Wadekar joins ICL, appointed match referee

Significantly, not a single Indian umpire has been drafted in. The list of umpires, all from England, is: Raymond Julian, Jeffrey Evans, Trevor Jesty and Dean Johnson. The first three have vast experience of officiating at the first class level.

Commenting on the selections, ICL8217;s Executive Board Chairman Kapil Dev said umpiring a cricket match was not an easy task as it requires precision and experience to give right decision.

8220;Our umpires and referees have rich experience of the game and an eye for precision too. We are happy to have them with us,8221; he said.
