GUYANA-born Canadian umpire Suresh Budhoo has been invited to umpire at the International Men’s Cricket (IMC) sanctioned Over-50s Spirit of Cricket QUAD Series, scheduled to take place in Mildura, Australia in September 2025.
A West Indies Cricket Umpires Association (WICUA) qualified umpire, Budhoo, who is the Chairman of the Umpiring and Selection Committees – CCMC, officiates in matches in Canada and the USA.
According to Budhoo, his WICUA certificate was a major factor in him being given the nod to officiate in the tournament and he’s eagerly looking forward to the experience.
A release from the CCMC pointed out that “this prestigious appointment will give Suresh the opportunity to officiate alongside some of the world’s most respected umpires, including the legendary Billy Bowden, former New Zealand cricketer and international umpire.
“Please join us in congratulating Suresh on this incredible opportunity. We are confident he will represent CCMC with pride and continue to grow through this valuable experience with prominent figures in the cricketing world.”
