Former Test umpire Harold ‘Dickie’ Bird has died at the age of 92, Yorkshire County Cricket Club have announced. Bird was one of the most prominent umpires of his era, and was made president of his home county in 2014. In a statement, Yorkshire added: “The thoughts of everyone at the Yorkshire County Cricket Club are with Dickie’s family and friends during this time. Born on April 19, 1933 in Barnsley, he was named Harold Dennis, having not yet adopted his schoolboy nickname, and rose to play county cricket with Yorkshire and Leicestershire. Bird umpired a county match for the first time in 1970 and stood in his first Test just three years later.
