Congratulations to Pakteen on becoming the first ever afghan to umpire a test match. Couldn’t ask for a more experienced team than Madugalle and Dar, although it once again questions the non-neutral approach!
Also, congratulations to Brathwaite. He’s another umpire who I think the ICC has an eye on for future elite status so here’s hoping this goes well for him!
