Howzzat for Indian umpires? Not too good

Former Indian paceman Javagal Srinath bridged the gap between India and the ICC officals when the latest list of refrees and officals was announced.
While Srinath follows his illustrious state-mate and distinguished middle-order batsman GR Vishwanath to the post that ensures that the game is played in the right manner,no Indian figures in the Elite Panel of umpires.
It is matter of concern the richest cricketing nation does not have an umpire in the Elite Panel. The reason: AV Jayprakash and K Hariharan, who have been in the second rung of International Panel, do not have the required stats to back them for promotion. Jayprakash is yet to stand in a test since the Elite Panel came into existance two years ago.
