Australian umpire Ben Treloar will officiate in two Ranji Trophy matches in India, while Indian umpire Parashar Joshi will travel to Australia to oversee two Sheffield Shield matches and one One Day Cup fixture under the CA-BCCI Umpire Exchange Program.

The initiative aims to provide both officials with an opportunity to gain international exposure and experience by officiating in domestic cricket tournaments in each other's countries.

Treloar will begin his India assignment with the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Gujarat, scheduled to take place from October 18 to 21. He will then officiate in the fixture between Mumbai and Haryana from October 26 to 29.


The Australian umpire brings extensive domestic cricket experience to the exchange programme. He has officiated in 30 first-class matches, 20 List A games and 39 Big Bash League fixtures. His experience also includes two women's One Day Internationals and four women's T20 Internationals.

Ben Treloar's Role In Umpire Development

Apart from his on-field responsibilities, Treloar works as the Umpire Education Officer at Cricket New South Wales, where he contributes to the development and training of emerging match officials.

His efforts in umpire education have earned him four George Borwick Memorial Awards from the New South Wales Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association.

Parashar Joshi's Experience In Indian Domestic Cricket

Joshi has officiated in several domestic cricket competitions in India, including the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy. His experience includes 19 first-class matches, along with 32 List A fixtures in tournaments such as the Vijay Hazare Trophy and Deodhar Trophy.

He has also officiated in 40 T20 matches, including fixtures in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Parashar Joshi's Schedule In Australia

Joshi will begin his Australian assignment with the Sheffield Shield match between Queensland and Tasmania at the Gabba, scheduled from November 11 to 14. He will then officiate in the One Day Cup fixture between the two teams at the same venue on November 16.

His participation in the exchange programme will conclude with the Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales and Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground, scheduled from November 22 to 25.
