NEW DELHI: Former India speedster Javagal Srinath is all set for a new innings with the International Cricket Council on Monday appointing him as match referee.

Srinath, who has been selected for the second tier of part-time match referees, will join former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd and Australian Alan Hurst in the panel.

Sri Lankans Ranjan Madugalle and Roshan Mahanama, South African Mike Procter and Jeff Crowe of New Zealand were retained in the Elite panel of full-time match referees after a review conducted by ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed and Chairman of Cricket Committee Sunil Gavaskar.

England's Chris Broad, who had twice called Indian offspinner Harbhajan Singh for chucking, was the only one who was excluded from the panel.

Other than Srinath, the Indian Cricket Board had recommended the names of Dilip Vengsarkar, Robin Singh, Kiran More and Shivlal Yadav for the post, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said.

The ICC, however, selected the former fast bowler who took 236 wickets in 67 Tests at an average of 30.49, while claiming 315 scalps at 28.08 in 229 one-day internationals.

Srinath welcomed the appointment, saying, "it's a great honour to be selected in the panel of match referees.

"It will definitely give me a chance to see the game from a macro level. I know it is quite a responsible job that will call for a few big decisions if such a situation arises. I will have to concentrate more than I did during my playing days," he said.

His first assignment would be decided by ICC soon.
