India vs England: Menon, Chaudhary and Sharma to officiate Test series
The HinduIndia's three ICC-panel umpires will be up for their biggest assignment so far in next month's four-Test series against England during which Virender Sharma and Anil Chaudhary are set to make their on-field debut in the longest format. While Chaudhary and Sharma are part of the ICC Emirates Panel, they will be joined by India's Elite Panel representative Nitin Menon, who has already officiated on-field in a previous Test match, a BCCI said. Due to the travel restrictions with regards to COVID-19, the ICC approved home team's match officials for all the World Test Championship matches. The logic given was that with teams availing three Decision Review System appeals and being able to retain them in case of Umpires' Call, the risk of wrong decisions affecting a game has reduced considerably.
