Former Zimbabwe captain Andy Pycroft on Thursday grew to become solely the fourth official within the historical past of males’s Check cricket to finish 100 video games as a match referee with the Boxing Day contest between India and Australia that started in Melbourne on Thursday. The unique checklist is led by former Sri Lanka participant Ranjan Madugalle as essentially the most skilled match referee with 225 Checks, adopted by New Zealand’s Jeff Crowe (125) and England’s Chris Broad (123). The 68-year-old Pycroft performed three Checks and 20 ODIs for Zimbabwe from 1983-1992.
“Pycroft, who has also officiated in 238 men’s ODIs, 174 men’s T20Is and 21 women’s T20Is since 2009, said he has enjoyed every minute of the journey to 100 matches as a match referee,’ the ICC said on its website.
Pycroft said touching the mark is a great honour and he is thankful to have been afforded the opportunity to officiate all over the world, “embracing totally different cultures.” “It has been a rewarding journey and I’ve treasured each second of it,” he added.
