Please ensure that you follow the new procedure by accessing the link to apply on the Palace Shield website rather than emailing the Umpire Appointments Secretary. The new process will be manged by Ansh Bansal, will save time and ensure that all parties have an audit trail of their request and any responses. It will be the clubs responsibility to contact the umpires via email once notified to finalise details.
