Cricket umpires keen to improve standard of umpiring by RANJAN ANANDAPPA In a determined effort to uplift the standard of cricket umpiring the Executive Committee of the Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers held a planning meeting at the Moragolla Palm Garden Hotel, Beruwela presided by their newly elected president Mass Media Minister Imtiasz Bakeer Markar recently. The most important item in the agenda was forming various sub-committees for the year 2002-2003. One of those main sub committees was formed on the concept of the present General Secretary D. Ananda Dissanayake which is called the "Customer Care Unit". Presently only the cricket tournaments conducted by the Cricket Board call for captains reports at the conclusion of every game. This is considered to be an important factor for every umpire for promotions and for the betterment of umpires and the game. The Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers is a different body from the Cricket Board and did not require a captains report after tournament matches in the past. Presently, the assignment of umpires for the Sri Lanka Schools Cricket Association, Nationalised Services CA, State Services CA, Mercantile CA, and Police Department matches are done by the ACU&S and captains reports were not required. With the new concept, in future, matches of the associations mentioned will have to submit the captains reports after each game. These reports will be treated strictly confidential and the ACU&S will follow up each complaint carefully . The Customer Care Unit is D.C. Camillus Perera (Co-ordinator), J.W.K. Boteju (Secretary), D.A.S. Dissanayake, Pushpa Gunatileka,T. Junkeer. The Training and Technical Committee is headed by W.A. Udaya Wickrenasinghe (Chairman), Saman Amarasinghe, (Secretary), Ignatius Anandappa, D.M.H. Dissanayake, Asoka de Silva, A.C.S. Perera (Co-ordinator). |
