Sharfuddoula to officiate Sydney Test as on-field umpire
Sharfuddoula recently served as the third umpire during the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where his controversial decision to dismiss Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal sparked widespread debate.
Bangladeshi umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat is set to officiate as an on-field umpire in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney on Friday.
Sharfuddoula recently served as the third umpire during the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where his controversial decision to dismiss Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal sparked widespread debate.
In that match, Sharfuddoula overturned the on-field umpire's not-out call against Jaiswal, citing visual evidence that showed a slight deviation of the ball after passing the bat. The decision was made despite Snicko, the technology used to detect edges, showing no spike. His call played a key role in Australia's 184-run victory over India in the penultimate Test on Monday.
