Former players should officiate, says Jones
Melbourne: Former Australian cricketer Dean Jones feels retired players should take up umpiring to improve the plummeting standard of on-field officiating that has marred the ongoing cricket season.
“The best umpires, probably apart from Simon Taufel, are the guys who used to be players like David Shepherd and Dicky Bird,” Jones was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.
“They are the guys who know the sights to look for and the special sounds of bats and pads and the individual sounds of different grounds,” he added.
“It’s time for cricket to be pro-active. We have former players Rod Tucker and Paul Reiffel in the system and we need more,” he said.
“May be we have to go to them and get them involved for a couple of years and see whether it works,” he added. — PTI
