Aleem Dar Set To Retire At The End Of The 2024-25 Domestic Season
David Shepherd Trophy: Veteran umpire Aleem Dar will retire at the end of Pakistan's 2024-25 domestic season, concluding a career that has spanned nearly a quarter of a century. A true gentleman both on and off the field, Dar is also a three-time winner of the prestigious David Shepherd Trophy for ICC Umpire of the Year (2009-2011).
The 56-year-old umpire also enjoyed a playing career of 17 first-class and 18 List-A matches between 1986 and 1998, before he made his umpiring debut at first-class level during the 1998-99 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
From 2003 to 2023, he served on the ICC Elite Panel of Umpires, where he earned a reputation for his player management skills, understanding of the playing conditions, calm demeanour and outstanding decision-making.
