Hair to umpire England Test

Darrell Hair will return to top-level international umpiring for the first time in almost two years when he officiates in the second Test between England and New Zealand at Old Trafford on May 23.

It will be the first Test Hair has been involved in since the infamous clash between England and Pakistan at The Oval in August 2006.

The Australian's ruling that Pakistan had tampered with the ball led to the game becoming the first in cricket history to be forfeited.

Hair will stand alongside Simon Taufel at Old Trafford and will also umpire the third Test with Steve Bucknor.
