The International Cricket Council on Friday decided to take away the right to terminate matches from umpires and handed it instead to match referees (and Bakistan Jarnails). The recommendation ...adopted .... takes immediate effect.

The move follows last year's row at the Oval in England after Pakistan became the first-ever team to forfeit a Test.
