New Delhi, Feb 7: In yet another turn to the seemingly never-ending Oval Test controversy, Umpire Darrell Hair is now going to sue the International Cricket Council and the Pakistan Cricket Board.
According to reports, Hair will sue the two cricket bodies for racial discrimination.
The Australian umpire feels that he was made a scapegoat after the forfeited Oval Test between England and Pakistan last August, following which the ICC barred him from officiating in Test matches.
Interestingly, Billy Doctrove, his fellow umpire in the game when Pakistan were accused of ball-tampering, is now back in action.
Hair recently stood in a match between minnows Kenya and Scotland in Nairobi.
His contract as an elite umpire runs until March 2008, but he will not be allowed to stand in games involving Test nations.
