While former Sri Lanka player Ranjan Madugalle, Mike Procter of South Africa, Jeff Crowe of New Zealand and Roshan Mahanama of Sri Lanka are full time officials, the second tier includes ex-West Indies skipper Clive Lloyd, Australian Alan Hurst and Srinath.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India had nominated the names of former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar, Robin Singh, Kiran More, Shivlal Yadav and Srinath, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said.

ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed and chairman of the ICC cricket committee Sunil Gavaskar conducted the ICC Referees' panel review.

Srinath, currently a television commentator, took 236 wickets in 67 Tests and 315 in 229 one-day internationals.
