LONDON: Darrell Hair on Tuesday dropped his claim for racial discrimination against the International Cricket Council after securing a deal that could lead to the Australian resuming his career as a Test match umpire next year. A statement made to a London employment tribunal on the seventh day of what was supposed to be a ten-day hearing said that Hair “unconditionally” withdrew his allegation of race discrimination by world cricket’s governing body. Under a deal finalised on Tuesday morning, the 55-year-old umpire will now work with ICC management on a “rehabilitation” programme and the ICC will decide in March 2008 whether he can return to top-level umpiring.
Meanwhile, the PCB has asked its legal advisors to find out if South African umpire Rudi Koertzen had breached any ICC code of conduct by allegedly describing the Pakistani players as “cheats.” Hair had said at the racial discrimination hearing that Koertzen in a telephone conversation called the Pakistanis cheats. — Agencies
