Players and Officials
Emirates Elite Panel Umpires
Aleem Dar
Asad Rauf

Darrell Hair
Daryl Harper
Rudi Koertzen
Simon Taufel
Emirates Elite Panel Referees
Chris Broad
Jeff Crowe
Alan Hurst
Ranjan Madugalle
Roshan Mahanama
Mike Procter
Javagal Srinath
Every major Test playing country has 2 reps ie either 2 umpires or 1 Umpire and 1 referee or 2 referees(as in the case of Sri Lanka) ...India looks grossly under represented with only Javagal Srinath being the sole representative as Match referee while Australia appears grossly over represented with 3 umpires and 1 referee (making it 4 officials) ....Thought it was worth highlighting ...any thoughts...
