Umpire Ivor Stephens To Be Inducted In USA Cricket Hall Of Fame

United States of America Cricket Umpires Association Inc. (USACUA)  Umpire Ivor Stephens own will be inducted into the United States of America Cricket Hall of Fame on October 2, 2010. Umpire Stephens will be one of six new inductees to receive the prestigious honor, and will join four other USACUA members in the Hall of Fame.

Born in Jamaica, umpire Stephen started, developed and perfected his skills doing matches at the highest levels in his country. He migrated to the United States of America and was a founding member who helped form the now national umpires association in this country.

He has given much to the game of cricket and have contributed in yeoman-like fashion to the training and certification of umpires in the USA.  Known among his peers as the best “well-dressed umpire” to grace the field, Umpire Stephens is a sharp-witted, but a no-nonsense arbitrator on the field of play. He is not afraid to net out discipline to players, and always commands respect for the game.

Currently semi-retired from active umpiring, he still shares his knowledge with those who aspire to learn the craft of umpire.
