Hair quits to focus on coaching
An interesting move, it seems that despite winning his case the ICC wasn't that keen on giving him tests. Probably the best move for him though in all honesty.
Darrell Hair, the Australian umpire, has handed in his resignation to the ICC in order to take up a coaching role.
Hair returned to top-flight umpiring in March, six months after a period of rehabilitation that was enforced by his employers, the ICC, in response to the forfeited England-Pakistan Oval Test in 2006. Hair officiated in two Tests between England and New Zealand in May but, in spite of continuing to be on the Elite Panel of umpires, he has not been offered any more.
Consequently, he has decided to end what has been a successful umpiring career, albeit one blighted by controversy in recent years. He takes up his new role with the New South Wales Umpires and Scorers Association (NSWUSA) in 10 days.
