The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has planned to arrange a training workshop starting Tuesday for Afghan cricket umpires to further promote the game in the country, an official said on Monday. The ACC Umpiring Resource Person Mahboob Shah, a veteran of 28 Tests and 32 One-Day Internationals, would provide training to 24 Afghan umpires during the course, Afghanistan's Cricket Board spokesman, Elham Yasini, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The workshop lasting six days is aimed at practical training to umpires, who had been selected by the board. The umpires hailed from 18 provinces, he said.
Yasini hoped the workshop would help further promote cricket in Afghanistan.
"This is for the third time the ACC arranges such training workshop for umpires in the country," he said, adding the board planned to train talented players in every department of the game.
The first workshop for umpires was held in 2004, in which 24 umpires had received training and about 24 umpires, most of national cricket players, were trained during the second work in 2005.
"Currently we have six cricket umpires who have received certificates the ACC with distinction," Yasini said.
The national cricket trainer Taj Maluk Alam praised the ACC support towards Afghan cricket players.
