    The new generation of umpires

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of September, No Comments; be the first!

    Prolific Patrick - and that’s not his full name - has another interesting article on his blog, this time on Michael Gough, the former Durham batsman-turned-umpire. He’s just 26 and was highly regarded as a young player (he represented England Under-19s) - and is now a first-class umpire, which is an interesting development. Talking to Patrick, he says: “All sports officials are getting younger,” Gough said. “It is no longer for old guys in white jackets.”

    Worth a read.
