The Board of Control for Cricket in India revamped its panel of international umpires and brought in three new faces to do duty in one-day internationals at home, BCCI Joint Secretary MP Pandove announced in Mumbai on Friday.

Amish M Saheba of Gujarat, Suresh Shastri of Mumbai and GA Pratap Kumar of Andhra Pradesh will replace K Hariharan (Delhi), I Sivaram (Hyderabad) and A V Jayaprakash (Karnataka) in the panel with immediate effect.

While Saheba and Shastri will perform on-field duties, Pratap Kumar will be the TV umpire, Pandove said after a meeting of the umpire sub-committee chaired by BCCI Vice-President Lalit Modi.

The appointments were made for three years. The decision to reconstitute the entire panel was taken largely because the existing members could not graduate to the ICC's Elite Umpires' Panel.

ICC reviews the performance of all international umpires before deciding on their promotion to the Elite Umpires' List. Every July-August ICC invites nominations from every Board.

The Full Members can nominate three umpires and they can be re-nominated or withdrawn. India has only Javagal Srinath, as a part time match referee, in the ICC's list of elite umpires and match referees.
