The Elite Panel umpire,
Billy Doctrove, has ended his 14-year international career after announcing
retirement from umpiring. According to the confirmation from ICC, the
56-year-old umpire will not extend his contract that will expire at the end of
this month.
Doctrove was chosen for
umpiring in the forthcoming ODI and Test series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan but withdraw
due to a family bereavement. It would have been his last assignment as an elite
panelist.
Billy Doctrove made his ODI
debut on 4 April 1998 in a
match between between the West
Indies and England in Kingstown, St
Vincent. After two years
in Antigua, he stood in his first Test that was played
between the West Indies and Pakistan.
He stood in 38 Tests, 112
ODIs and 17 T20Is, including the final of the ICC World Twenty20 2010 between England and Australia in Barbados.
