“I would like to thank the ICC for its support, my fellow Match Officials, past and present, for their professionalism and friendship, and my wife, Karen, and my family, for their encouragement and tolerance.

“It has been a rewarding journey, and I have treasured every moment of it.”

Pycroft scored 152 runs in three Tests and 295 runs in 20 ODIs between 1983 and 1992
