Bangladesh: Lankan umpires in city

Our Sports Reporter
10 December 1998



Four Sri Lankan umpires arrived in the city yesterday to conduct the ongoing Janakantha Premier Division cricket league matches.

The Sri Lankan quartet - JWK Botejo, Philip Mendis, NKB Gunawardena and SS Sirisoma - will have a hectic schedule from today onwards as three matches have been slated per-day.

This is for the third consecutive season the organisers of Dhaka league, in the face of demands from all the clubs, have imported Sri Lankan umpires to officiate in domestic cricket.

But unlike previous years, local umpires will stand along side the Lankans in every match.
