Pakistan umpire Asad Rauf has been withdrawn by the ICC from officiating in the upcoming Champions Trophy in England after media reports indicated he was under investigation by Mumbai Police. "In the wake of reports that the Mumbai Police are conducting an investigation into Asad Rauf's activities, we feel that it is in Asad's best interests as well as those of the sport and the event itself, that he is withdrawn from participating in the ICC Champions Trophy," Dave Richardson, the ICC chief executive, said. The ICC did not mention what the Mumbai Police were reportedly investigating Rauf for, and said it had no further comment to make. http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cham...ry/637367.html

that was poor judgement. Nobody could have predicted that match would reach in such situation. Can't be spot-fixed.

PCB to frame new rules to keep a check on umpires

New Delhi: The PCB on Thursday said it will soon introduce new rules to bring Pakistani umpires under its "domain" in the wake of ICC's decision to withdraw Asad Rauf from the Champions Trophy following his questioning in connection with the spot-fixing scandal in IPL. PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf, though, said he is not in the know-how about Rauf's removal from the elite panel of umpires from next month's Champions Trophy to be held in England. "It (Rauf's withdrawal) is not in our knowledge. He did not go to India (to officiate in IPL) with our permission. We are not involved in the umpires business in IPL. "Till now Pakistani umpires and match referees are not in our (PCB's) domain. But now we are going to have a Board meeting soon where we will bring in new rules to bring umpires from our country in our domain," Ashraf said. "As per the rules, the Pakistani umpires will have to sign a contract with the Board," he added. The spot-fixing saga in the ongoing IPL took a dramatic turn today with ICC withdrawing controversial Pakistani umpire Rauf from the panel of match officials for the Champions Trophy as his role in the scandal is being investigated by the Mumbai Police. The ICC on Thursday issued a media release stating that Rauf had been removed from the elite panel of umpires of the June 6 to 21 tournament. The PCB chief, however, said that the spot-fixing scandal in IPL, which is getting murkier day by day, is a wake up call for the BCCI. "I don't know why things are not tightened or managed in a proper way in IPL. All the mud-slinging is coming up in the IPL. It's a wake up call for the organisers of IPL," Ashraf told 'Times Now'. Rauf was also embroiled in a controversy last year when a small-time model named Leena Kapoor accused the Pakistani umpire of sexually exploiting her for months before refusing to marry her.

With only 2 weeks to go for CT, ICC can't wait for the police to finish investigation and leave a questionable umpire in place. So decision is understandable.

She is a pretty decent looking girl... But anyway.. we don't get to decide how we look.. so why comment about people's looks? Sorry but It's the lowest form of argument and character exhibition.
I agree with you here .There are few things we shouldn't be blowing out of proportion.It was a seperate incident and we shouldn't mix that incident with this .
