Pakistani Cricket Umpire Asad Rauf is no longer to officiate the upcoming Champions Trophy in England after ICC officials pulled him out following reports that he may be under investigation from law enforcement officials in Mumbai.
"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activities, we feel that it is in Asad's best interests as well as those of the sport and the event itself, that he is withdrawn from participating in the ICC Champions Trophy," said Dave Richardson, the ICC chief executive.
No mention as of yet regarding what Rauf may be suspected of or under investigation for. Rauf is currently in India officiating in the Indian Premier League.
