'The participants were addressed by former Team India coaches and captains Rahul Dravid & Anil Kumble, ICC match referee Javagal Srinath, ICC Elite Panel Umpire Nitin Menon and Head Education NCA Sujith Somasundar to understand different perspectives,' said BCCI on X.

Several domestic match referees including the experienced Manu Nayyar attended the session, exchanging and deliberating on various points.

Both Srinath, who has been serving as a match referee since 2006, and Nitin were recently officiated in the T20 World Cup, and they shared the experience from the marquee event.

The former Indian quick is also one of the few referees to have officiated in over 250 ODIs.

In fact, both Srinath and Nitin were retained in the ICC Elite Panel of referees and umpires earlier this year.
