KARACHI, Nov 8: Dave Orchard, the South African umpire, will officiate in all of Pakistan’s matches against Zimbabwe, starting from Saturday.

Indian umpire Srinivas Venkataraghavan, who stood in last month’s Pakistan-Australia Test series, will be Orchard’s partner in the two Tests in Harare (Nov 9-13) and Bulawayo (Nov 16-20).

Orchard will then stand in all five One-day Internationals while Zimbabwe will nominate their umpires.

The one-day series starts with a double-header in Bulawayo on Nov 23 and 24.

The remaining three matches will be played in Harare on Nov 27, Nov 30 and Dec 1, respectively.
