The three-times ICC Umpire of the Year said that it was an honor for him to equal his idol, Steve Bucknor’s record of officiating 128 Test matches.
The 51-year-old elite panel umpire urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to induct at least 20 umpires in the central contract to encourage local umpires so that they can go on to represent Pakistan at the international stage. He also requested the cricket board to increase the match fee for domestic matches to Rs 10,000 for umpires.
