Former Zimbabwe captain Andy Pycroft on Thursday became the fourth official in the history of men's Test cricket to complete 100 matches as a match referee with the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia.
Former Sri Lankan Ranjan Madugalle tops the list as the most experienced match referee with 225 Tests, followed by New Zealand's Jeff Crowe (125) and England's Chris Broad (123) in third.
Pycroft (68 years) played three Tests and 20 ODIs for Zimbabwe from 1983-1992. The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on its website, "Pycroft said that he has enjoyed every moment of his journey of 100 matches as a match referee who has also played the role of referee in 238 men's ODIs, 174 men's T20 and 21 women's T20 matches since 2009.
Pycroft said it was a huge honour to reach this milestone, adding: “It’s been an amazing journey and I’ve cherished every moment of it.”
