ICC Chair Jay Shah Expresses Sadness On Demise Of Umpiring Legend Dickie Bird
On Tuesday, his home county Yorkshire said Bird passed away peacefully at his home. Bird, a useful batsman who played 93 first-class matches for Yorkshire and Leicestershire scoring two centuries, officiated as an umpire in a first-class game for the first time in 1970.
He stood in his first Test match three years later and went on to officiate in 66 Tests and 69 ODIs, including three ICC World Cup finals. His last Test match was between India and England at Lord’s in 1996, when he was given a guard of honour by both teams and a standing ovation by the crowd.
