Ranjan Madugalle makes ODI history (Pics)
Ranjan Madugalle has become the first match referee to officiate 400 ODIs, with his overseeing the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo.
Madugalle has been a match referee since 1993 and in that time has also officiated more than 200 Test matches, another record. Additionally, he served as the ICC’s chief match referee until that position was abolished.
Madugalle, in a statement put out by the ICC, said getting to this landmark was “dreamlike”. “It has been a great honour and privilege to have officiated in international cricket for so many years and it’s almost dreamlike to be reaching this milestone.
