3rd ODI: Ranjan Madugalle Becomes First Match Referee To Officiate In 400 Men’s ODI Games
ICC Chief Match Referee: By officiating in the third ODI between Sri Lanka and India at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday, Ranjan Madugalle has become the first match referee to adjudicate in 400 Men’s ODI matches.
He was honoured with a plaque on behalf of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and International Cricket Council (ICC) by SLC CEO Ashley de Silva before the start of the third ODI, with captains Rohit Sharma and Charith Asalanka applauding him for achieving this great landmark. Madugalle’s 31-year career as an ICC Match Referee is the longest by anyone in the history of the game.
“It has been a great honour and privilege to have officiated in international cricket for so many years and it’s almost dreamlike to be reaching this milestone. I was pleased when I got the opportunity to be associated with the game after my time as a cricketer but never thought that it would stretch to over three decades!”
