Geo Pakistani: Aleem Dar's 3rd consective award

Aleem Dar, from Pakistan, has won the Umpire of the year award for the third consecutive time. He beat competition from Steve Davis, Ian Gould and five-time winner Simon Taufel.

Aleem Dar, 43, officiated in five Tests and 13 ODIs during the voting period, including the World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka. He accepted his award from ICC Hall of Fame 2011 inductee Alan Davidson.

It's a great honour and I’m thankful to everyone at the ICC and also my colleagues on the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires along with the Pakistan Cricket Board,” Dar said. “I’d like to also thank all my family for all their support since I’m away nearly eight months of the year umpiring.”

Most of his decisions were also verified by DRS and during ICC ODI cricket world cup 2011, he remained 100% successful in DRS results. Team of PkScoop and the whole nation salutes to National Hero.
