No Indian in ICC panel of umpires for 2012-13 season
No Indian in ICC panel of umpires for 2012-13 season - Hindustan Times

No Indian features in the International Cricket Council's umpires' panel for the 2012-13 season in which England's Nigel Llong was named as the replacement for the recently-retired Billy Doctrove Monday. Meanwhile, Australian Bruce Oxenford was named in 13-umpire team for
the September Twenty20 World Championships in Sri Lanka.

Long replaces Doctrove who announced his retirement from the elite panel last week.

Llong has already umpired in 12 Tests, 55 ODIs and 16 T20Is. He was appointed to the ICC Emirates Panel of International Umpires in 2002.

The 43-year-old made his international umpiring debut in the second-ever T20I, played between England and Australia at Southampton on 13 June 2005.

The following summer in a match between England and Sri Lanka at Lord's, Llong stood in his first ODI. His first Test was two years later in Dunedin in the match between New Zealand and Bangladesh, the ICC said in a statement.

During his playing days as a left-handed batsman and an off-spinner for Kent from 1990-1998, Llong played in 68 first-class matches in which he scored 3,024 runs and took 35 wickets.

Meanwhile, the 12 Elite Panelists -– Billy Bowden, Aleem Dar, Steve Davis, Kumar Dharmasena, Marais Erasmus, Ian Gould, Tony Hill, Richard Kettleborough, Nigel Llong, Asad Rauf, Simon Taufel and Rod Tucker -– will be joined for the ICC World Twenty20 Sri Lanka by Oxenford.

The 52-year-old Oxenford has so far officiated in eight Tests, 34 ODIs and 11 T20Is. He was one of the six umpires who had been named to stand alongside the elite panelists in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 after being identified as an emerging and talented match official.

The match referees for the event will be Ranjan Madugalle and Jeff Crowe, while Graeme La Brooy will be the match referee to the women's part of the event.

The committee, which finalised the umpires' panels for the 2012-13 season and the World Twenty20 consisted of David Richardson (ICC General Manager – Cricket), Ranjan Madugalle (ICC Chief Match Referee), David Lloyd (former player, coach, umpire and now television commentator) and S Venkataraghavan (former elite panel umpire).
 
who cares.. umpires are only there to officiate. They can't win or lose matches!!

One wrong decision can ruin everything. Just imagine if Dhoni was given lbw out in WC final by mistake, we would be still the runner up in WC final.

that can happen to any team.. right? & you can't have the officials from your own country officiating in your matches. So that squares things up anyway...

Im sure India will attempt to get some quality umpires into the ICC panel. I am just super proud to know that Aleem Dar and Asad Rauf have become so respected in the cricketing world. They must be commended and are a great credit to their homeland.

I always admired both Aleem dar & Asad Rauf. Apart from being quality umpires.. they conduct themselves in a very dignified manner & command huge respect from both players & fans alike!!
 
It's not a compliment - such things spoil sports and such control over an organization makes you guys come off as cheats.
I wonder who gave them this control at the first place. Were the other member nations representatives sleeping? Or is it just few countries who don't believe in India?. I am not a big fan of BCCI , but hey its just me, as long as cricket earns buck for every nation players, who will take the moral ground? What's good for cricket is yet to be decided, for sportsmanship, for fair-play and for dignity?
 
Great news.. i hate Indian umpires.. :tdown:

whatever dismissal decisions i had with cricket was all given by Indian umpires.. i hate them.. kill them all..:moil:

Money. People don't give India control because they are very good arbitrators of cricket. Their involvement just means tons and tons of money flow.
 
indians have no talents in umpiring, india never produced good umpires, the best umpires come from england, australia and pakistan
