7:27

@Nij ..Not just we.i dont think that any of the ICC match official even know about the genuineness of the replays shown. – Ash Apr 28 '18 at 10:50

The host broadcaster is trusted with that responsiblity.
There have been instances of errors in replays, such as this case recently, but there's no evidence of cheating - it would involve collusion between teams, broadcasters and boards. Frankly, there's too much money involved for all of them to start that sort of messing.
