HIL appoints foreign umpires for 2015 edition
New Delhi: Hockey India League (HIL) Thursday announced a panel of foreign umpires for its 2015 edition scheduled from Jan 22 to Feb 22.
The panel consists of experienced umpires from around the world who have conducted many matches in reputed tournaments.
David Tomlinson of New Zealand, Grant Hundley of South Africa, Jakub Mejzlik of the Czech Republic, Marcin Grochal of Poland, German Montes de Oca of Argentina and Francisco Vazquez of Spain will be seen umpiring the matches.
HIL will also be appointing a panel of Indian umpires and technical officials.
“The league is in its third year and hence it is necessary we take it a notch higher. The entire panel of umpires coming on board are esteemed and well known for their work towards the game around the world. HIL welcomes each one on board and will look forward to their contribution this season,” HIL CEO Elena Norman said.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
