ICC congratulates Aleem Dar on completing 200 ODIs

Dar’s career highlights include standing in two ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup finals – in 2007 and 2011. He has also umpired in 125 Test matches, which is the second highest after Steve Bucknor’s 128 Tests, and his 43 Twenty20 Internationals are the highest by any umpire. He is only the third to get to the milestone after Rudi Koertzen (209) and Billy Bowden (200).

Adrian Griffith, ICC’s Senior Manager – Umpires and Referees: “Aleem has been one of our most reliable umpires, who has performed his duties consistently over a long period. The length of his career shows his quality and reflects our belief in him and the role he plays as a custodian of the game. On behalf of the ICC, I would like to congratulate Aleem for reaching this landmark and wish him continued success in his career.”
