Match officials for the two-Test series between Pakistan and South Africa have been announced, with Pakistan's Aleem Dar and Ahsan Raza officiating for the first time at a Test match at their home ground. Match referee Javed Malik will also be officiating for the first time in the Test format.


Aleem Dar, a member of the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Elite Panel, says the appointment of an umpire in a Test match in Pakistan is an emotional moment for him. "I have officiated in 132 Tests so far, but finally, after 17 years, the moment has come for me to umpire in a Test match played in my country for the first time," he said.


"Like a player, match officials look forward to officiating at their home ground and I have seen this moment in limited-overs cricket but Test cricket is the most important format of the game," Aleem Dar said. I look forward to officiating in both the Test matches between Pakistan and South Africa
