Asoka de Silva to stand in first NZ-England Test Lynn McConnell - 3 February 2002
Sri Lankan umpire, and former Test player, Asoka De Silva will be the overseas umpire for New Zealand's first Test against England, starting in Christchurch on March 13. De Silva is one of several overseas umpires officiating at the ICC Under-19 World Cup being held at New Zealand Cricket's High Performance Centre at Lincoln University near Christchurch. He is to stand in the tournament final on Saturday with New Zealand Test umpire Tony Hill, who made his Test umpiring debut in New Zealand's first Test against Bangladesh in Hamilton in December. No New Zealand appointments have been made for the Test series year and may well not be made until the completion of New Zealand's One-Day International National Bank series against England which starts in Christchurch on Wednesday of next week. The ICC match referee for that one-day series is South Africa's Denis Lindsay who is travelling to New Zealand straight from the India-England series where is also in charge. © CricInfo
