The Australian cricket umpire Daryl Harper won't officiate during the upcoming twenty20 world cup in the Caribbean, despite being one of world cricket's elite umpires.
The ICC, cricket's global governing body, says Harper had been omitted after an expert panel concluded his general performance did not merit selection for the event.
The ICC says he hasn't been dropped because of his controversial role during the fourth Test between South Africa and England in Johannesburg, where he gave South Africa captain Graeme Smith not out on a caught behind review.
Smith went on to score a century that led the Proteas to a series-levelling victory.
Harper is the only official on the ICC's elite panel, which is made up of 11 international umpires, to miss making the 13-strong list.
The ICC has also included Shavir Tarapore, Marais Erasmus and Rod Tucker in the panel of umpires for the Twenty20 event in the Caribbean.
List of umpires: Billy Bowden, Aleem Dar, Steve Davis, Billy Doctrove, Ian Gould, Tony Hill, Rudi Koertzen, Asoka de Silva, Simon Taufel, Asad Rauf (all from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires), Marais Erasmus, Shavir Tarapore and Rod Tucker (all from the Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires).
Match Referees: Ranjan Madugalle, Alan Hurst and Jeff Crowe (all from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees).
