Simon Taufel who topped in the ICC Elite panel umpire for the past four years announces that he will not continue in ICC after this March. The rude decisions against the umpires by the ICC may be one of reasons for his decision. Recently Steve Bucknor was ruled out of the INDIA down under series against Australia for his errors.

He told the Daily Telegraph that I am taking it year by year. It's important to spend time with my family, spend more time with my kids. I am always looking for new opportunities, not necessarily umpiring.

"There is lots of room for improvement with training and support at the ICC level," he said. "It's challenging. The difference between us and the players is we don't have a home series as such. That makes it harder. There are fewer opportunities for us.

Recently the pace spearhead Shane Bond and Adam Gilchrist announced their retirement from the International cricket.But they will play in IPL where they will get a huge money from limited work.There is also news that IPL is set to make an offer to Taufel.

ICC have to take certain steps to limit the number of International matches and increasing the count of Elite panel umpires.
