Cricket: Otago umpires to fore

Otago umpires feature prominently in the 2014-15 New Zealand Cricket elite panel announced yesterday.

Chris Gaffaney, of Dunedin, and Derek Walker, of Oamaru, maintain their places on the nine-person panel.

They have also been reappointed as the New Zealand international on-field umpires.

They join Billy Bowden, who was recently reappointed to the ICC elite umpire panel as options on the international stage.

Former Otago first-class batsman Shaun Haig has been rewarded for consistent performances by being elevated to the 20-strong reserve umpires panel.
