According to International Cricket Council (ICC) rules, only one third-country umpire is required to stand for a one-dayer, with the other umpire being from the home country.

But Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan said that they planned to go one step further.

"Making errors is a human trait. But when a home umpire gets it wrong, it might ignite strong reactions. This situation is least likely to happen in case of neutral umpires," Shaharyar told the BBC Sport website.

"When we play against India, the struggle can be felt everywhere in the two nations. Any mistake by a home umpire may cause resentment not only among fans but teams as well."
