ICC withdraws Pak umpire Aleem Dar from India-South Africa series

International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that it has withdrawn Aleem Dar umpire from Pakistan from the remaining matches of the ongoing India-South Africa series.

The ICC made this decision following yesterday's incident in Mumbai where Shiv Sena workers stormed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)office, and protested against the scheduled



meeting of Indian and Pakistan cricket board chiefs.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan stars Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar won’t be giving commentary on the Mumbai game.

Aleem, a member of the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, had officiated in the first three ODIs and was also scheduled to umpire in the fourth ODI in Chennai on Thursday and fifth ODI in Mumbai on Sunday.
