Hair offered to quit for $500,000
August 25, 2006 21:12 IST
Darrell Hair, the umpire at the centre of the Pakistan Test controversy, offered in a letter to quit top level cricket in return for $500,000, the International Cricket Council said on Friday. ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed told a news conference Hair was under great stress when he wrote the letter. "He had no dishonest, underhand or malicious intent," Speed said. An ICC executive board will meet in Dubai next week to decide any action over the contents of the letter.
