Enamul's different debut


Former national cricketer Enamul Haque Moni will start his second innings in international cricket as he is set to make his debut as an umpire in the ODI arena.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday disclosed the names of the match referees and umpires including the former Bangladesh spinner for the one-day series between hosts Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

The left-arm spinner, who took over umpiring two seasons ago, will officiate in the second and third one-day internationals on December 3 and 5. He will also stand in the only Twenty20 International alongside veteran Nadir Shah, who is slated to stand in the first, fourth and fifth games.

Sri Lankan Ranjan Madugalle, also the chief ICC referee, will be the match referee for the entire series, including the first-ever Twenty20 match at Khulna on November 28.

Indian umpire Suresh Shastri and Pakistani Nadeem Ghauri will accompany the two local men in the middle in the five-match one-day series that begins on November 30.
