Retirement age for umpires should be fixed so that people like Bucknor should not be allowed to continue

taufel is retiring for obvious reasons. travel, pressure with international cricket. Bnothing to do with age. He has been umpiring for a while now.

this is not what indians in india are used to.

people in the anglo-saxon world often take time to reinvent from a career and do something else.

Good thinking Prasenjit. But Bucknor has been removed only from the Indo - Aussie Series, and the present Tri-Series. ICC may still have some explaining to do.2K
