CA Introduces Merit-based High Performance Model For Umpiring Panel
This newly expanded panel is a result of a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) finalised between CA and the Umpire Leadership Group. The move represents a strategic departure from the previous system, where workloads were evenly distributed among umpires, regardless of their performance or the importance of the matches.
Shawn Craig, one of four umpires named to the CA International Panel and a key member of the Umpire Leadership Group, hailed the new model as a much-needed evolution in the way umpiring appointments are managed. Craig explained that the previous system often locked in umpiring appointments weeks in advance, with changes only made in cases of illness or sudden unavailability. This rigid approach sometimes resulted in lower-ranked umpires overseeing high-stakes matches, while top-performing officials were assigned to less critical games.
