U is for...Umpiring & UDRS
They can quite often be the difference between winning and losing, particularly in close contests. The Champions Trophy is a condensed tournament with eight closely-matched sides and a key decision can decide a match.
Asad Rauf of course has been withdrawn for reasons we all know about.
The remaining umpires at the Champions Trophy are
- Billy Bowden
- Aleem Dar
- Steve Davis
- Ian Gould
- Tony Hill
- Kumar Dharmasena
- Marais Erasmus
- Richard Kettleborough
- Nigel Llong
- Bruce Oxenford
- Rod Tucker
No replacement for Rauf has yet been named, although it's not clear whether one will be required.
Which umpires would you want for your team's matches?
