Ramaswami will be the third eye

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) appointed Indian umpire VK Ramaswami as third umpire for the final of the Asian Test Championship to be held between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Bangabandhu National Stadium from next Friday.

This was revealed by Bangladesh Cricket Board general secretary yesterday.

Although, the ACC designated all the match officials before the championship started in Calcutta on February 16th, the only name missing in that list was that of the third umpire for the Dhaka match.

According to the rules of ACC, the third umpire would be appointed from the country not playing in the three-nation tournament final.

Meanwhile, two umpires designated for the final - David Shepherd of England and Doug Cowie of New Zealand - arrived in the city yesterday along with match referee Cammie Smith of West Indies.
