Darrell Hair
CHENNAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) removed Australian umpire Darrell Hair from its Elite Panel after an executive board meeting in Mumbai on Saturday. "Hair will not be appointed for any international or first class game in the future," said ICC president Percy Sonn, announcing the decision that brought a controversial career to an end. "We have discussed the issue, and the members came to the conclusion that they have lost confidence in him." The decision came after Pakistan complained against Mr. Hair for his part in the forfeiture of the Oval Test in August this year — the first such instance in Test cricket's 129-year history. Mr. Hair had awarded the match to England after Pakistan refused to take the field in protest at the team being accused of ball tampering. ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said Mr. Hair, whose contract was not due to expire until March 2008, was "very disappointed" when the decision was conveyed to him.
