Christopher Mark Taylor, a 45-year-old Umpire from Jamaica, is set to officiate three matches of the ongoing President’s Trophy Grade-I 2025-26 as part of the International Cricket Council’s Umpire Exchange Programme.

According to the PCB, the Ghani Glass v Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) game at the National Bank Stadium beginning on January 21 will be Taylor’s first game in the tournament.

He will also be the field umpire in Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) v SNGPL fixture at the KCCA Stadium starting January 27, and Sahir Associates v Pakistan Television (PTV) game at the National Bank Stadium, scheduled to start on February 2.

Taylor has experience of officiating five women’s one-day and three T20 internationals apart from 41 first-class, 56 List-A and 53 T20s in total.

His last assignment was the West Indies domestic 50-over competition in November 2025.

As part of the exchange programme, Taylor will not only get a chance to expedite his own growth away from home but also help the local umpires learn from his experiences and observations as a seasoned match official in the West Indies’ domestic cricket circuit.
