NAPIER - West Indian umpire Billy Doctrove will not officiate on the third day of the second cricket test between New Zealand and India at McLean Park today due to illness.
He has been laid low with a chest infection and will be replaced by New Zealand's Evan Watkin, who was originally the third umpire.
Watkin will stand alongside England's Ian Gould.
Former Otago representative Chris Gaffaney, originally the fourth umpire, takes over from Watkin.
