Hair back in action ... in Canada

Darrell Hair, who was cut from the ICC’s elite umpiring panel last year, will stand in three matches between Canada and the Netherlands in Ontario, AAP’s John Coomber reports.

In an indication of how far Hair has fallen from grace, the 76-Test veteran - the third most experienced umpire in world cricket - is listed to stand alongside Roger Dill, a 49-year-old Bermudan firefighter.

The pair will officiate in the four-day Intercontinental Cup game and two one-day internationals between the sides next week.
