Mysore: Australian umpire Sam Nogajski on Monday discontinued officiating in a Ranji Tropy match between Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai, as he was hospitalized for dehydration with his Indian counterpart Virender Sharma doing duty from both ends.

The Aussie umpire complained of stomach ache and vomiting before the start of the second day’s play here and was admitted to a local hospital as a precautionary measure.

“The umpire has been admitted to a local hospital at 7a.m. after he complained of stomach problems. The doctors attending to him said it is a case of dehydration,” KSCA’s Mysore convener Balachandra said.
