We are delighted to tell you that Steve Meyler has been appointed to the ECB 2016 Umpire reserve panel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Steve left DCLG yesterday in what many people saw as retirement or a blessed relief. As many
people will know Steve has been umpiring locally at a high standard and his retirement was timed to coincide with the start of the 2016 season and
more high profile umpiring duties. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "reserve panel" allows Steve to umpire county 2XI fixtures, do reserve umpire duties at any
county match as well as continue umpiring at a local high level. It is hoped Steve will join the full panel if these duties go well. |
|

|
Although the appointments are quite fluid it's our understand that Steve is likely to make his First Class debut
as a reserve umpire at Hove for Sussex's 4 day match against Essex. His first match umpiring second XI cricket will be a three day match between Surrey and
Glamorgan at Guildford on Tuesday 3rd May (no late night on the last day of tour Steve!). |
