The Umpire Commissioner Retires - from Umpiring
HE is a Commissioner of Customs, a medical doctor turned IRS officer in 1990. Babus are famous for not taking decisions, but here is a babu who had to take split second decisions as an empanelled umpire of the Indian Cricket Board. He started umpiring at the age of 16! Having more than three decades of umpiring experience, the Kochi Customs Commissioner, Dr.KN Raghavan stepped down this week from the panel of umpires of BCCI.
Perhaps a greater honour to the Umpire Commissioner was when he hosted the great Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu in the Kochi Custom House last month.
