Just realised that he has become an ICC Match Referee interesting career choice but I think it's great that former International/Domestic Players are putting something back into the game that is helping today's generation.

Would everyone think it is a viable option to invest more time in producing more and more of these systems that produce a lot more top quality educated officials.

The problem is that as soon as players retire they lose touch with the governing body or the international/domestic scene.

Some programs that I should be implemented if not already implemented are free courses for officials from each governing body this will encourage a lot of people to particapate in the sport of cricket and keep people involved for a long time.

And an instant hit umpire bonus for former International/Domestic players that work their way up to the international scene. This could be eg $50,000.

What other ideas could work?

If I was an international Cricketer, after I retire, I would play club until I was 50.

Paul Reiffel is a fc umpire in OZ - has had career fast-tracked because of playing experience. Basically, a year or so of grade and then straight into fc ranks.

Such rapid promotion is necessary as I cant imagine too many former test or fc players being content to work their way up the grade system over the course of many years

He was fourth umpire at the MCG Boxing Day test. Almost at int'l status that would suggest.

There's a difference in the systems, clearly. Almost all of our umps are ex-FC players at least, seems the reverse in Oz.
