Marais Erasmus retires from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Umpires after the second and final Test between New Zealand and Australia which starts on Friday.
Marais Erasmus, a 60-year-old umpire, will officiate for one final time in the second Test of the ICC World Test Championship series between New Zealand and Australia. Erasmus, who joined the Elite Panel of ICC umpires in 2010, has had a wonderful time officiating in top-class matches and global ICC events. He believes it is time to step away and contribute to the game in another way. Erasmus was appointed to the panel in 2010.
ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice has congratulated South African umpire Marius Erasmus on his outstanding career. Erasmus has officiated in numerous global ICC tournaments, including World Cup finals, and high-profile series worldwide. Allardice praised Erasmus' skill, calmness, and composure, even in challenging situations.
He also praised Erasmus as a fine team man and respected by colleagues in the ICC and on the Elite panel. Erasmus' association with ICC events is significant, having officiated in 25 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup matches, 33 ICC Men's T20 World Cup matches, 18 ICC Women's T20 World Cup matches, and six ICC Champions Trophy games.
