Former ICC Panel Umpire Asad Rauf dies at 66 after cardiac arrest

Rauf
officiated
in
64
Tests

49
as
on
field,
15
as
the
third
umpire-
139
ODIs
(98
as
on
field,
41
as
the
third
umpire)
and
28
T20Is
(23
as
on
field,
5
as
the
third
umpire).

He
was
one
of
the
finest
umpires
of
his
time.
He
joined
the
ICC
elite
panel
in
2006
a
year
after
officiating
his
first
Test.

Along
with
Aleem
Dar,
he
was
a
well-liked
personality
on
the
circuit
who
contributed
to
enhancing
the
standing
of
Pakistani
umpires
prior
to
the
neutral
umpire
era.

Rauf
played
for
National
Bank
and
Railways
during
his
lengthy
first-class
career
as
a
middle-order
hitter,
averaging
28.76
from
71
first-class
games.

Pakistani
wicket
keeper-batter
Kamran
Akmal
took
to
Twitter
to
convey
his
condolences.
“Sad
to
know
about
the
news
of
former
ICC
umpire
Asad
Rauf’s
demise,”
he
wrote
on
his
Twitter
handle.

Rauf’s
career
was
ruined
by
charges
of
spot-fixing
and
match-fixing
in
cricket
matches,
and
in
February
2016
he
received
a
five-year
suspension
after
being
found
guilty
of
corruption.
