ICC Champions Trophy

Officials announced. No Nitin Menon, not too surprised by this.
Alex Wharf the chosen International panelist for the tournament
- surprised he’s chosen ahead of Brown!

With the Indian team refusing to travel to Pakistan, it was
inevitable that Menon and Srinath would also not travel there.
They both would be unable to officiate the games in the UAE as
they feature India.
Wharf must now be in pole position to be the next member of the
Elite Panel, I reckon he’ll be a straight swap for Illingworth
who must be close to retirement!

I do wonder what Illingworth’s future plans are. He seems to
have done a lot of travelling recently (along with Rod Tucker)
and must have a decent chance of the WTC final. Could retirement
be looming soon?

I understand with 2 umpires not travelling some choices are
limited and I know "our boys" are well respected but 4 out of 12
from same nation? Seems a lot

I believe as per Ian Goulds autobiography the ‘unofficial’
retirement age for ICC umpires is 62. Illingworth is 62 in
August, Rod Tucker is 62 August 2026 and 7 test matches away
from 100 test matches.

He was apparently offered a position in 2004 and turned it down
as it would take him away from family too much, as did from
memory Peter Willey

No real surprise to see Reiffel and Illingworth on the
India-Pakistan game. Slightly more surprised to see Joel Wilson
on the England-Australia game!
Early SF predictions:
Illingworth, Kettleborough, Tucker and Gaffaney. Final chosen
from those 4 depending on neutrality!

Instead of Joel Wilson ,
Kumar Dharmasena or Ahsan Raza might be the good
options for AUS vs ENG game
