Iconic former cricket umpire Dickie Bird has died at the age of 92.
Bird, whose first-class playing career was cut short by injury, became one of the most famous umpires in the game.

He officiated in 66 Tests and 76 one-day internationals, including three World Cup finals.

Bird's home county Yorkshire, whom he played for and served as president, described him as a "national treasure, known not only for his umpiring excellence but also for his eccentricities and warmth".

"He leaves behind a legacy of sportsmanship, humility and joy - and a legion of admirers across generations," Yorkshire said.
