Even if you have no intention of becoming a regular umpire
in your post-playing adult years, you should take an umpiring course at the
earliest opportunity. There are two reasons for this. The first is that you
will almost certainly be required to umpire your own matches at some stage in your playing career. The second is that the best way to learn all you can about the laws
of the game is through an umpiring course.
Bad officials spoil most games, but worse, biased or
ignorant umpires can completely ruin a game of cricket. Don’t allow yourself,
while umpiring in your own match, to be caught out by ignorance of the laws
when required to make a decision.
