 Asad Rauf, the previous ICC tip top umpire from Pakistan who directed in 231 worldwide matches across 13 years, has died because of a heart failure in Lahore. He was 66. Rauf, who started umpiring in the year 2000, was elevated to ICC's tip top board in 2006 and over the course of the following seven years proceeded to become perhaps of Pakistan's most conspicuous umpire.

Alongside Aleem Dar, Rauf's rise gave another character to Pakistan's umpiring board and improved its standing, which for quite a long time earlier was being let somewhere near its unfortunate guidelines. Rauf made his umpiring debut in 1998 during a First-Class game prior to remaining in quite a while lady ODI two years after the fact. In 2004, Rauf was raised to the ODI board in 2004 and administered in his most memorable Test the next year in 2005.

Rauf kept on directing matches at the high level till 2013 preceding his vocation stopped after his name was engaged with the 2013 IPL spot-fixing embarrassment. Rauf was one of the 'needed blamed' by the Mumbai police and the entire advancement ruined his umpiring profession. After three years, in 2016, the BCCI restricted Rauf after he was seen as at legitimate fault for enjoying degenerate practices and upsetting the game. He was blamed for tolerating gifts from bookies and his association in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing embarrassment. The prior year, Rauf was likewise blamed for sexual double-dealing from a model based out of Mumbai after she guaranteed that he had vowed to wed her yet pulled out.

Prior to taking up umpiring, Rauf partook in a really fair vocation as a homegrown cricketer in Pakistan. A success during the 1980s as a right-given hitter, Rauf scored 3423 runs from 71 Five star games and 611 runs in 40 Rundown A matches. The 1986-87 season was a breakout year for Rauf as he amassed 673 runs at a normal of 35.36 including five fifties and one hundred years. Be that as it may, because of unfortunate structure, he could support his cricket vocation for one more year prior to wandering into umpiring.

Rauf wasn't in that frame of mind until recently, when a video of him selling shoes at Pakistan's well known Landa Marketplace became a web sensation. Rauf referenced that 10 years in the wake of remaining in his last ODI, he has lost interest in cricket and presently needs to succeed in his new job.

"This isn't for me, this is the day to day wages of my staff, I work for them. I've umpired in such countless games for my entire life, there's nobody left to see now. I haven't been in contact with the game starting around 2013, in light of the fact that once I leave something I leave it totally," Rauf had said in a new meeting to a Pakistani news channel, Paktv.tv back in June.

"It is my propensity to arrive at the pinnacle of anything that work I do. I began function as a businessperson, I have arrived at its pinnacle. I played cricket; I arrived at the pinnacle. And afterward when I began as an umpire, I shared with myself that I really want to arrive at the top here too. I have no voracity. I have seen huge amount of cash, and I have seen the world, with convention. One of my children is an extraordinary kid. The other one has recently returned from America (US) in the wake of finishing his graduation."
